Inside JLL’s Technology Investment Strategy

It’s safe to say that technology is rapidly changing the condition of real estate management. JLL, one of the most prominent players in commercial real estate, has been heavily focused on their technology strategy, by investing in proptech companies through their global venture fund, JLL Spark, building technology products internally or acquiring companies. Over the past year alone, JLL’s technology division– JLL Technologies (JLLT)– has evaluated over 50 companies to add to their roster. The most recent among the flurry of purchases that made the cut is Building Engines. This Boston-based property management software company provides a “comprehensive, easy-to-use system that unites all the technology and applications used to run buildings in one place,” according to a statement.
