CBRE has appointed Tom Gaffney as Regional Managing Director for The Greater Bay Area and Hong Kong with immediate effect. In this newly created role, Gaffney oversees all CBRE’s business activities in the newly-formed economic hub.

Gaffney joined CBRE in 2016 as the Managing Director for CBRE Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.

The establishment of CBRE’s new business geography reflects the firm’s goals to enhance its market leadership in the fast-growing area.

The Greater Bay Area, comprised of Hong Kong, Macau, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Foshan, Zhongshan, Dongguan, Huizhou, Jiangmen and Zhaoqing, represents the growth of a connected economic powerhouse and offers vast business opportunities.

CBRE currently runs three corporate offices in the region: Hong Kong, Guangzhou and Shenzhen with numerous site offices across the other cities in the region.

Ben Duncan, CEO, Greater China, CBRE, said, “Tom has been a tremendous leader who has grown our businesses across all metrics. The new role speaks to his capabilities and our firm’s commitment to deepen our roots in the Greater Bay Area. It is already the world’s the largest bay area in terms of land area and population and presents unprecedented potential for our clients and for CBRE.”

Gaffney has more than a decade of experience in the real estate industry. Prior to joining CBRE, Gaffney was at JLL as Head of Retail, Hong Kong and China. Before JLL, he worked for Hongkong Land in Commercial and Retail Asset Management in Hong Kong, Singapore and Thailand.

Tom Gaffney, Regional Managing Director, The Greater Bay Area & Hong Kong, CBRE, said, “I am honoured to have been given this responsibility to drive the firm’s growth in the Greater Bay Area. These are exciting times for the region and the firm, and we are confident that our team will effectively leverage on the opportunities opened to us from the Southern China economic powerhouse.”
