About Us
The story begins in 1935 when a company in Malaysia was incorporated into what is now known as Cathay Organisation. Helmed by Dato Loke Wan Tho (son of Loke Yew) and Mrs Loke Cheng Kim (wife of Loke Yew), the business grew quickly into a well-regarded name across the region, most notably for cinema theatres and movie production. Since then, the family’s business interests have expanded globally into real estate, hospitality and asset management. In 2017, we made the decision to divest our interests in the entertainment industry and focus on growing and managing our real estate portfolio as well as our Family Office holdings (Yew Capital).
Now helmed by 3rd generation family members, Cathay Organisation owns and manages a global real estate portfolio including retail, office and residential assets across Singapore, Japan, the UK, Malaysia and Sri Lanka.
Our diversified assets have lent us resilience across market cycles, and we continue to seek growth through stabilised income-producing real estate assets and active management of our investment portfolio.
