JLL's end-to-end CRE services propel the promising star in the flash memory industry
Solidigm, originating from Intel's NAND and SSD business divestment, was formally established in December 2021 and is currently an independent subsidiary of semiconductor leader SK Hynix in the United States. As a nascent brand in the enterprise flash memory industry, Solidigm leverages the strengths of two industry leaders and decades of technological and innovative accumulation in the storage field to become a global leader in innovative NAND flash memory solutions. It is committed to empowering clients and looking for opportunities to apply the power of data to make a better world.
Functional space design balancing rationality and sensibility
During the space design phase, the JLL team deeply understood Solidigm's expectations for the "new home" and its importance on employee health and office experience. Incorporating brand elements and bright, lively brand colors into multiple designs to showcase corporate image and characteristics, the team also addressed different functional R&D requirements and office space demands through reasonable layout and design ingenuity, making the overall space efficient and practical. In addition, sustainable design elements such as material selection, air quality, energy conservation, and water conservation were fully considered, creating a healthy office environment for Solidigm that is both innovative and modest. The project achieved LEED v4 Commercial Interior Silver Certification. The success of the project was also recognized by Solidigm's U.S. Headquarters, inviting JLL to participate in the design of its U.S. Headquarters office.
In the face of unprecedented challenges, the JLL team responded promptly to our needs. They analyzed and solved problems from a professional perspective, ensuring the smooth completion of our project and passing various inspections on schedule. This laid a solid foundation for our continued operation locally. The project team demonstrated their professionalism, dedication, and client-centric approach, leaving us with a great impression. We look forward to further opportunities for future cooperation.
