JLL Philadelphia Headquarters

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Center City Philadelphia's first LEED Platinum corporate fit-out designed for collaboration and flexibility

Three big ideas:

Collaborative,
Transparent,
Work Neighborhoods

As real estate experts, JLL knew the value of bringing an architect on board early and Re:Vision evaluated multiple locations for criteria such as space efficiency, quality of light, and potential energy efficiency. Working together, Re:Vision identified a site and a design that could meet JLL’s needs in 30% less space. On a 10+ year lease plus annual operations, this choice alone represents big (!) savings. The selected location is a 10,000 sf space that houses 40 employees using a flexible design that anticipates future expansion. It is organized around dynamic workplace “neighborhoods” that include structured and informal meeting spaces to facilitate collaboration in a variety of forms. This fast-tracked, LEED-Platinum project went from site selection to occupancy in seven months.

Entering from the common corridor, the reception is marked by a custom reception desk and round LED fixture.

Beyond the collaboration space are phone rooms for private working.

“When we were selecting a team, we knew we wanted a firm that was a leader in sustainable design but we also wanted someone who would challenge us and push us out of our comfort zone. Since the project has been complete, we have received overwhelmingly positive feedback from employees and visitors alike. The Philadelphia office embodies what Jones Lang LaSalle stands for as a company, and it’s a workspace we can be proud of. Everyone loves the culture of collaboration we’re fostering with our new space, especially our clients, and it’s become a great marketing tool. ”

– Olivia Freeland, Former JLL Project Manager

The main conference room is transparent and inviting as opposed to being private and tucked away.

Entering from the common corridor, the reception is marked by a custom reception desk and round LED fixture.

The main circulation axis, affectionately dubbed "The Parkway", separates enclosed functions on the core side of the space with workplace "neighborhoods" on the window side.

The main conference room is transparent and inviting as opposed to being private and tucked away.

The conference room overlooks Philadelphia's City Hall and custom artwork places this space among global JLL locations.

Workplace "neighborhoods: are small clusters of open workstations separated by collaboration rooms.

Both enclosed and open collaboration spaces are distributed throughout the office for easy access by all staff.

Beyond the collaboration space are phone rooms for private working.

JLL's signature red color was incorporated in to the furniture as well as in the thread pattern of the carpet tile.

The existing office space was stripped down to its structure - the concrete was stripped of decades of glue and flooring, ground and polished and the steel beams were fireproofed and painted.
