Because I represent landlords, the Summit has been an amazing opportunity to network with occupiers and build that developer-occupier relationship for my clients, such as Mr Jiten Uttvani from Wadhwa who is also here from India.

I’ve picked up a lot of new lingo from the CRE industry – new terminologies and trends. For example, there is a lot of talk around productivity, change management, and the relationship between CRE and procurement. These are not necessarily the things that our landlord and developer clients are talking about but it is important for them to understand what is driving occupiers in the region.

I’ll be taking these learnings back to India and promoting them to my colleagues and clients so that they too can benefit from the sharing of knowledge and best practice at the Summit.

I had the privilege to attend our CoreNet dinner last night held at the Mandarin Oriental’s Italian restaurant Dolce Vita. We were welcomed with a thirst quenching mandarin cocktail and stunning views over Singapore’s skyline, a perfect start to a wonderful evening.

The night was a huge success with more than 60 regional and international clients joining Jones Lang LaSalle’s senior directors from Asia Pacific, Europe and America.  There was a real buzz as guests mingled and enjoyed fantastic food served from live food stations set up around the pool.

Of course, the fun was all captured on camera! Below are a few photographs taken on the night; to check out the full photo gallery click here.
