JLL marks 25 years in Canada

JLL, a Chicago-headquartered commercial real estate services firm, is celebrating 25 years of operations in Canada.

With Canadian headquarters in Toronto, the firm initially entered the market in 2000 with a Montreal location. JLL today has more than 3,200 employees across 11 Canadian offices delivering $1 billion in projects and managing 134 million square feet in the country.

The firm provides services in leasing, investment sales and acquisitions, value and risk, property management, facilities management, project & development services, workplace strategy, and consulting across various sectors.

“As we reflect on 25 years in Canada, we are filled with immense pride and gratitude," said Alan MacKenzie, CEO of JLL Canada. "Our journey has been defined by the trust of our clients, the dedication of our employees, and our relentless pursuit of operational excellence amid changing market dynamics.”

The firm says it hosts various annual awards for minority groups and partners with charities such as the Breakfast Club of Canada.

"Our partnership with Breakfast Club of Canada, annual award programs, and the recognition we’ve earned for both industry leadership and social impact underscore our dedication to making a positive impact in the communities we serve," MacKenzie said.

JLL was formed in 1999 through the merger of LaSalle Partners with Jones Lang Wootton. The public company has annual revenue of US$23.4 billion and more than 112,000 employees globally.
