CREW Charlotte member Ann Erickson with BB+M Architecture was recently awarded the IIDA Carolinas Chapter DesignWorks 2014 Hospitality Award for the Vue Sky Lounge in uptown Charlotte. The project was designed by Ann and constructed by fellow CREW Charlotte member and sponsor Jennifer Yoxtheimer with J.D. Goodrum, General Contractors. The high-end design, quality of the workmanship and attention to detail by all parties helped make the space the award winning venue that it is. Collaborating on this project was a great experience and a true testament to the value of CREW relationships!
Jones Lang LaSalle is now calling itself JLL.
Our name and logo reflect our evolution as a global company. We now serve and work alongside clients in an ever-wider range of markets and cultures.
We made the move to JLL because the name is easy to say, easy to understand, more visible and more memorable. It suits our vision for the future of our business and how we can better serve your needs. And the fact that so many people already refer to us as JLL makes it a natural choice.
Our name may be different, but what remains constant are our core business values-client service, teamwork and the highest ethical standards-and how we put them to work for you.
