During Jones Lang LaSalle’s second-quarter 2026 earnings call, Christian Ulbrich said the company was seeing new record rents for office space in nearly every major city, even in weak economic environments, while simultaneously observing vacant buildings nearby. He attributed this to a bifurcation between the most successful companies, which are bringing employees into the best available spaces, and other properties that have lost tenants. Ulbrich also reported that the company ended the quarter with 340 data centers under its facilities management portfolio. He noted that, due to already-signed contracts for very large data centers, the firm expects the total gigawatt capacity under management to grow by a third within the next two quarters, describing this as ongoing recurring revenue. In response to a question about unbundling, he said JLL was not seeing that trend in the market, citing healthy growth in its facilities management business.
