I’m heading JLL’s team which has been appointed as Property and Facilities Managers for Macquarie Group who have been developing the new Sydney Metro Martin Place integrated station precinct. The precinct includes the new Martin Place metro station, a retail and dining destination, underground pedestrian connections and two landmark buildings: the 39-storey 1 Elizabeth, and the 28-storey 39 Martin Place.

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

I lead JLL’s property management team as we prepared to take over responsibility for HSBC’s newly constructed office tower at the TRX Precinct in Kuala Lumpur. Comprising 7 basement levels and 33 office levels, the new tower incorporated some of Malaysia’s most sophisticated engineering systems to meet HSBC’s global engineering standards for global bank licensing and sustainability requirements. Our arrangements were greatly complicated due to COVID restrictions on construction activities and recruitment challenges, however with the support of our client and JLL’s regional support network we were able to be ready when Practical Completion was achieved in March 2021. We initiated comprehensive COVID management processes to maximise work time for the 4 seperate fitout projects and the extensive defect rectification activities. Following a staged occupation JLL’s property management team worked with HSBC’s local C suite and the regional CRE group to develop asset management and client service strategies that attracted global attention.
