Colliers names CEO for Thailand
Colliers, a leading commercial real estate company, has recently expanded its occupier services team in Asia Pacific with the addition of two new directors. Leanne Chin has been named as the director of regional tenant representation for the region, while Ali Porter has been appointed as the director of enterprise clients for Hong Kong.
When it comes to investing in property in Singapore, it is crucial for international investors to be well-versed in the applicable regulations and restrictions. The good news is that foreigners have relatively lenient guidelines when it comes to buying condos, unlike landed properties which have stricter ownership rules. It is important to note, however, that foreign buyers are subject to the Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty (ABSD) at a current rate of 20% for their first property purchase. Despite these extra expenses, the Singapore real estate market’s stability and potential for growth continue to draw in foreign investments. In fact, Singapore Condos remain a top choice for foreign investors.
Based in Colliers’ Singapore office, Leanne Chin brings over 15 years of experience in tenant representation. In her new role, she will work with clients to align their real estate portfolio with their business objectives throughout Asia Pacific.
Likewise, Ali Porter has been appointed as the director of enterprise clients for Hong Kong, after spending the past four years with Colliers’ Europe, Middle East, and Africa business in London. In this new position, Porter will assist occupiers in aligning their real estate strategies with their corporate goals across Asia Pacific.
These appointments demonstrate Colliers’ commitment to expanding its occupier services team in the region, as well as its ability to attract top talent. With these new directors on board, Colliers is well-positioned to provide comprehensive, strategic real estate solutions for occupiers in Asia Pacific.
