A Brief History.
In 1987 Koll was formed initially as a real estate company operating exclusively in the Thai commercial and residential sales and letting sectors. The company soon became involved with project and construction management, most notably at Nichada Park, with multinational clients such as Citibank. We were also responsible for the construction of service stations for Caltex and factories for 3M.
In 1997 Koll formed a joint venture with Amata, one of the biggest third party real estate companies in America and became Koll Amata. Consequently, by adapting international best practices for the management of industrial, commercial and residential property, Koll was now in a position to offer a comprehensive range of real estate services to both local and international clients. It was at this point that Koll became involved in property management winning prestige contracts with Polo Park and Chidlom Place. The name Amata was dropped and replaced by Thailand in order to reinforce our national identity.
2003 saw an important strategic partnership established with Alpha Management Services located in HCMC, Vietnam. Alpha has a similar range of services, but specializes in tenant representation, relocating corporate clients with a unique savings based fee structure. Alpha clients include Nike, Colgate, Ericsson and Diageo. The group is now able to provide outsourced real estate solutions throughout South East Asia.
Koll’s other core business is procurement services for local and multinational companies. Utilizing our local market knowledge and experience in South East Asia we are able to obtain significant savings on a range of products from paper clips to leased vehicles. |
