JLL Adds 2 C&W Brokers to Its Orlando Multifamily Team

JLL Capital Markets has added Jay Ballard and Ken Delvillar as managing directors focused on multi-housing transactions in its Orlando office.

 Ballard and Delvillar have more than 54 years of combined industry experience. They join JLL from Cushman and Wakefield, where they were executive directors for the Florida Multifamily Advisory Group. Over the course of their careers, Ballard and Delvillar have represented a variety of public and private companies, developers, life companies, pension fund advisors and condo converters on both a regional and national basis and have been involved in more than $6.5 billion of completed transactions.

Ballard is an active member of National Multi-Housing Council (NMHC) and Florida Apartment Association (FAA). He has been recognized as a top broker both in-house and by NAIOP, Costar and Central Florida Commercial Real Estate Society (CFCRES). Ballard is a graduate of the University of South Carolina, Darla Moore School of Business.

Delvillar graduated with a degree in Finance from the University of Central Florida.  He is also an active member of numerous industry organizations, including NMHC, FAA, Apartment Association of Greater Orlando (AAGO) and CFCRES. Additionally, Mr. Delvillar is a Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM).

 “We are very excited about the opportunity to join the Central Florida JLL Capital Markets team,” Ballard said. “With JLL’s recent acquisition of HFF last year, our ability to tap into their extensive debt and equity capacity by way of their DUS lending and equity platform, will allow us to expand the services we provide to our clients.”
