JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: JMP) will add 350 or more employees in Central Ohio during the next five years. To accommodate its employment growth, the firm will invest more than $18 million to refurbish leased office space at two Polaris Parkway locations.

“Chase continues to offer a growing number of career opportunities at a great company in Columbus,” said James Malz, president of Chase in Ohio. “In addition, the new jobs bring new investment in the community as our real estate needs grow and we customize workspaces to welcome new colleagues.”

When this new wave of hiring is complete, Chase will have added more than 6,000 new jobs and a million square feet of real estate in central Ohio since the 2004 merger of Bank One and JPMorgan Chase. Last year alone, Chase added about 2,500 jobs in Central Ohio.

Chase has leased 72,000 square feet of space in Columbus and an 83,000-square-foot building in Westerville. Workers will move into the Columbus building next month and into the Westerville building this summer.

Located in the city of Columbus, the McCoy Center already is the working home to more than 10,000 employees. It is the single largest JPMorgan Chase facility in the world.
