Investment Strategy is a core competency at LaSalle and we back this claim with significant resources and investment. We maintain an extensive investment research department whose dedicated professionals interpret economic, capital market and real estate conditions around the world to guide investment decisions and to identify future opportunities. The team combines global strategic perspectives with local market intelligence, capturing market trends early and allowing us to identify investment opportunities across the risk-return spectrum. This research is published in LaSalle’s industry-renowned Investment Strategy Annual, which helps investors make educated investment decisions.
At LaSalle, we know that true market insight cannot be achieved through research alone. The key lies in translating the strategic conclusions into actions that can be taken to make prudent investment decisions. We call this the “pull-through” benefit.
LaSalle’s on-the-ground presence provides local market knowledge that can only be delivered by professionals actively working in local markets. This knowledge, when married with our proprietary research insights, provides the basis for knowing when, where and how we should both invest and disinvest.
Much of this local knowledge comes from LaSalle’s acquisition officers and portfolio managers who are located in major markets around the world. By devoting a significant amount of time to the development of strong relationships with property owners, developers, brokers and the legal and banking community, we acquire insights that enable us to be especially effective in local markets. This presence is combined with an unparalleled access to Jones Lang LaSalle’s network of over 10,000 real estate employees from a wide array of disciplines, including research, leasing, tenant representation and property management.
Our top-down, bottom-up approach to real estate investment management ensures that investment opportunities are both identified, and acted upon, in a timely manner for our clients.
