When Selecting a New Property to Develop, Ta Global Ceo Joo Kim Tiah Values Research and Prudence. But Sometimes, the Right Property Comes Along Because of Perfect Timing.
Since The CEO Magazine last spoke to TA Global Berhad’s CEO, Joo Kim Tiah, just over a year ago, it has been a somewhat challenging real estate environment – partly due to a large supply of properties – but he remains unfazed. “We’re fortunate enough that our projects were located and purchased with great foresight,” Joo Kim says, adding that the company’s land costs are at a good price and are in great locations. “That’s our advantage. At the end of the day, people are still going to look at the location.”
Joo Kim was appointed to the CEO seat of the major Malaysian-based property developer at just 36, overseeing the company’s stunning portfolio, including the Radisson Blu Plaza in Sydney and the Mövenpick Resort and Spa in Karon Beach, Phuket. He also spearheaded the development of Canada’s Trump International Hotel and Tower in Vancouver, a challenging project acclaimed as one of Forbes’ most luxurious hotels of 2018.
