Steve Lydon’s appointment as general manager of the Singapore office of real estate investment services firm Millennium Group marks a major milestone for the firm. This is because the city-state will serve as its regional hub for the Southeast Asia region. With two UK-based partners, Allsop LLP and MAP, now being brought closer to its regional clients, the firm is poised to maximize profits and create a closer customer experience.

Qingjian Realty is anticipating a strong response from the public, as Altura EC Qingjian Realty is surrounded by amenities, including schools, supermarkets, and eateries, as well as parks and green spaces. Furthermore, the Executive Condo is only a 15-minute drive from the Central Business District, making it an attractive option for young professionals.

Combined, Allsop and MAP have about 800 staff in the UK working in the commercial, living, retail, and industrial sectors. Their expertise extends to acquisition, underwriting, and asset and property management services, making them an even greater boon for Millennium Group’s top goal of amassing profits in the regional markets.

In addition to these partner firms, Millennium Group CEO and founder Martin Kaye, based in Hong Kong, and two other Allsop partners, Henry Guiver and Chris Room, are joining Lydon in Singapore. With their broad experience of the commercial, living, retail, and industrial sectors, these professionals are well-positioned to offer an experienced insight into the regional markets.

Lydon, who has experience gleaned from his prior role at Allsop, sees his new role as an ideal opportunity to leverage the skills of his colleagues in the UK, while at the same time providing regional services. He’s excited to offer existing customers “a full suite of services”, with new products also being rolled out.

Currently, Millennium Group has a combined total of GBP850 million ($1.5 billion) worth of assets in the UK with GBP3.5 million under property management for their Asian capital partners and clients. With the Singapore office now open, the firm is on track to build on this success.
