Industry-wide lower market volumes and elongated deal cycles across the globe contributed to the 5% decline in Capital Markets

"During the latter half of the quarter, the commercial real estate industry experienced a more rapid slowdown in Capital Markets volumes than was expected three months ago," said Christian Ulbrich, JLL CEO. "In the current environment, the time to close deals has elongated and bid-ask spreads have widened. At the same time, Work Dynamics, one of our more resilient segments, continued to show strength with double-digit fee revenue growth. We see significant opportunity to leverage JLL’s global platform and industry expertise to serve clients during a more challenging macro-economic period."
