Maximising asset performance and investor returns through active management.
From Grade A office towers to institutional-grade acquisitions, KFAM's track record demonstrates how strategic asset management translates directly into improved occupancy, financial performance and long-term portfolio value.
Asset management: Occupancy from 75% to 92%
Knight Frank Asset Management was appointed by Bahagia Investment Corporation (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd to manage Menara Darussalam, a Grade A office building with approximately 173,000 sq ft of NLA. Through a comprehensive lease review, restructured leasing commissions, proactive agent engagement and improved financial reporting, KFAM successfully increased the building's occupancy rate from 75% to 92%, while also achieving OPEX savings through strategic vendor management.
Asset management: Grade A Office, ~596,000 sq ft
KFAM was appointed by KWAP to manage Menara AIA Cap Square, a Grade A office building with approximately 596,000 sq ft of NLA. KFAM's engagement covered enhanced financial management (including e-invoice implementation and improved reporting accuracy), proactive operational oversight (including MDS certification, consultant management and cost control), and green certification support — renewing both GBI and LEED certifications to protect and enhance the building's market positioning and value.
