CBRE has announced the new appointment of Tom Moffat as Executive Managing Director, Head of Capital Markets, Asia.

He will assume the newly created role effective July 1 and will remain based in Hong Kong. Tom will report directly to Rob Blain, Executive Chairman, Asia Pacific, CBRE and will join the Global Capital Markets management team upon assuming his new role.

In his expanded position, Tom will have oversight of all the country level Capital Markets teams in Asia, reflecting the rapid growth of the region’s commercial real estate investment market. He will continue to lead the Asia Capital Markets Executive Committee, assuming overall responsibility for the strategic direction of the business. In addition to his management responsibilities, he will also retain a strong client focus, leveraging his deep understanding of cross-border capital flows from a regional and individual market perspective.

To his new position, Tom brings over 15 years of capital markets experience focusing on investment transactions within Asia Pacific’s commercial real estate space. Across his career, he has built strong and lasting relationships with investors from varying sources of capital and has established himself as one of the leading investment brokers in the Asia region.

Rob Blain told WILLIAMS MEDIA, “As our Capital Markets business continues to develop significantly across the region, we will continue to interact with new and diverse client groups and to invest in our platform and people."

"To help facilitate the next phase of growth in our Asia Capital Markets business, Tom is the natural choice to lead this evolving business in this maturing region,” he said. 

Tom previously served as Executive Director, Capital Markets, Asia. Prior to moving to Hong Kong in early 2016, Tom spent close to 10 years with CBRE specializing in the Japan market, based in the firm’s Tokyo office. In this role, his primary focus was advising international investors on Japanese transactions.
