Cipriani of JLL leads team in completing interior fit-out for Spencer Stuart

Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) has completed an interior fit-out for Spencer Stuart's new offices at Two Stamford Plaza. The executive search firm hired JLL in March 2009 to serve as project manager for the build-out of 22,987 s/f of class A office space at the property. The new offices for Spencer Stuart at Two Stamford Plaza were designed to house approximately 55 employees, with 27 private offices and 28 workstations. The executive search firm's space includes reception areas, a board room with movable walls, video conference rooms, a production room, as well as a café, pantry and office support areas. The JLL project team was led by Lisa Cipriani, project manager, with the firm's project and development services group. She oversaw the day-to-day operations of the project and supervised the work completed by subcontractors. Turner Construction served as construction manager, WB Engineers & Consultants provided engineering services and Gensler was the project architect. "Jones Lang LaSalle obtained the space from the building owner completely empty and fully gutted," said Cipriani. "We worked with Spencer Stuart to design and build a cutting-edge office environment and then assisted the executive search firm with furnishing the space. Jones Lang LaSalle is putting the finishing touches on its new offices, including selecting and hanging artwork throughout the premises." JLL began design and planning work on Spencer Stuart's new offices in March 2009, starting with bare walls as the space was delivered fully gutted. The company's PDS group oversaw the relocation of the executive search firm's staff to Two Stamford Plaza in late January. Spencer Stuart relocated to the property from 695 East Main St., which is located just one block away from its new premises. JLL is assisting the executive search firm with LEED certification of its new offices.
