Asia Real Estate People in the News 2020-09-07

2020/09/07 by Michael Cole Leave a Comment

New namecards are being given out in two of Asia’s primary financial hubs early this month as a set of veteran property professionals take on new roles, or decide to take some time off.

Yardi Proptech Report

The Singapore government’s primary city planning consultancy has made a top level change this month, while the Lion City also sees top level changes in its brokerage community. Hong Kong also has its share of people moves, as JLL picks up a capital markets director from Knight Frank and a mainland private equity firm finds a new director of fund raising.

teo eng cheongSurbana Jurong international CEO Teo Eng Cheong has resigned as head of the Singapore urban development consultancy’s regional division, according to statements by the Temasek Holdings-controlled firm this past week. Teo, who joined Surbana Jurong to lead its regional operations on 1 January 2016, is said to be leaving to pursue other interests. The career Singapore government official is married to the city-state’s Manpower Minister Josephine Teo and had earlier served as head of International Enterprise Singapore from 2011 to 2015.

tang chee charnSavills Singapore has appointed Tang Chee Charn as an executive director with its property management team, with the former Colliers International team member starting his new duties as of 1 September. Savills said in a statement that the appointment is part of its mission to grow the firm’s property management services in Singapore, with Tang having formerly headed the same business line for Colliers in the city.

clement hoClement Ho has signed up with JLL in Hong Kong, where he joined this month as director with the capital markets team. Ho’s work will focus on investment transactions in the city and he starts the new role after more than two years with Knight Frank’s valuation and advisory team for Greater China, where he was also based in Hong Kong. This month’s appointment is a return engagement for the University of Hong Kong graduate, who had earlier spent six years with JLL’s valuations team.

Deschamps also spent more than four years with Savills in Shanghai, in addition to earlier experience with Colliers and JLL in the city.

Zhou takes on her new responsibilities this month after more than six years with fund management industry non-profit group EPRA, where she served most recently as a director. The University of Toronto graduate also has previous experience with Citibank.
