High Returns - Ben Duncan (2)
How CBRE has thrived on the "white hot" real estate market in Tokyo
Ben Duncan, CB Richard Ellis’ 35 year old Representative Director has the look of a man in the right place at the right time, but this wasn’t always the case. When Ben first came to Asia he was stationed in Hong Kong in 1996, at which his friends quipped that he wouldn’t have much trouble finding a seat on the plane given that most foreign real estate executives were sprinting home before the impending ‘Handover.’ As a relatively new graduate however, Duncan was finding the London rat-race less than stimulating and had his eyes set on more exotic climes. Frankly armed with his certification as a Member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, he headed to Asia and quickly rose up the ranks. Hong Kong provided him with the opportunity to cut his teeth on some substantial deals and get experienced with the major players in the Asia’s real estate markets.
