JLL, a leading global commercial real estate and investment management company, has signed a lease for a 120,000 sq. ft. office facility in Hyderabad’s Financial District. The new site, part of JLL Business Services (JBS), will serve as the company’s second major capability center in India after Gurugram, creating over 1,600 highly skilled positions by Q1 2026.
Spanning two floors in the Prestige Sky Tech building, the facility marks a significant evolution from traditional support services to advanced business operations that drive JLL’s global consulting excellence. Once operational, Hyderabad will join JLL’s network of Shared Service Centers across six countries, employing more than 6,000 professionals — with over half based in India.
Commenting on the expansion, Matthew Rees, Chief Shared Service Center Officer, JLL Business Services, said: “We are not simply adding office space – we’re creating opportunities for professionals to contribute to world-class operations that directly influence commercial real estate decisions across global markets.”
The new hub will deliver advanced analytics, technology‑enabled solutions, and strategic advisory services across finance, HR, project development, lease administration, and complex business processes. It will also feature cutting-edge workplace design, including collaborative hybrid spaces, LEED‑certified sustainable elements, wellness amenities, and flexible layouts aligned with JLL’s Workforce Preference Barometer 2025 insights.
Highlighting India’s talent advantage, Dheeraj Popli, Head, Global Service Center, India, JLL Business Services, noted: “Indian professionals now spearhead cutting-edge R&D, AI development, and complex business operations that directly influence global decision-making. Our workforce’s combination of deep technical skills and collaborative cultural values makes India the preferred destination for high-value functions across the real estate industry.”
Hyderabad’s world‑class infrastructure, skilled workforce, and business‑friendly policies make it a strategic choice for JLL. This expansion aligns with India’s growing Global Capability Center (GCC) landscape, which now hosts over 1,950 GCCs employing 1.9 million professionals, positioning the country as a global innovation partner rather than just a cost center.
With this investment, JLL reinforces its commitment to India as a critical component of its global service delivery model, strengthening both its operational excellence and its role in shaping the future of real estate consulting worldwide.
