SAN FRANCISCO—In anticipation of a continuing robust transaction market in the San Francisco Bay Area, Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) has hired industry veteran Erik Doyle to deepen the firm's investment sales bench and broaden the firm's client service delivery in the Silicon Valley and across Northern California. Doyle, who joins as a managing director, will collaborate with managing directors Michel Seifer and Rob Hielscher to expand the firm's investment sales expertise in the region. Doyle will be joined by Will Connors as EVP and Ben Bullock and Nicole Zanghi as VPs.

In addition to their investment sales focus, the new hires will also work closely with Pacific Northwest Market Director Elizabeth Hearle to broaden the firm's strong client service offerings, which currently include tenant representation, landlord leasing, property management and project management.

“Erik, Will, Ben and Nicole are highly respected Capital Markets professionals in the Bay Area with a stellar track record and a comprehensive network of institutional, local and regional clients throughout San Francisco and the Silicon Valley,” said Seifer. “This unmatched local expertise, paired with JLL's global reach and extensive institutional track record, allows us to further differentiate ourselves as a market-leading Capital Markets platform in the region. Our clients have specifically told us they value both local presence and global access to capital and this combination gives our clients the best-in-class service they've come to expect from our firm.”
