Knight World Realty, Bricksmania Asset Management ink MOU to bridge property listings gap

PETALING JAYA (April 27): Knight World Realty (M) Sdn Bhd and Bricksmania Asset Management Sdn Bhd have formalised a strategic partnership through the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU), aimed at combining their complementary strengths to unlock new opportunities in Malaysia's property investment market.

According to a statement, the MOU was signed on April 16, 2026, at Copper Mansion, Sungai Long, by Knight World founder and managing director Scott Tan and Bricksmania managing director Dennis Teoh and director Kelvin Low, in the presence of senior management representatives from both organisations.

Bridging a market gap

At the heart of the collaboration is a clear market logic. Knight World, founded by Tan in 2009, has grown into a dynamic real estate agency with a diversified portfolio spanning industrial, commercial, residential, and land transactions across the market spectrum — from high-end properties to entry-level and mid-market segments.

The company's mission, as articulated by Tan, is to build Knight World into "the most formidable brand in real estate that has its roots in Malaysia".

Bricksmania, meanwhile, had built a growing investor base and asset management capabilities — but faced a shortage of quality property listings to match its clients with. 

Recognising this gap, both parties identified a natural synergy: Knight World's curated, high-quality listings network was well-positioned to feed Bricksmania's pipeline.

A decade-long relationship

The partnership is underpinned by a long-standing personal and professional relationship between Tan and Bricksmania's Teoh, who comes from the banking sector and had previously served as an SME banker for many of Tan's clients over the years. 

That decades-long working relationship, built on mutual trust and an understanding of each other's industries, laid the groundwork for the formalised collaboration.

Bricksmania was co-founded by Teoh, Low, and strategic director Eric Lee, each bringing distinct expertise — banking and client advisory, risk management, and hands-on real estate investment strategy respectively, with Lee specialising in shoplot and commercial property deal structuring.

What the MOU covers

The partnership formalises a commitment to establish structured, long-term procurement collaboration, drive bilateral cooperation, and expand into commercial real estate investment — identified by both parties as a key strategic growth direction. 

Together, they aim to enhance portfolio management strategies, improve investment efficiency, and create sustainable value across multiple property segments for their shared client base.

Knight World also has a partnership with EdgeProp for the sharing of data.
