Strategic Real Estate Optimization

Industrial land in Singapore is a scarce, high-value asset. We provide comprehensive feasibility studies to help property owners unlock trapped value within their existing footprints. Our advisory breaks down your options into three distinct, data-driven pathways:

• Strategic Redevelopment: Maximizing unutilized Gross Plot Ratio (GPR) through structural reconstruction, aligning your asset with modern high-specification manufacturing or logistics standards.

• Deep Retrofitting: Upgrading aging building systems (M&E, HVAC, electrical sub-stations) to achieve certification and comply with mandatory mandates.

• Cosmetic Asset Enhancement Initiatives (AEI): Targeted structural and aesthetic enhancements designed to immediately improve building efficiency, attract premium tenants, and drive higher rental yields without complete redevelopment.

Capital Optimization & Balance Sheet Restructuring

For asset-heavy industrialists, real estate capital can often be better deployed back into core business operations, R&D, or equipment procurement. AFM structures compliant Industrial Sale and Leaseback agreements that allow corporate owners to sell their physical real estate assets while seamlessly retaining operational occupancy.

• Asset Liquidation with Zero Operational Disruption: Convert illiquid physical real estate into immediate working capital while maintaining full, uninterrupted tenancy of your manufacturing facility.

• JTC Compliance Management: Sale and leaseback mechanisms involving JTC land are heavily regulated. AFM manages the entire regulatory application, ensuring the transaction aligns with prevailing investment, assignment, and subletting frameworks.

Bridging Capital Markets & Industrial Users

AFM acts as the strategic intermediary between institutional capital and industrial end-users. We assist potential end-users looking to acquire premium industrial assets by structuring customized lease-back agreements backed by major real estate fund managers and Third-Party Facility Providers (3PFP).

• For End-Users: Acquire bespoke, built-to-suit, or existing corporate facilities with minimized upfront capital expenditure by leveraging institutional funding.

• For Fund Managers: We source high-credit, JTC-compliant anchor tenants who meet strict Value-Added (VA) and Remuneration Per Worker (RPW) benchmarks, de-risking your real estate fund portfolio.

Cross-Border Entry & Siting Strategy

Locating a production or manufacturing facility in a foreign jurisdiction presents severe regulatory and operational hurdles. AFM provides a turnkey Inbound Siting Advisory for overseas manufacturers looking to establish a footprint in Singapore.

• SSIC & Siting Feasibility: We analyze your manufacturing processes against Singapore Standard Industrial Classification (SSIC) codes to identify permissible industrial zones, handling complex National Environment Agency (NEA) and Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) clearances.

• End-to-End JTC Applications: From initial economic justification to drafting the comprehensive business plans required for land allocation or factory rentals, we guide multinational corporations through the entire inbound onboarding cycle.

Capital Sourcing & Advisory for Large-Scale Developments

Navigating capital requirements for large-scale industrial infrastructure projects requires deep institutional connections and strict compliance modeling. AFM provides strategic advice and structured funding solutions for major construction and industrial development projects valued above $50 million SGD in Singapore.
