Since joining CBRE in 2019 and 2020, respectively, Zhen Junmin and Zhou Zhenbang have been leading the Hong Kong capital markets team, serving as heads of Hong Kong's capital markets department and heads of capital markets, investment properties and private offices, respectively.

Zhen Junmin will continue to lead the Hong Kong Capital Markets Department and Capital Advisors (Capital Advisors), focusing on expanding the business coverage of different asset classes, strengthening the company's layout in the luxury housing market, deepening customer relationships, and seizing emerging development opportunities in the market.

Greg Hyland, Head of Capital Markets at CBRE Asia Pacific, said, “The Asian market has huge potential for growth, and Mr. Zhou has various advantages to seize these opportunities. In addition to leading our real estate acquisition and sale business, he also played a key role in expanding our capital advisory platform. “His outstanding track record, deep regional market network, and ability to connect with cross-border capital will help us create greater value for family offices, private equity funds, high-net-worth individuals and institutional investors, and further strengthen our platform advantage in the Asian market.”

He added, “We sincerely congratulate Mr. Zhen Junmin for his continued outstanding performance over the years. “He has shown the attributes a good investment professional should have, not only to have many achievements as a top broker, but also to be an outstanding leader who can lead the team, serve clients, and drive the company's development.”

Margaret Fung, Chief Operating Officer of CBRE Hong Kong Consultancy Services, said: “This promotion fully recognizes the significant contributions of the two over the years to the company, their outstanding leadership skills, and their growing influence at the regional and local levels. Their resilience in different market cycles and their professionalism for excellence will help us continue to grow in an increasingly AI-driven market environment. We are confident they will continue to reinforce the company's market leadership and create greater value for customers, employees and the company's business.”
