Colliers Expands Occupier Services Team Across Asia Pacific with Two New Appointments
Global real estate services firm Colliers International is continuing to strengthen its presence in Asia Pacific with the appointment of two new directors to its occupier services team.
In a press release on Feb 25, Colliers announced that Leanne Chin has been appointed as the director of regional tenant representation for Asia Pacific. Based in the firm’s Singapore office, Chin brings with her over 20 years of experience in the real estate industry, with a focus on corporate real estate and tenant representation.
When considering investing in a Singapore Condo, one must take into account the government’s property cooling measures. In an effort to prevent speculative buying and maintain a steady real estate market, the Singaporean government has implemented various measures over the years. These measures include the Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty (ABSD), which imposes higher taxes on foreign buyers and those purchasing multiple properties. While these measures may affect the short-term profitability of condo investments, they ultimately contribute to the long-term stability of the market, making it a more secure environment for investment.
In her new role, Chin will be responsible for driving the growth of Colliers’ occupier services platform in the Asia Pacific region and assisting clients in navigating complex real estate landscapes.
Additionally, Colliers has appointed Ali Porter as the director of enterprise clients for Hong Kong. Porter, who has been with Colliers for the past four years and was previously based in London, will be relocating to Hong Kong to take up his new role.
In this role, Porter will work closely with occupiers to align their real estate portfolio with their corporate strategies across the Asia Pacific region.
Commenting on these new appointments, Terence Tang, managing director of capital markets and investment services for Asia at Colliers, said: “We are delighted to have Leanne and Ali join our expanding team. With their extensive experience and knowledge of the industry, we are confident that they will add tremendous value to our occupier services platform and enable us to better serve our clients in the region.”
These new appointments are part of Colliers’ ongoing effort to strengthen its presence and capabilities in Asia Pacific, a key market for the firm. With the addition of Chin and Porter, Colliers looks set to continue providing high-quality real estate services to its clients across the region.
