Jones Lang Lasalle Americas, Inc.

What this record tells you

Jones Lang Lasalle Americas, Inc. holds Florida licence CGC1505974, a CGC classification which authorises work as a certified/registered general contractor. A "C" prefix means the licence is certified — valid anywhere in Florida.

This licence was first issued in 2003, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 19% of the 3,585 active general contracting licences based in the Fort Lauderdale area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2014. That is 23 years of continuous licensure.

Jones Lang Lasalle Americas, Inc. is one of 246 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Pompano Beach, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. James Matthew Smith additionally holds 2 other active Florida licences in our records, which can indicate a contractor qualified across more than one trade or entity.

The licence is recorded as expiring on 08/31/2028. Florida licences renew on a fixed cycle, and a licence that is not renewed moves to delinquent status — which is why the expiry date matters if you are planning work close to that date. Confirm the current status on the state portal before signing a contract.
