About us
Our Story
LEAP Global Group brings together decades of institutional real estate investment expertise to serve sophisticated investors worldwide.
Founded by Mr. Ivan Ho and Mr. Thaili Chi - veterans of Partners Group, Tishman Speyer, Deutsche Bank, and CalPERS - LEAP Global was built on a principle: institutional investors and family offices deserve a partner that combines global reach with true local expertise.
With over US$2 billion in transactions executed throughout their careers and deep relationships across Greater China, Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the Americas, our founding partners established an independent platform that delivers institutional-grade investment opportunities with the agility and alignment that larger organizations cannot provide.
Today, LEAP Global manages over US$1.5 billion in assets across 10+ active projects in seven strategic markets, serving institutional investors, family offices, and professional investors who demand excellence, transparency, and results.
