API Global secure and package market leading property investment solutions for our global partners and end clients looking for exposure to one the most stable, secure, and popular asset classes in the world - UK Real Estate. API Global was founded by market professional, Michael Leighton who has over 20 years’ experience in structuring, marketing, and distributing real estate products both in the UK and overseas. As a fully accredited MRICS (Member Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) professional, Michael has held senior roles with major corporate real estate companies such as CB Richard Ellis (UK & Dubai) and DTZ (Hong Kong). As the residential asset class in the UK is unregulated, Michael took this opportunity to take a sidestep from commercial property, and establish API Global, focussing on residential investment, with a professional approach and a regulated mindset. API Global manages an in-house global distribution platform for product providers and real estate developers, acting as a conduit to access hard-to-reach international markets. Since our Inception in 2013, API has grown from a single office in Dubai, to a truly global operation, comprising 6 strategically located offices, with over 30 in-house staff. With sales surpassing £1B, our growth journey has been rapid and exciting, resulting in strong relationships being established with some of the best developers in the market.

We had a great evening in India last week with deVere Group 🇮🇳

Accompanied by Jeff Chan from LKF, the developer behind Sudara Residences in Phuket, with our Regional Account Director Elliott hosting the evening.

It was a great opportunity to bring investors closer to the developer, discuss the investment case for Sudara, and explore what’s happening across the Thailand property market.

When capital crosses borders, local property markets become part of a much bigger investment landscape

$310 billion in cross-border property investment in 2025, and the direction of those flows is shifting faster than most portfolio strategies can keep up with.

GCC sovereign wealth funds now account for 18% of cross-border real estate investment, up from 10% five years ago. Oil revenues and national diversification agendas are accelerating deployment into European trophy assets, US tech corridors, and increasingly into Southeast Asian growth markets.

London remains the top European destination for international capital. Sterling weakness, down roughly 15% against the dollar since 2021, has made UK assets materially cheaper for dollar-denominated buyers. Regional UK cities like Manchester and Birmingham are drawing selective capital alongside prime London.

Sector rotation continues to reshape allocation. Residential and logistics together now capture over half of institutional cross-border flows, while traditional office has fallen from 28% pre-pandemic to under 20%. Last-mile logistics commands premium pricing, and build-to-rent developments are attracting pension fund capital globally.

For investors building international property portfolios, the implication is straightforward: geographic and sector diversification is no longer a preference, it is becoming a structural requirement.

At API Global, we operate across the UK, UAE, and Southeast Asia, supporting investors through the full process, from opportunity sourcing and due diligence to asset management and portfolio optimisation, across the markets and sectors where cross-border capital is concentrating.

STOP THINKING ABOUT PROPERTY AS JUST “YIELD VS GROWTH”.

The better question might be:
How can you structure a portfolio to account for both?

Different markets and developments can offer different combinations of rental income and capital growth potential.

Our Portfolio Optimisation approach considers both, helping investors look beyond a single property and towards how their investments work together as a portfolio.
Because sometimes the strongest strategy isn't choosing yield OR growth.
It’s understanding where each fits.

What would you prioritise today — YIELD or GROWTH? 👇

It was fantastic to welcome guests for an evening focused on Sudara Residences, Phuket.

We were joined by Jeff Chan from LKF Group, who shared the investment case behind Sudara, insights into the Phuket market and the vision behind the development.

From the location and market opportunity to the investment fundamentals, it was a great opportunity to hear directly from the developer and have meaningful conversations with those considering Thailand as part of their international property strategy.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and to the LKF team for making the evening a success.
