JLL will manage key customer relationships across the private property company’s portfolio, covering 13 assets, in excess of 1m sq ft, with holdings spanning the West End, Mid-Town and the City of London. 

Supporting the company’s long-term strategy of creating high-quality, sustainable office locations, JLL will be responsible for the mobilisation and future management of the largest project under construction, the 450,000 sq ft office and retail development at 20-22 Ropemaker St in the City of London. Due for completion in summer 2023, the 25-storey building is 70% pre-let to Linklaters as their global headquarters.  

JLL’s remit will also cover 7 Millbank, another major development in construction. Due to commence in summer 2022, and complete in Q1 2026, the project is OPLM’s first carbon neutral-in-use development in London, part of the company’s long-term vision to develop projects with placemaking, quality design, and exemplary sustainability standards as pre-requisites. Once complete, the portfolio will increase to 1.5 million sq ft.  

David Gardiner, Head of Property Management at OPLM, said:

“Upon concluding a rigorous selection process, it was clear that JLL’s track record in London of successfully mobilising landmark office developments and providing innovative solutions for complex buildings was a differentiator and thus would be key in helping us to achieve our long-term strategy. They offered a team of experts who we felt would best complement OPLM by working in close partnership with us to help manage our key customer relationships, evolve our vision for a responsible, sustainable, and smart portfolio and unlock operational efficiencies across our portfolio for generations to come.

We would like to express our thanks to Cushman & Wakefield who have for many years provided us with property management service on some of the assets”

Andrew Child, Client Relationship Director - Property & Asset Management at JLL, added:

“We are delighted to be entering into a partnership with Old Park Lane Management and are looking forward to creating a market leading offer, driven by collaboration and customer service. Sustainability is at the core of what we do and through delivering a full package of Property Management services, this will allow us to unlock the portfolio’s full potential.”
