McDonald's has renewed its strategic partnership with Jones Lang LaSalle for transaction- and project-management services for 25 leased regional offices throughout the United States as well as facility and project management on 831,000 square feet of space within five buildings throughout Chicago's western suburbs.
"McDonald's has been a valued client of ours for nearly a dozen years," said Ted Glimp, managing director of Jones Lang LaSalle's Corporate Solutions Group, in a news release. "In that time, we have successfully partnered with McDonald's to optimize the value of its office holdings, establish a more effective environment for its office workers, and extend its leadership position in environmental sustainability."
Since July of 1997, Jones Lang LaSalle has provided facility management and project management services to McDonald's 88-acre Oak Brook campus, which includes its U.S. headquarters, world headquarters and Hamburger University; its audio/video production facility in Elk Grove Village; and the McDonald's museum, its premier restaurant, in Des Plaines. Today, Jones Lang LaSalle represents McDonald's in more than 1.2 million square feet of leased or owned properties throughout the United States.
