Amongst the world's top 10 global real estate investment firms
GIC RE is one of the few truly global real estate investors today, ranked amongst the world's top 10 real estate investment firms. It manages a multi-billion US dollar portfolio of direct and indirect property investments worldwide, with over 150 investments across more than 30 countries.

The scale and spread of GIC RE's global business is unparalleled. Our investments span across most property sectors, including office, retail, residential, industrial and hotel, as well as other niche sectors such as senior and student housing, and sports and medical facilities.

In addition to assets that are held directly or in partnership with other investors, GIC RE invests extensively in indirect real estate vehicles such as funds, public and private corporate entities, real estate investment trusts (REITs) and real estate debt. The mode of investment is dependent on factors such as the size and depth of the local property market, the sophistication of the local capital markets, policies governing foreign investment and our asset allocation investment strategies.

GIC RE's growth has been exponential - from a real estate investment department of GIC in 1982, to its present status as a global real estate investment corporation comprising 7 offices in Singapore, London, New York, San Francisco, Seoul, Shanghai and Tokyo, with close to 150 staff from all over the world.

GIC RE, with a mandate of investing in all real estate-related assets outside of Singapore, will continue to be a leading real estate player that is capable of taking on both the evolving characteristics of real estate as an asset class, and the challenges of investing on a global scale.
