Global luxury property agency, Christie’s International Real Estate, announced on August 22 that it has officially relaunched in Singapore. This marks the company’s return to the city-state after previously establishing a presence in 2017 through a partnership with SQFT Global Properties, founded by Singaporean owner and managing director Dave Loo. However, the office was closed in early 2019.
This time, Christie’s International Real Estate Singapore is under new leadership, headed by Harmeet Singh Bedi as Managing Director and Dipika Bedi as Director. Harmeet Singh Bedi, the former CEO of Singapore-based Prime US REIT Management, brings over 30 years of experience in financial and real estate investment management. Dipika Bedi, with over 20 years of expertise in marketing, advertising, art sales, and event management, complements the leadership team.
The firm is operating from a newly renovated historic shophouse on China Street in Singapore’s Central Business District (CBD). It will specialize in residential brokerage services, focusing on Singapore’s luxury real estate market. Additionally, the company will assist Singapore-based clients, both individual and institutional, in exploring global real estate investment opportunities through Christie’s extensive network in nearly 50 countries.
“Singapore is a close-knit, highly capitalized, and brand-conscious luxury real estate market, with buyers and sellers who demand the highest level of service—exactly what Christie’s International Real Estate provides,” says Harmeet Singh Bedi.
Christie’s International Real Estate maintains a strong connection with Christie’s auction house, known for the sale of art and luxury items, including wine and watches. This relationship offers clients access to exclusive marketing collaborations and a direct association with the prestigious auction house.
The Singapore team will also be joined by Himmat Singh, who will serve as Joint Managing Director, and Rohini Singh as Director. Both have extensive experience in luxury real estate, having led Christie’s International Real Estate’s affiliate in India for over 25 years.
The Singapore affiliate joins Christie’s existing network across Asia, which includes offices in India, Taiwan, Vietnam, Japan, and Dubai.
“The current dynamism and potential in Singapore’s luxury property market, combined with the growing demand for international investment opportunities from both individual and institutional capital based in Singapore, make this the ideal time to reintroduce the Christie’s International Real Estate brand here,” says Himmat Singh.
