JLL Forms Alliance with Advisory, Restructuring, Liquidation Firm

Chicago-based JLL formed a strategic alliance with Boston-based Gordon Brothers to elevate both firm’s services for retailers and their investors. The alliance will support all retailers, growing or challenged, with the most comprehensive set of real estate, inventory, brand, and customer migration solutions.

JLL’s Naveen Jaggi (pictured) says, “We are excited to bring to our clients the broad array of services offered by Gordon Brothers. Gordon Brother’s appraisal, valuation and disposition services are a great complement to JLL. Gordon Brothers is the leading expert in this area, having provided more financial guarantees to retailers than any of their competitors. Through our alliance with Gordon Brothers, we gain the ability to deploy capital to support retailers throughout their lifecycle.”

The combined services include: portfolio reviews; lease mitigation, termination, and restructurings; property management; fee-owned property sales; valuations; asset dispositions; brand licensing and conversions; customer migration; financing; location scouting; site analytics; retail research; and PinPoint mobile data technology and predictive analytics platforms.
