Chris
Marriott, Chief Executive Officer of Savills Southeast Asia and Board
Director of the Indonesian operations, said: “I am delighted to be
opening our latest office in Asia Pacific, in Jakarta. This follows
closely on our recent opening in Myanmar and further office openings in
China and Taiwan, and is a testament to our commitment to continued
growth in Asia.
The opening also marks the formalisation of
our partnership with Property Connection Indonesia (“PCI”), a real
estate business with a well-established position in the local market and
a strong reputation for retail consultancy and leasing services”.
Jeremy
Helsby, Group Chief Executive for Savills plc, commented: “This is
another addition to our existing strong Asian network and is in line
with our strategy to develop a long term presence in markets where we
see growth potential and an opportunity to provide international
advisory services to local clients”.
The new office in Jakarta

member of the Board of Commissioners.
PCI is the leading retail
advisory and leasing agency and the team brings with them considerable
experience and an extensive knowledge of the Indonesian property
markets. Jeffrey Hong, Rosaline Lie and Juliana Manua and their team at
PCI have leased over 16 million sq ft of retail malls, with a track
record which includes renowned upcoming projects such as St. Moritz Mall
(Jakarta), Lippo Mall Yogya (Jogjakarta), SMM Manado and SMM Makassar
(Sulawesi) and Central Park (Bali).
Rosaline Lie, Director of
PCI, added: “We are delighted to be partnering with Savills who we have
identified as the best fit for our business in the Asia-Pacific region
and look forward to expanding our own service delivery into the
commercial, office and residential markets providing leasing, sales and
investment advisory services”.

Pacific Cgief Executive Officer, concluded: “The Savills network of 500
associates and offices worldwide will benefit from the local knowledge
