In Singapore CBRE, JLL and Colliers have rotated through a set of project management professionals, while one of the most prominent real estate academics in the city adds a global role to his resume. Meanwhile up on the mainland, a veteran mall manager gets a promotion and a project management professional decides that Lithuania may be more comfortable than Shanghai as we get ready to head into February.
