CEO Today Business Women of the Year Awards

69 www.ceotodaymagazine.com CEO Today Business Women of the Year Awards 2018 SINGAPORE JESS LIM Executive Director of LHN Group FIRM PROFILE With a history dating back to 1991, we are a real estate management services group with the distinguishing ability to generate value for our landlords and tenants through our expertise in space optimisation. We also provide complete facilities management and logistics services, which serve to complement our space optimisation business. We focus on creating productive environments for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) & born-global companies. Taking old, unused and under-utilised industrial, commercial and residential properties, we enhance and transform them into thoughtfully designed and highly usable space. In addition, our vast experience at managing a diverse range of properties has shaped us to be well-versed in the art of applying our space optimisation expertise to any space. As such, spaces leased out by us are carefully planned and developed to maximise value for tenants. We currently manage 33 industrial, commercial and residential properties in Singapore, Indonesia and Myanmar with a total net lettable area (NLA) of over 3.807 million square feet. In 2012, we noted that there was a rising demand of readily furnished commercial spaces that the tenants may move in and start work immediately. In response to such demand, we launched our GreenHub brand of suited offices to provide suited offices to SMEs in Singapore. Currently, we manage four GreenHub suited offices in Singapore and in 2014, as part of our strategic plan to expand our business in Southeast Asia, we began to provide our GreenHub brand of suited offices in Jakarta, Indonesia. In the same year, we also incorporated GH Yangon with the strategic intent to expand such services into Myanmar. With our operating experience in Jakarta, we believe the business environment calls for a co-working space or a co-working and co-living space to capture the opportunities especially with higher mobility of business operators particularly for entrepreneurs and younger generation.
