Company History

Castlewood International Dubai – 2006

Business: Bespoke real estate investment solutions for established large scale real estate developers.

Castlewood provides a product and a service which is very rare in most markets and was new to Dubai and the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E).  Castlewood researched, found and acquired plots of land in desirable locations.  Along with a team of architects, designers and marketing personnel Castlewood had project design concepts and marketing programs prepared for the land.

This product and service allowed large scale real estate developers a rare opportunity to buy a planned development in its entirety by-passing the very laborious acquisition and planning processes.  This service fast tracked developers sales and marketing efforts into the then booming global appetite for Dubai & United Arab Emirates (U.A.E) Real Estate.

Successful project concept:

The Saha (NOTIONAL) No. 1 Jumeirah Lakes (NOTIONAL)
Sold 179 Units valued at US$90m Sold 340 Units valued at US$160m.

 

 

Castlewood Investment Properties Singapore – 2008

Business: International Real Estate Sales & Marketing.

Castlewood Investment Properties was formed in January 2008 as a division of Castlewood International.  Our business model is to utilize Singapore as a global hub for our real estate development sales and marketing function.  Since most of our real estate marketing was web based and most of our real estate sales were made and processed over the telephone by account managers it made a good business sense to base this function here in Singapore.

Very quickly we refurbished our suite of offices in Shenton Way and started to recruit.  This would eventually see us with English, Chinese, Indian, Bahasa, Spanish & Russian sales and marketing personnel.   Towards the end of 2009 we had successfully navigated through a global financial meltdown focusing on seemingly wealthy unaffected markets such as Russia and other members of the former Soviet Union. We also marketed in China, Nigeria and the Middle East.
