Property consultancy JLL has appointed Tay Huey Ying (pictured) as its new Head of Research for Singapore, effective immediately.
She will be assisted by a team of analysts and will report to Dr Chua Yang Liang, Head of Research for Southeast Asia, who will be spending more time strengthening the firm’s research and consulting business across emerging Southeast Asian markets.
Tay will also work closely with Ong Teck Hui, National Director, Research & Consultancy, to provide research support to local and regional clients, including the media.
Ong will also act as strategic advisor to the Singapore research team, and will continue to be active on the residential market research front.
The changes come amid JLL’s significant growth in the region over the last few years.
“Huey Ying’s appointment comes at a crucial time as JLL continues to strengthen our research support to meet the growing needs of the businesses across Singapore and Southeast Asia.
“The search for another senior researcher in Singapore has long been on my agenda, and Huey Ying comes as the best candidate for this role, as well as the team,” said Dr Chua.
Tay has over 24 years of real estate experience in Singapore. She previously led the research team at Colliers International before assuming the role of a consultant at the firm, while at the same time serving as an academic at Ngee Ann Polytechnic since 2010.
