Hong Kong, June 3, 2025 – ELIM, a leading real estate investment and asset management firm, is excited to announce the appointment of Dirk Chan as Senior Vice President, Capital Markets, with a focus on the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. This strategic hire aligns with ELIM’s goal of expanding its trusted partnerships in APAC, following the opening of its Hong Kong office earlier this year. Amid market volatility, ELIM is experiencing significant growth driven by increasing demand for real estate investment and consulting, as investors recognize real estate’s value as a diversification option. Dirk’s role will support the growing interest from family offices, HNW individuals, and institutional investors for diversified U.S. real estate opportunities in private equity and other innovative, tax-efficient investment structures, offering exposure to hard assets.
Dirk Chan brings over 15 years of expertise in financial services and real estate, with a proven track record of leading high-performing sales teams and building strong client relationships across Greater China. His strategic vision and business development acumen will drive ELIM’s efforts to connect APAC investors with tailored, tax-efficient investment solutions, working alongside key team members to meet the sophisticated needs of investors seeking sustainable wealth creation.
“We are thrilled to welcome Dirk to ELIM as a trusted partner in our mission to deliver exceptional value,” said Harvey Li, Chief Executive Officer of ELIM. “His extensive experience in capital markets and deep regional expertise will play a pivotal role in advancing our vision of connecting APAC investors with high-quality U.S. real estate opportunities, particularly in multifamily, student housing, and build-to-rent communities. Dirk’s appointment, alongside our existing key team members, marks a significant step in our global expansion, building on the momentum of our Hong Kong office opening and the growing demand for real estate as a diversification option amid market volatility.”
As Senior Vice President, Capital Markets, Dirk will lead initiatives to connect APAC investors with ELIM’s curated portfolio of U.S. real estate, focusing on private equity investments and innovative structures designed to optimize portfolio diversification and long-term value creation amid market instability. Collaborating closely with ELIM’s established team, his efforts will further the firm’s disciplined approach to delivering sustainable, tax-efficient investment solutions.
“Dirk’s addition strengthens our ability to serve as trusted partners to our clients,” said Stanley Kung, Managing Partner of ELIM. “His proven ability to forge strategic partnerships and navigate complex markets aligns seamlessly with our goal of expanding our footprint in APAC. Working alongside our key team members, we look forward to leveraging his expertise to deliver unparalleled opportunities in U.S. real estate, especially as investors seek stable, diversified assets in these volatile times.”
Dirk holds a Bachelor of Business from Federation University Australia, providing a strong foundation for his successful career in capital markets. His client-centric approach and strategic insights will enhance ELIM’s position as a leading partner for investors seeking exposure to hard assets in the U.S. real estate market.
