JLL has launched its new office at DLF Cyber Park, Gurugram. This is by far, the firm’s largest office in India hosting over 23 teams and over 300 employees. This is also the brand’s newest office in the Asia Pacific region designed by its in-house team built on the four cornerstones of sustainability, technology, employee wellness, and hybrid working.
One of the key insights from global real estate trends is to build workplaces that can deliver an excellent experience for employees and create an environment that fosters better performance. JLL’s new office does just that – it is designed to create an agile and collaborative workplace, integrating the concept of co-working to create an energetic and dynamic work environment. Its people-centric and flexible approach encourages collaboration and interaction as employees return to work.
Radha Dhir, CEO & country head, India, JLL, said, “While there is continued debate around the future of office, we at JLL believe that there is significant value in having a physical space. It fosters a deeper connection within the workforce and beyond. New generation hybrid workspaces and purpose-built environments are the need of the hour. This along with the physical manifestation of company values drives employee engagement and promotes brand loyalty.”

JLL’s new office is another step towards achieving the firm’s sustainability goals, aiming for LEED and Wellness Gold rating.
