JLL, a leading real estate consulting firm, has recently announced the appointment of James Cameron as the head of energy and infrastructure for the Asia Pacific region in its capital markets business line. In a press release on January 14, the company revealed that this newly created role will be based in Singapore.
Cameron’s main responsibility will be to build a strong team in Asia Pacific. This appointment is in line with JLL’s goal to create a global capital advisory capability that can cater to the needs of local and international developers and investors. The firm believes that Cameron’s expertise will complement their existing EMEA Energy & Infrastructure business and enable them to better serve their clients.
This move is seen as a strategic step towards meeting the long-term capital requirements for infrastructure and renewables in order to tackle the challenges posed by decarbonisation, digitalisation, economic growth, and rapid urbanisation.
Stuart Crow, CEO of capital markets for JLL Asia Pacific, said, “We see significant potential in leveraging our unique expertise in mobilising multiple sources of capital and JLL’s unrivalled track record in advising on renewables transactions globally to serve clients within the energy and infrastructure sector across Asia Pacific.”
In his new role, Cameron will collaborate with JLL’s capital markets, investment banking, and debt advisory teams across the region. He will focus on identifying capital raising and transaction advisory opportunities for large infrastructure and renewable projects. These opportunities will cater to various entities such as institutional investors, private equity firms, asset managers, strategic infrastructure and renewables operators and developers, high net-worth individuals, and family offices.
With over 25 years of experience in real asset capital markets, Cameron has previously served as the global head of commercial real estate at Standard Chartered Bank. He has a strong track record in mobilising private and public equity and financing for infrastructure projects at both global and regional levels.
“Cameron’s experience in this exciting space is unmatched in the region, and we are extremely confident in his ability to establish JLL’s leadership position through his expertise and client relationships,” said Crow.
This strategic appointment is expected to further enhance JLL’s capabilities in the region and solidify its position as a leading real estate consulting firm.
Purchasing a condominium in Singapore provides a wealth of advantages, with one of the key benefits being the potential for increased property value. This advantage is directly tied to the country’s advantageous location as a major global business hub, as well as its strong economic foundations that drive a steady demand for real estate. Over the years, Singapore’s real estate market has consistently shown positive growth, particularly in highly sought-after areas where condominium prices have seen significant appreciation. This creates an attractive opportunity for individuals aiming to invest in condos at the opportune moment and retain ownership for a longer period, resulting in substantial capital gains. Condo
