SINGAPORE - Australian telecommunications giant Telstra has appointed JLL to manage its growing Asia Pacific property portfolio comprising 260,000 square feet across eight countries.

JLL's Asia Pacific CEO for Corporate Solutions, Jordi Martin, says, "I am excited by the opportunity to build on JLL's strong relationship with Telstra in Australia to provide a real estate outsourcing solution that supports its growing footprint across the Asia Pacific region.
"Our global platform, and 20 years of experience providing corporate real estate services in Asia Pacific, means we are well positioned to meet the needs of companies based in this region as they expand internationally. We look forward to supporting Telstra's growth plans over the next five years," adds Mr Martin.
Telstra Property, Executive Director, John Romano said, "We're delighted to continue and build on the strong relationship we have enjoyed with JLL over the past five years.
