“Rachel McCaslin will be a terrific addition to JLL’s PDS practice,” says Jassin. “Our clients will greatly benefit from her previous experience in the design and construction of hotel and hospitality projects both in New York and around the globe. Rachel has a tremendous eye for detail and will be crucial in assisting the firm with planning, developing and managing budgets, schedules, and project consultants to ensure we provide our hospitality clients with the level of service they expect when they hire JLL.”
