Razer CEO Drops a New Reality on the Real Estate Scene
Meet Echo Base – The AI‑Powered Home for Smart Buildings
Rumor has it that the same mastermind behind Razer’s high‑end gaming gear is now on a quest to revolutionize the 9‑to‑5 world. Echo Base, a launchpad for AI, IoT and next‑gen tech, is set to turn the traditional real‑estate industry on its head.
Who’s Backing This High‑Tech Hustle?
- Boustead Projects Limited – a Singapore Exchange mainboard player with a solid track record.
- Moor House Capital – the investment arm that’s largely owned by Razer’s co‑founder, Tan Min‑Liang.
Ground‑Breaking: A Ceremonial Shake‑Up
The big splash happened on Feb 22, when Razer officially broke ground on its new South‑East Asian HQ in the bustling hub of one‑north.
Attendees of note included:
- Finance Minister Heng Swee Keat
- Singapore Economic Development Board chair Beh Swan Gin
- JTC Corporation chief Ng Lang
What Echo Base Will Do (In Plain English)
After months of stealth mode shenanigans, Echo Base is ready to build, invest in, and manage smart buildings and integrated developments across the Asia‑Pacific and key global gateway cities.
Leading the charge on finance is Bryan Lim, a seasoned real‑estate investment banker with 16+ years at Goldman Sachs and Credit Suisse. Lim’s take? “Traditional real estate is ripe for disruption. We’re here to bring the future to the present.”

- The very Razer South‑East Asian HQ – a 19,300 sq m behemoth featuring offices, R&D labs, and design studios, plus a comfy home for over 1,000 employees.
- Early‑bird smart‑city development slated for the next few years – a direct 1‑on‑1 with Echo Base’s tech dreams.
Why It Matters (And Why It’s Fun)
Think about it: a gaming company’s brains venturing into buildings that can think on their own. It’s the same spirit of pushing limits, only now the playground is blocks and skylines instead of pixels and avatars.
So, keep an eye on Echo Base. It’s about to supercharge our cityscapes—and possibly make coffee in smart kitchens for us all.
