Workplace reimagined for investment leader

The client, a global investment firm, had outgrown its workspace and needed a new office to accommodate its ever-growing business needs while aligning with modern workplace trends. The objective was to create an environment that is sustainable, offers diverse work setups, and includes both functional and recreational areas—all within a set budget and timeline. As a previous client of JLL, they sought our expertise once again.

Our Project & Development Services team took a holistic approach by offering a comprehensive solution that included project management, cost management, interior design, and MEP services. Commencing with strategic design space planning to optimise the office square footage, the team focused on creating a human-centric design that balanced functionality with innovation, ensuring every element contributed to a future-proof office.

The design maximises natural light from two directions, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere. It offers a variety of work environments, all fitted out with natural materials. The space includes ergonomic workstations, private offices, and various collaboration areas such as phone booths, huddle spaces, and meeting rooms. To enhance employee well-being and productivity, the office also features recreational spaces like a game room and a well-equipped pantry. Practical amenities such as coffee stations, storage areas, print rooms, and IT facilities are strategically placed throughout the office for convenience and efficiency.

“… JLL team showed commitment, dependability and proactiveness in all stages of the project’s life cycle. The project management team exhibited a deep understanding of the project across all disciplines, and meticulously reported, tracked and mitigated all project risks. They consistently informed the project’s stakeholders, both within and beyond our business, of upcoming milestones to ensure the project stays on track. The team was especially supportive in resolving issues when they occurred, and ensured that the business, authorities, contractor and designers were well coordinated at all times.

The cost management team was dedicated to ensuring that the project was delivered within budget. They challenged fees on our behalf and supported our business in making informed decisions in relation to cost. The team ensured that all changes were tracked against the budget and flagged any cost-related concerns in advance.

Collectively, the JLL team’s support ultimately led to the successful and seamless delivery of our new offices to the highest level of quality, on programme and within budget.” - the client’s Head of Global Real Estate.
