Us & Our Customers

2014

We have officially branched out from the Thailand office, leading us to autonomously operate in the country as CIM. This has enabled us to gain traction from both local and foreign companies needing for advisory and consultancy services. We have similarly started transacting lease spaces for more MNCs.

In such year, we have published the country’s first ever property market reports for locations such as Myeik and Ngwe Saung. We have similarly improved our township-scale studies, venturing into larger-sized properties and developments of various scales and complexities with sizes ranging from 500 acres to as much as 22,000 acres. The growing interest in the country has also paved the way for our investment services to further thrive with listings varying between commercial, residential, and land across the country.

2018

Successfully launched Project Sales & Marketing service line with Phwint Phyo Thit as our first client. In detail, we have contributed to the visioning, strategic, planning, theming, and selling for each residential and commercial enclave of such project. 

We have successfully closed a major leasing transaction for an FMCG company (2,000 sqm). Given our strong growth in commercial easing segment, Colliers also has been since sought after by most MNSs for residential leasing exercises. Property management services line has further branched out and catered the needs of recreational projects.

2019

Business continues to be prosperous. Property management has further enhanced its capacity in residential and retail projects while the project sales service line ventured selling wholesale development. Markedly, this year CIM also managed to achieve the following milestones: renewed and fortified relations with government institutions and agencies; and having been given the chance to be of great assistance in the business venture of two large conglomerates in Asia—Ayala Corporation and Yoma Strategic Holdings Inc.

To date, CIM remains the only real estate service provider that offers holistic services in the whole of Myanmar. Going forward, our strategy is to remain the leading real estate consultants, providing exemplary transactional, advisory, and management services.

2020 – 2023
The years 2020-2023 have been an incredibly transformative period for CIM. With the polite dilemma of Colliers leading to our rebranding as CIM, we embraced the opportunity to redefine ourselves and carve a unique identity in the market. 
One of the key highlights of this period has been our continuous expansion and reach. Through strategic partnerships and collaborations with regional partners such as Colliers in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Thailand. We have leveraged our expertise and local knowledge to deliver exceptional representation services to our esteemed clients.

Furthermore, we have extended our network and strengthened our presence in key markets. This has enabled us to cater to a diverse range of clients and provide comprehensive real estate solutions tailored to their specific needs.

Our relentless commitment to excellence has propelled us to achieve outstanding results. We take great pride in the total investment value of USD3 Billion that we have successfully amassed through our representation services. This accomplishment is a testament to the trust our clients have placed in us and the dedication of our team.
Amidst the dynamic market conditions, we have witnessed a resurgence in demand, which has further motivated us to excel. In response to this positive trend, we are thrilled to announce the return of our highly anticipated Year-End Conference. This flagship event brings together industry leaders, professionals, and experts to explore emerging trends, share insights, and foster meaningful collaborations. It serves as a platform for us to showcase our industry knowledge and commitment to driving growth and innovation.

2024 – 2025
Market conditions remain dynamic; however, demand has continued to show resilience, supported by CIM’s distinct position as the only foreign real estate consulting firm operating in the market. The return of CIM’s Year-End Conference in 2024 was a notable success, attracting close to 100 attendees. Building on this momentum, the 2025 Conference will be held in collaboration with the American Chamber of Commerce in Myanmar.

Business performance has remained strong across both consultancy and transactional services. On the consultancy front, the team was appointed by an international financial institution to undertake a nationwide valuation covering properties across Myanmar, and also delivered an annual real estate market advisory project for a leading Japanese business group. Meanwhile, the transactional team successfully closed several deals, including an en-bloc lease of approximately 5,000 sq m of commercial office space for a well-known international school in Yangon, as well as the successful relocation of RMA Myanmar to M-Tower.

Looking ahead, CIM remains committed to Myanmar, maintaining a cautious yet optimistic outlook while continuing to build and strengthen long-term client relationships.
