Rodyk's Corporate Real Estate & REITS Practice is one of the leading practices in Singapore.

We represent major real estate developers, corporations and institutional investors in a diverse range of real estate sales and acquisition transactions. We advise our clients in the negotiation and documentation of all aspects of sale, acquisition, development, operation and leasing of real property in Singapore.
