ãChallenged by explosive growth, we teamed with Jones Lang LaSalle to create and implement a corporate real estate portfolio strategy that addresses immediate and long-term occupancy needs while serving Capital One's broader business objectives. The strategy links real estate solutions to key business drivers, incorporating the real estate function as a strategic infrastructure partner within the corporation. It also creates a unique opportunity for the Corporate Real Estate, Human Resources and Information Technology departments to partner together to better manage the company's capacity needs. Underscoring the effectiveness of our partnership, the International Development Research Council honored Capital One and Jones Lang LaSalle with its 'Best Practice Award' for 1999.ä
