JLL launched its global Centre of Expertise (CoE) for Technology, Data & Information Management. This state-of-the-art facility is focused on harnessing emerging technologies and developing new solutions for JLL and its clients. As India’s first global centre for property technology (PropTech), CoE will set new standards of innovation for the commercial real estate industry.
Spread over 20,000sqft at Prestige Trade Towers in Bengaluru, CoE will open with 170 highly skilled tech experts working together to provide a single data, engineering and support platform to JLL and its clients globally. It will drive rapid iterative innovation by experimenting with data and technology design, AI, AR, VR and other emerging technologies to help clients make smarter decisions about real estate. CoE will also collaborate with other technology partners to prototype and fast track new solutions and ideas.
The centre features an open, collaborative design, catered to the varied workflows of each employee, including focus pods, collaboration lounges and relaxation spaces. It also integrates smart technology such as Cave Automatic Virtual Environment (CAVE) projections, allowing teams to utilise the immersive VR environment for research, design or analysis. The space has been designed to meet WELL Gold standards for the highest levels of health and safety in a workplace.
The inauguration of CoE is the latest in JLL’s ongoing digital transformation, alongside strategic acquisitions, appointment of Silicon Valley leader Vinay Goel as Chief Digital Product Officer and launching JLL Spark, a global division dedicated to identifying and delivering new technology-driven real estate service offerings.
