JLL Targets Continued Growth in San Fran

SAN FRANCISCO-In response to increased client demand for real estate capital markets expertise in the western US, Jones Lang LaSalle has hired industry veteran Paul Lee as a managing director to expand the firm’s sales, acquisition, joint venture and financing capabilities in the San Francisco market. In addition, JLL adds a few more to the San Francisco office including real estate investment banking veteran John Manning who joins the firm as a managing director on the real estate investment banking team, and Joe Euphrat to lead the firm’s healthcare capital markets practice on the West Coast within the firm’s Americas business.

Lee will partner with managing director and leader of the firm’s capital market practice in Northern California and the Pacific Northwest, Michel Seifer, to advance the firm’s client service delivery of office, industrial, retail, multifamily and hotel-related transactions. “As equity funds and REITs continue to amass large sums of capital, they are actively searching for quality investments and the West Coast is a prime target,” says Elizabeth Hearle, JLL’s Northern California market director.  “Paul’s near 30 years of experience here in the San Francisco market will be invaluable as we seek to satisfy the needs of our growing clientele.”
