    WHILE GuocoLand might be best known as a developer, chief executive Cheng Hsing Yao harbours ambitions to create a premium real estate brand in Asia as GuocoLand builds up its end-to-end capabilities.

    Cheng, who assumed the role of CEO in July last year, told The Business Times in a recent interview: “To do so, we will continue to build on our end-to-end capabilities to create a multi-platform real estate company. End-to-end means from land acquisition and conceptualisation, to the development and management of our assets.”

    Over the years, GuocoLand has evolved and today, its investment assets account for more than half of its total assets - making them an important contributor to the top and bottom line.
