PARSIPPANY, NJ—JLL recently completed its manager job for the construction of the Lexus Eastern Area Office and Training Facility at 300 Webro Road here for Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A. Inc.

The project secured Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) for Commercial Interiors Platinum certification from the U.S. Building Council. That is a first for a Lexus area training center project.

The 32,000-square-foot office and warehouse facility will serve as a training center for Lexus dealerships throughout the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions. JLL was hired to manage the project in September 2012. Ground was broken in early April 2013.

The JLL team overseeing the project management assignment was led by Jerry Sullivan, managing director, and Eric Brown, project coordinator. LEED certification coordination was led by Dana Schneider, senior vice president, and Jasmine Davis, project manager.

“Lexus, with its design team of Ware Malcomb, had the vision to transform this aging warehouse site into a highly functional and technologically advanced sales office and training facility,” says Sullivan. “Working with such support vendors as Snap-On, KEA, Langan and Hollister Construction, along with the push for excellence and performance by the client, the building was converted into a highly efficient and multi-functional facility for the firm's area managers and trainers.”
