Savills has appointed Neil Brookes as Executive Managing Director, Asia Pacific Capital Markets

Global real estate advisory firm Savills has announced the appointment of Neil Brookes as Executive Managing Director, Asia Pacific Capital Markets, to lead its regional capital markets platform. Based in Singapore, Brookes will be responsible for connecting Savills’ capital markets capabilities across Asia Pacific with the Group’s extensive global network.

The appointment comes at a time when institutional investors are increasingly turning to Asia Pacific for its transparency, resilience, and sectoral diversity. With over 20 years of experience advising private wealth clients, sovereign wealth funds, private equity firms, and global institutions, Brookes has personally brokered more than US$15 billion in cross-border transactions.

Anurag Mathur, CEO of Savills India, commented: “Asia Pacific is at an exciting turning point, and India is playing a leading role in this transition. Investors are increasingly looking for opportunities that connect India’s growth story with global capital flows. Savills is amongst the top advisors across key regional markets, and with Neil’s leadership, we’re bringing together these strengths into one connected platform. This will help our clients tap into India’s momentum, access cross-border opportunities, and achieve stronger, long-term value from their investments.”

Neil Brookes, Executive Managing Director, Asia Pacific Capital Markets, added: “I am thrilled to join Savills at this pivotal moment. Savills has the global brand, regional depth, and data-driven capabilities to lead in this space. With a robust existing track record of transacting more than $150 billion for clients over the last five years, I’m excited to harness Savills capability on behalf of clients and help drive the next chapter of growth.”

This appointment marks the latest in a series of strategic leadership moves aimed at strengthening Savills’ regional capital markets platform. It follows recent senior appointments, including Paul Roberts and Ben Schubert in Australia, and Emily Fell to lead Living sectors.

The Asia Pacific Capital Markets team will focus on leveraging data-driven insights from across Savills’ regional network and collaborating closely with the Global Cross Border Investment business to connect international capital with emerging opportunities—particularly in high-growth specialist sectors such as Living, Data Centres, and Capital Advisory.
