Consortium proposing ESR privatisation names senior adviser

Brett Robson will lead the implementation of strategic priorities and value-creation initiatives.

The consortium moving to privatise ESR Group Limited has named Brett Robson as senior adviser to the proposal, with immediate effectivity.

In his role, Robson will guide the consortium – led by Starwood Capital Group, Sixth Street, and SSW Partners – during the pre-closing and post-closing periods of the proposed privatisation and oversee execution of its strategic priorities and value creation initiatives.

Robson served as global head of Macquarie Asset Management (MAM) Real Estate. He joined Macquarie in 2003 and took on several leadership roles, including head of its Global Real Estate investment banking business, and chair of the MAM Real Estate Investment and Management Committees.

Before Macquarie, he spent over 11 years at Lend Lease, where he held senior roles covering real estate funds, asset and development management.

The consortium, which also includes QIA, Warburg Pincus, and the Founders of the Company, announced the proposal to privatise ESR by way of scheme of arrangement from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in December 2024.

The Proposal is subject to shareholder approval, court sanction, and other pre-conditions and conditions outlined in the 3.5 Announcement.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
