JLL Switzerland has acquired Geneva-based real estate consultancy Meridian Immobilier as part of its plan to grow its business in the French-speaking part of the country.
The acquisition involves the transfer of 10 employees, who will continue to be led by Meridian's founding partners, Pierre Stämpfli and Anna Briffod.
'We are delighted to embark on a new phase of our development together with Pierre Stämpfli and Anna Briffod. There is a great cultural and strategic fit between Meridian and JLL,' commented Jan Eckert, JLL Switzerland CEO. 'Bringing our businesses together will bring new opportunities for clients to work with us, as well as underline our strong position in the real estate consultancy market across Switzerland as a whole. We are excited about the growth potential in Switzerland and look forward to continuing to develop our business to meet the needs of an increasingly diverse client base.'
The expansion of JLL’s operations in western Switzerland cements its position in the country, where it now employs around 40 consultants at offices in Zurich and Geneva.
