“The expansion of JLL’s Project and Development Services in San Diego and throughout the Southwest has been a priority of the firm the past several months as the region’s commercial real estate landscape has continued to evolve through development, redevelopment and expansion of industries including life science, lab, industrial and multifamily, to name a few,” added Peter Belisle in the release, Market Director for JLL’s Southwest Region. “From this point on, our clients will be able to tap a more robust platform of project and development services.
