Urban Development Advisory & Management
Climate responsive urban future
Across the globe, the rate of urbanisation continues on an upward trajectory. Half the world’s population lives in urban areas today and the United Nations predicts that this will rise to two-thirds by 2050. Consequently, cities are major contributors to climate change, accounting for over 70% of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.1
For people to thrive, businesses to flourish, and cities to prosper, urban developments need to function as economic engines that drive job creation, offer vibrant and safe environments for community living and be environmentally sustainable and climate resilient.
Both governments and private sector players are increasingly in search of collaborative models to effectively build sustainable urban developments in this era of climate change. Business-as-usual approaches will no longer benefit the people and businesses these developments aim to attract and serve. We partner with you to build a strategic roadmap and delivery mechanism to realise this vision of a sustainable urban future.
Enabling developments for equitable growth
Governments play a critical role in catalysing sustainable urban growth through a conducive policy landscape, robust infrastructure provisions and effective city services. In doing so they help convert valuable land in urban areas to accommodate purpose-built urban developments in the form of townships, industrial parks and integrated urban centres.
As a multidisciplinary consultancy and advisory firm in the built environment sector, we support government clients on both greenfield and urban renewal projects to deliver a positive long-term impact on local communities. We incorporate climate resiliency and adaptation strategies in our land planning as well as infrastructure development solutions to create adaptable urban environments that are built to handle extreme weather conditions caused by climate change. We go one step further by creating a decarbonisation and net-zero roadmap for developments that have the potential of doing well by doing good.

Enhancing growth and returns in Urban Developments
New and renewed urban developments present exciting opportunities for private sector players, including investors and property developers. Maximising returns on investment requires identifying suitable developments in the context of evolving market trends, seizing early-entry opportunities, and effectively managing development risks.
Development Strategy
We partner investors and private developers throughout the entire lifecycle of a master development or real estate project—from acquisition and visioning to strategy development and execution.
With a focus on business objectives, ROI goals, and commercial viability, our advisory services include analysing site attributes, market data, and emerging trends to formulate an effective development brief and optimal product mix.
Development Management
As the project moves into the implementation stage, our expert team provides advisory support or undertakes comprehensive development management services. We oversee the entire development process while safeguarding shareholders’ interests as your superintending officer representative.
Development Advisory
As the project nears completion, our focus shifts to crystallising and delivering value creation. At this stage, our development advisory encompasses executing the project’s brand strategy through promotion, marketing, and leasing efforts.
We are also well-positioned to provide asset optimisation and community development services, leveraging shared platforms and technology to pivot towards real estate as a service.
Facilities Management
After project completion, we continue to add value through comprehensive facilities management services. Our professional team oversees daily operations and maintenance, ensuring that all spaces under our care remain safe, comfortable, and optimally functional while extending the development’s lifespan.
