Our portfolio
RUMAH PROPERTY
Our property portfolio predominantly comprises real estate investments in Singapore, Australia and New Zealand. We consider projects of different cycles, from short term investments through to horizons spanning several decades. This includes commercial, retail and residential assets, as well as townships in growing urban areas. As a leading shareholder of Certified B Corp, Sedar Properties, we believe in adding value to communities and are committed to good design, quality builds and continuous learning. We have prioritised decarbonising our portfolio - encompassing both operational and embodied carbon - and adopting new solutions.

Family values
Beyond what we do, how we do it is just as important to us. We care about having integrity and sustainability, which are the foundation of our approach; providing quality in the projects that we deliver, regardless of commerciality; having a strong learning culture in every project that we embark on; and bringing passion to our work, no matter where we are.
