Following the success of Cityscape Dubai, the region’s premier international property investment and development event, the Institute for International Research (IIR), the organiser of Cityscape, is launching two new Cityscape brands in Singapore and Shanghai to capitalise on the major growth potential of South East Asia and China.

“Cityscape Dubai has enjoyed phenomenal success over the last four years and our strategy is to export the brand globally. Singapore and Shanghai are the gateways to two of the largest investment and development markets in the world and logical destinations to launch Cityscape Asia and Cityscape China respectively,” says Franck Dailles, international director of Cityscape.
Cityscape Asia is to be held at the Suntec Singapore International Convention and Exhibition Centre in Singapore from April 10 to 12, 2007. The three-day event will highlight regional investment opportunities, iconic architecture and best practice to global investors through a world-class conference and up to 6,000 sq m of exhibition space.
“Singapore also has the financial muscle to make it an attractive portal for investors looking for access to the region. With a structured, stable and transparent financial environment combined with local and regional expertise, it is estimated that there is in excess of $16 billion in available capital,” says an IIR spokesman.
“Investors will have access to a market consisting of 2.8 billion consumers, with 291 major projects either on the drawing board or under way throughout a region that includes Singapore, Malaysia, India, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Japan and the Asia Pacific Rim,” he adds.
Shanghai is the chosen destination for ‘Cityscape China’ with a projected launch date of May 24 to 26, 2007 at the Shanghai International Exhibition Centre. It will follow the same format as Singapore with similar investor and exhibitor profiles, about 6,000 sq m of exhibition space and an international conference featuring leading industry experts from around the world. However, the main difference will be the pace and sheer size of the Chinese market.
