Turner & Townsend grows its global real estate remit with Shell
Turner & Townsend, the global professional services company, has been appointed by Shell Real Estate as its sole global provider of programme management office (PMO), project management and cost and commercial management services for the next five years.
Turner & Townsend will support Shell Real Estate to manage and deliver a capital programme across its real estate portfolio, spanning more than 11 million sqm (figures from Shell’s annual data, correct as of 2024) of offices, laboratories, accommodation and industrial facilities at energy-related sites in more than 60 countries.
This includes delivering world-class workplaces at flagship assets in Shell Centre London, Shell Woodcreek Houston, The Hague Campus and Shell Business Operations Bangalore.
This re-appointment deepens a 30-year relationship between the two firms and reflects Shell’s desire to build strategic, long-term, global collaborations with key suppliers.
Through the renewed relationship, Turner & Townsend will continue to bring its market-leading capital programme and portfolio expertise capabilities and innovative solutions, such as its Hive digital delivery platform – which provides benchmarking, project and cost and commercial management tools – and expert advisory services, such sustainability, procurement, and health and safety.
Turner & Townsend brings extensive experience in global real estate into this role, as the firm currently works with 50 percent of the top 20 financial holdings companies in the world and has delivered many of the world’s largest real estate programmes.
Nadia de Klerk, Global Sector Sponsor and Head of UK Occupier & Portfolios, commented:
We're delighted to be deepening our relationship with Shell Real Estate and are exceptionally proud to be appointed as its sole global provider for PMO, project and cost and commercial management services.
