JLL’s lineage dates to 1783, when it began as Jones Lang Wooten; the modern company was formed through its 1999 merger with LaSalle Partners International. Its global headquarters are in Chicago, and its shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker JLL.

JLL provides commercial real estate services across workplace and facilities management, project and property management, leasing, capital markets, valuation, consulting and technology. It works with occupiers, investors, developers, owners and public-sector clients across property types including offices, industrial assets, hotels, multifamily housing, retail and data centers.

Its distinctive strength is breadth: JLL combines transaction and advisory work with large-scale operational delivery. Through LaSalle Investment Management, it also manages institutional real estate investments, giving students potential exposure to both real estate services and investment management.
