Travel to any city in China undergoing redevelopment and you will probably hear incessant drilling. But if this din of construction machinery gets too much, it may be soothing to think of it as the sound of money being made.
Property development projects generally mirror a vibrant economy, and this has been the case in Hong Kong, over the past three years, along with Macau and the mainland.
Such projects need to be marketed and connected with buyers and that is where integrated property and investment management companies such as Jones Lang LaSalle come in.
The company is fast expanding its services to customers and increasing its staff with around 30 to 40 corporate positions, mainly in junior to middle management, expected to become available this year.
The vacancies span many of its services including investment sales, office letting, valuation advisory and property management. Around eight of the roles will be based in Macau or the mainland.
Jones Lang LaSalle's corporate customers no longer simply require assistance with a straightforward sales or leasing transaction. And customers across the board are seeking a one-stop-shop service that includes a range of investment advice, property management and real estate solutions.
