PRSEA | Oct 21, 2011 | Comments 0Japan based design firm GARDE recently
organized an Asian research tour for its
Japanese clients to visit new developments,
exchange ideas with regional developers andinvestigate investment opportunities in the South

Garde representatives recently visited Bangkok
The company has a 26-year track record and has
worked for major clients around the world,including global brands such as Tiffany and Burberry on the retail side, as well as Candeo Hotels and the Park
Tower Gransky in Japan.
As part of this year’s research tour, the company organised a seminar and networking function in Bangkok on
October 18 at the Thailand Creative and Design Centre. The keynote speaker at the event was Khun Longlom
Bunnag, Chairman of Jones Lang LaSalle Thailand and a panel discussion also took place, moderated bytelevision presenter Dale Lawrence and featuring leading industry professionals from major developers such as
PACE Development Thailand and Tokyo Tatemono Co Ltd,.
At a press conference before the seminar, Mr. Katsuyuki Kitano, Executive Director, International Business
Development at GARDE said that Thailand’s long established relationship with the Japanese manufacturingindustry, combined with its increasingly influential position in South East Asia presents strong potential forinternational developers and business partners. He specifically mentioned mixed use developments as anopportunity in and around Bangkok and hinted at a possible joint venture project to be announced at a laterdate.
“The tragic flooding in Thailand is obviously having an immediate impact in Thailand, but developers are always
looking long term,” said Mr Kitano, ” We have already spent 8 months re-building the Japanese market after theearthquake, and I am sure Thailand has the skills and resources to do the same. Japanese businesses want tohelp with the process in every way we can.”In the commercial sector, Japan’s fascination with Thai culture is matched by a love for all things Nippon inBangkok. With developers now actively looking for Thai partners to develop new projects in the Bangkok’s
main urban areas, the GARDE seminar provided a valuable platform for leading figures in both countries’
property sectors to come together and discuss opportunities.
