IFCX, a Hong Kong-based real estate brokerage holding company, has secured a strategic investment from Black Spade Capital, positioning the firm to drive over US$5 billion in cross-border real estate investments from Asia into Vietnam, Thailand, and the Middle East over the next five years.
The partnership will fuel IFCX’s expansion across emerging and mature markets, with a dual focus on real estate and technology innovation.
The investment will enhance the company’s integrated platform—including consumer-facing Asia Bankers Club, B2B channel Knightsbridge Partners, and Easy Pro, a property aftersales platform—strengthening its reach and services across global markets.
IFCX also plans to ramp up its proptech AI capabilities, developing intelligent platforms for digital transactions, predictive market analytics, and investor engagement tools. These enhancements are expected to transform how institutional and retail investors engage with international property assets.
Founded in 2014, IFCX has built deep relationships with developers in key markets such as Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, the UK, and now the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Oman, and the UAE.
“The Middle East and Southeast Asia represent the convergence of stability and opportunity,” said Kingston Lai, Founder and CEO of IFCX. “With Black Spade’s backing, we’re not just scaling—we’re reimagining global real estate investment.”
The deal gives IFCX access to Black Spade’s international investor networks and deep expertise in hospitality, capital markets, and entertainment, enabling the creation of what both firms describe as a new benchmark for cross-border real estate investment.
