Graeme Torre, Former APG Asia-Pacific Real Estate Chief, Takes Strategic Role at Hongkong Land
Experienced Asia real estate leader Graeme Torre moves from APG to Hongkong Land as the company expands its institutional real estate platform
Graeme Torre, who has led the Asia-Pacific real estate business for Dutch pension investor APG Asset Management since 2017, is leaving the firm to join Hongkong Land in a senior real estate leadership capacity, industry sources confirm.
Torre’s departure from APG marks the end of an eight-year tenure in which he expanded the firm’s regional property investment footprint into new sectors and markets.
At Hongkong Land, Torre will lend his strategic expertise to the developer’s growing institutional capital and fund management initiatives, bolstering its drive to cement a leading position in Asia’s commercial real estate landscape.
At APG, Torre built and guided the Asia-Pacific real estate team across core and alternative investments, including data centres, real estate debt, multifamily residential, self-storage and life sciences.
His leadership coincided with APG’s strengthened institutional presence in the region, working with notable partners and investors across multiple asset classes.
In succession planning, Türkiye-based Brian Hung succeeded him as APG’s Head of Asia-Pacific real estate in November 2025, reinforcing continuity for the firm’s long-term strategies and partnerships across key Asian markets.
Hung brings nearly two decades of market experience and deep experience within APG’s regional team.
Hongkong Land, a major developer and strategic investor in Asian gateway cities, has been accelerating its pivot into institutional real estate fund management.
The firm recently launched the Singapore Central Private Real Estate Fund, an open-ended core investment platform with an initial assets under management of S$8.2 billion, anchored by global institutional investors including APG and the Qatar Investment Authority.
This fund initiative underlines Hongkong Land’s broader ambition to expand its fee-based asset management business and attract third-party capital for long-term value creation.
Torre’s move to Hongkong Land aligns with this strategic shift, as the company seeks to leverage his deep insights into regional capital markets, long-term investor relationships and track record of navigating Asia’s dynamic real estate environment.
At his new role, Torre is expected to influence Hongkong Land’s institutional engagement and contribute to the continued growth and diversification of its commercial real estate offerings in Singapore and beyond.
The transition comes as Singapore’s commercial property sector remains robust, supported by strong occupier demand and the strategic positioning of flagship assets within the city-state’s central business district.
Hongkong Land’s expansion of its capital management platform aims to meet rising institutional demand for core real estate exposure in stable, gateway markets.
Torre’s appointment is seen as a key milestone in Hongkong Land’s evolution from a traditional property developer into a leading manager of institutional real estate capital across Asia Pacific.
It also reflects the broader momentum in the region for institutional investors seeking long-term, resilient property assets within diversified global portfolios.
