CHICAGO, Ill.–Jones Lang LaSalle and Pacific Medical Buildings announced the formation of a strategic alliance to deliver ground-up real estate solutions to healthcare organizations. The venture looks to capitalize on the strengths of each organization, combining PMB’s investment capital, track record of developing healthcare facilities and national reputation with JLL’s consulting and development expertise, local execution capabilities and national business development relationships.
JLL and PMB will assist healthcare providers with strategic planning, development planning, and financing solutions for real estate assets and construction projects by building on both companies’ foundation of advising and developing healthcare real estate assets from the user’s perspective.
“Healthcare organizations’ operational and real estate needs are growing in size and complexity. Systems need integrated expansion solutions that provide vital real estate expertise and can bring alternate sources of capital,” said Mark Toothacre, President and CEO of PMB. “Hospitals have a difficult time raising capital needed to invest in new facilities, equipment and technologies that improve service. To ease the conflicts systems face with competing needs for capital, PMB can offer a variety of project ownership models from outright ownership by PMB to ownership with the project’s tenants and our hospital partners. Our proven model for developing and financing facilities affordably, combined with Jones Lang LaSalle’s local service delivery and national operational capabilities and capital markets expertise will form the best standard for outpatient development solutions.”
“Our clients have consistently looked to Jones Lang LaSalle to serve as their single-source for a full spectrum of services. With this alliance, we build upon a foundation of developing real estate assets from the perspective of the healthcare organization and its unique requirements, combining national best practices, local execution, flexibility, and creativity,” said Shawn Janus, Managing Director and head of development for Jones Lang LaSalle’s National Healthcare group. “The combined forces of the PMB/JLL team are uniquely positioned to offer development expertise, execution capabilities and a capital solution to healthcare systems.”
