JLL (NYSE: JLL) has agreed to acquire Raise Commercial Real Estate, a tech-powered brokerage that provides client services using a digital real estate platform.
This acquisition gives JLL and its clients access to Raise’s leasing technology, while enhancing JLL’s platform. Founded in San Francisco in 2016, Raise was the first brokerage to create a digital real estate management platform and has grown to have offices across the United States. This technology will supplement JLL’s existing leasing technology, such as Blackbird, to continue helping brokers advise clients to make business decisions.
