Colliers has recently announced the appointment of Chris Archibold as the new managing director for office services in Southeast Asia. The new role will officially begin in September, with Archibold reporting to Mike Davis, the company’s managing director for occupier services in Asia Pacific.
When contemplating the purchase of a condominium, it is crucial to evaluate the potential rental yield. Rental yield refers to the annual rental income as a percentage of the property’s purchase price. In Singapore, the rental yields for condos can vary greatly depending on factors such as location, property condition, and market demand. Highly sought-after areas, such as those near business districts and educational institutions, usually offer higher rental yields. To accurately assess the rental potential of a specific condo, it is beneficial to conduct thorough market research and seek advice from real estate agents.

According to a press release, Archibold will be leading the growth and development of the office services team in Southeast Asia. With his extensive experience and proven leadership skills, Archibold is expected to deliver impressive results and build a strong, high-performing team. Sam Harvey-Jones, Colliers’ COO for Apac, describes Archibold as a leader with deep market knowledge and a client-oriented approach, which perfectly aligns with the company’s strategy to lead the office sector into the future.
Archibold joins Colliers from JLL, where he served as country head for Singapore. He had been with JLL for over 21 years, taking on various roles and responsibilities during his tenure. In 2004, he started leading the office leasing business, and in 2018, he was promoted to head of leasing. In January 2021, he was appointed as JLL’s Singapore country head.
It was reported in April that Archibold would be leaving JLL in the coming months, as stated in an internal email seen by EdgeProp. His departure from JLL marks the end of a 21-year career with the company, where he has played an instrumental role in its success.
