The company also provides investment management services worldwide, including services to institutional and retail investors, and to high-net-worth individuals,[2] as well as technology products through JLL Technologies, and VC investments via its PropTech fund, JLL Spark. The company is ranked 193 on the Fortune 500.[3]

History

After LaSalle Partners' initial public offering (IPO) in 1997,[4] in 1999, it merged with Jones Lang Wootton to form Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) as part of a $435 million deal.[5][6][7] Jones Lang Wootton was a London auctioneer that originated in the 1700s.[6] By 1976, Jones Lang Wootton had expanded into the United States real estate market in New York City.[8] The company had 4,000 employees in 33 countries around the time of the merger with LaSalle Partners.[9]

William Sanders founded the real estate company International Development Corp in 1966 in El Paso, Texas.[10][11] Sanders renamed the company LaSalle Partners in 1968 and relocated to Chicago, Illinois.[10] The company first offered investment banking, investment management, and land services.[12] By 1997, LaSalle had grown into three business divisions, Management Services, Corporate and Financial Services, and Investment Management, with ten U.S. corporate offices and seven international offices.[12]

JLL purchased The Staubach Company in 2008.[13] Roger Staubach served as executive chairman of JLL from 2008 until he retired in 2018.[14] JLL merged with UK-based King Sturge in a £197 million deal in 2011.[15] The combined business, with 2,700 employees and 43 offices, created the largest property agent in the UK, as reported by The Telegraph in 2011.[15] The company acquired Irish-based Guardian Property Asset Management in 2015.[16] LaSalle Investment Management, a subsidiary of JLL, managed $58 billion in real estate investments for institutional and retail clients, as of 2016.[6] JLL had acquired 80 companies and established 100 offices worldwide by 2016.[13]

The company expanded from commercial real estate services to include property technology, or "proptech", with the 2017 launch of its JLL Spark division.[17] In June 2018, JLL Spark created a $100 million venture fund to invest in real estate start-ups, such as a technology to link office users with co-working spaces.[18]

JLL announced the acquisition of HFF in a deal worth $2 billion in March 2019.[19] The acquisition was completed in July 2019 and worth $1.8 billion.[20]

In 2021, the company's technology division sold Stessa, the single-family rental asset management software company it acquired in 2018, to Roofstock as part of a deal in which JLL acquired a minority stake in Roofstock and it would provide services to JLL's clients.[21][22]

JLL manages the London offices of the social media company Facebook. In July 2021, JLL sought the removal of a cleaner from the offices when, in his capacity as a trade union representative, he organised a protest against a doubling of the cleaners' workloads.[23]

In August 2021, JLL announced the acquisition of Skyline Al which is an AI platform that provides a comprehensive analysis of commercial real estate properties.[24]

In late 2021 and early 2022, JLL made two "proptech" acquisitions.[25] In November 2021, it purchased the property management software company Building Engines,[26] and in February 2022 it acquired Hank, a company developing AI-based technology to improve the energy efficiency of buildings.[25]

In June 2023, JLL launched Carbon Pathfinder, a software tool it had developed for companies to identify the carbon emissions from their buildings and ways to reduce those emissions.[27]

The company developed a large language model (LLM) tool called JLL GPT for its employees, and launched it in August 2023. It was the first such model to be launched by a major real estate services company.[28] The generative AI model is being trained on JLL's data as of 2023 and was developed to be able to answer questions about commercial real estate.[29]

In 2024, the company announced a partnership with IBM, using IBM's technology to develop a platform that tracks sustainability data for JLL's clients' commercial properties.[30] According to the company, the platform is intended to collect data and provide reporting on JLL's clients' environmental sustainability goals, including decarbonization.[31]

In 2024,JLL also acquired two technology companies to expand its services. The firm acquired data center services company SKAE Power Solutions in May 2024,[32] forming a technical services division called SKAE, a JLL company.[33] They also acquired Raise Commercial Real Estate, a firm that had developed a technology platform for companies to manage their real estate holdings.[34]

Operations

JLL is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, and as of October 2018 was the second-largest, by total transactions, public brokerage firm in the world ($162.12 billion).[14][12] The company has more than 106,000 employees in 80 countries, as of December 2023.[1]: 2 

Services include investment management, asset management, sales and leasing, property management, project management, development, and property technology.[35][6] In 2014, the organization shortened its name to JLL for marketing purposes, while the legal name remained Jones Lang LaSalle Incorporated.[36][37]

Former company president Christian Ulbrich succeeded Colin Dyer as CEO in October 2016.[13] Karen Brennan was named CFO on June 22, 2020 effective July 15, 2020.[38][39] Sheila Penrose served as board chairwoman starting in 2005,[40][41] and was replaced by Siddharth ("Bobby") Mehta in 2020.[42]

In 2022, JLL founded the JLL Foundation, a non-profit organization focused on climate change and sustainability. The foundation provides zero-interest loans to startup companies that provide or are developing sustainable products or technologies, for example recycling plastic waste into construction products.[43]
