To whom it may concern,
I am excited to apply for the Leasing Manager position at CapitaLand. With over seven years of leasing and asset-management experience across Singapore's retail and office sectors, I am passionate about driving occupancy, optimising tenant mix, and delivering exceptional experiences that align with CapitaLand's commitment to sustainable, community-focused developments.
In my current role as Senior Leasing Executive at a regional real estate investment manager, I manage a portfolio of five properties totaling 120,000 sqm. I led leasing strategies that increased portfolio occupancy from 88% to 96% within 18 months and reduced average time-to-lease by 30% through targeted outreach and streamlined approval workflows. I have negotiated over 60 leases and renewals, delivering annualised net rental income growth of 12% while maintaining strong tenant relationships. I routinely use Yardi and MRI for lease administration, build financial models in Excel to forecast rental performance, and collaborate with marketing and property operations teams to implement tenant activation programs that raised footfall by 22% year-over-year. I have also worked closely with CBRE and JLL on market benchmarking and used URA and BCA data to inform leasing decisions.
What draws me to CapitaLand is your emphasis on placemaking and sustainable value creation across integrated developments. I share your vision of creating vibrant, future-ready spaces that balance commercial performance with community impact. My experience designing tenant mixes that combine experiential retail, F&B, and service tenants can help enhance dwell time and retail yield at your assets. I am particularly keen to contribute to CapitaLand's ESG and placemaking initiatives by introducing green tenancy incentives and community-focused leasing programs that support long-term asset resilience.
I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my leasing expertise, strong negotiation skills, and data-driven approach can support your portfolio objectives. Thank you for considering my application. I am enthusiastic about the possibility of contributing to CapitaLand's continued success and am available at your convenience for an interview.
Sincerely,
Rachel Tan
