As a Fortune 500 company, Jones Lang LaSalle, Inc. (JLL) operates nearly 300 corporate offices in 80 countries and manages a workforce exceeding 86,000. A leader in London’s property market for over 200 years, JLL provides Real Estate advice and services that help clients succeed in one of today’s most sought-after business districts.

The Challenge
Following seismic demographic, economic, and technological shifts across the city of London, JLL and London & Partners realized a modern site planning tool was needed that advertised the advantages of working in this global business center. JLL wanted to provide commercial Real Estate clients determining where to start, relocate, or expand operations with a solution that would process large volumes of data into accurate, precise, and up-to-date insights for clients without GIS expertise and accessible through a centralized application.
