Jones Lang LaSalle’s origins

Our parent company, Jones Lang LaSalle traces its origins to 1783, when auctioneer Richard Winstanley set up shop in London. Twenty-three years later, his son James succeeded him, running the business that would eventually become known as Jones Lang Wooton & Sons (JLW). Following the Second World War, JLW began expanding internationally, opening offices in Asia, Australia and across Europe. In 1975, JLW opened its first North American office in New York City.

Becoming a globally recognized investment manager

As JLW continued to grow, LaSalle Partners was doing the same, moving from humble beginnings as a small real estate firm in Texas to become a globally recognized real estate investment manager. In 1999, the two firms would join forces to become Jones Lang LaSalle. The company would be named to the Fortune 500 in 2015 as gross revenue surpassed US$5.4 billion.
