SAN FRANCISCO, March 13, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- JLL and Clune Construction Company have agreed to transfer JLL's Northern California Construction practice to Clune Construction, a nationally known general contracting company. This new office, independently owned by Clune Construction, will commence operations and services on April 1, 2014.
"We've seen significant growth in our assignments in Northern California over the last twelve months and it's clear that having an office here will be beneficial to our clientele moving forward," said Bob Dahlstrom, president of Clune Construction's Western Region. "JLL's team has the depth of experience that will enable us to establish a base to serve clients in this market quickly and seamlessly."
Founded in 1979, Clune Construction has long been a valued client of JLL. The company began its national expansion with the opening of the Los Angeles office in 1989, followed by regional offices in New York, Washington, DC and Miami. Nationwide, the company employs more than 250 professionals and manages $500 million in commercial and mission-critical projects annually. The addition of the San Francisco Construction team, headed by PJ Cosgrove, gives Clune a platform from which to continue to build its presence in the region.
"This is a tremendous opportunity for clients in the San Francisco area to continue to receive high quality construction services and for PJ Cosgrove and the construction team to flourish within a highly regarded firm focused on the construction business. We look forward to working with Clune Construction in the future," said Elizabeth Hearle, Northwest Market Director, JLL.
JLL's Northwest region employs 1,200 full time employees and operates major corporate offices in Northern California, Oregon and Washington. The San Francisco office has been named one of the 'Best Places to Work in the Bay Area' by the San Francisco Business Times.
