The markets may be slowing down in Hong Kong and mainland China but developers and real estate service providers in the region must still be confident in the long-term picture, as they continue to reward their top performers with new roles. Leading off this week’s look at who gets a new name card, a veteran manager of Shanghai commercial projects is taking on his biggest role yet in the area surrounding Xintiandi, while a number of brokers and consultants from JLL and Colliers were rewarded with promotions this month. All the details await you below.

Clemence Lee has been promoted to Senior Director with JLL’s Singapore Capital Markets team. Lee, who specialises in advising clients on transactions involving the city’s historic shophouses, in addition to the usual en bloc commercial buildings and strata floors, takes his step up with the property consultancy after just over one year as an Associate Director.
