DUBAI — Demand for property management professionals within the regional real estate sector will rise in 2009, according to Macdonald & Company. In a Press statement issued on Wednesday, the company said many developers are now nearing completion of their projects and are looking for specific skills-sets to help them manage their completed buildings.
Specialised departments such as facilities, asset and property management are likely to be either expanded or created as the focus of the market changes from delivery to management. Office agency and leasing teams will be more in demand as the market becomes more competitive with more products available.
