The regional hub will focus on lean project management solutions, sustainability consulting, technical due diligence, specialising in sustainable innovation.

Stephan Degenhart, Associate Partner, Drees & Sommer and Managing Director Asia Pacific, says: “With our newly opened office in Singapore, we are enhancing our existing presence in Asia. We are excited to come closer to our customers in the region, drawing on our global success record, we bring a winning combination of German-quality and local expertise to deliver future-shaping solutions.”

The newly launched hub brings together specialists cutting across various disciplines from the industry as a single interdisciplinary unit. They bring expertise on client advisory services from early feasibility studies all the way to operation and revitalisation of buildings to maximise a comfortable user experience, energy efficiency, sustainability, return on investment, and overall value of assets. The local presence will enable international clients to identify specific gaps, adapt existing solutions or/and develop new ones tailored to the local market and environment.

Before venturing into Asia Pacific, Stephan Degenhart has been driving key topics in the Middle East for almost 20 years. He explained: “We are operating in an already fast-paced and changing environment, with the ongoing pandemic, the requirement for flexible design, adaptable partnerships and innovative solutions all under one sustainable umbrella has never been greater. Having a local presence is imperative to cater to this need.”
