 To keep pace with demand, JLL announced the expansion of its leading multifamily platform with the addition of 14 professionals across the West, including two industry veterans hired as Managing Directors in the Phoenix office of JLL .

“JLL is committed to an integrated capital markets business to serve the commercial real estate industry. For our multifamily offerings that means global capital access, local market knowledge and capital markets expertise to deliver solutions – whether buying, selling or financing a multifamily asset,” said JLL International Director David Williams.

Joining JLL in Phoenix are Managing Directors Brandon Harrington and Matt Steffen, a market-leading duo specializing in multifamily debt and equity opportunities nationwide. 

Bringing over 25 years of combined experience, Harrington and Steffen arranged more than $1 billion of financing in the past two years alone, with nearly 75 percent of the volume financed with Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Harrington and Steffen join from a nationally recognized brokerage firm, along with two additional team members.

Peter Belisle
Based out of Phoenix, Harrington and Steffen are tasked with growing JLL’s multifamily presence between Denver and Southern California, and will be partnering with investment sales teams in the region.

“The connectivity in our multifamily platform is bolstered by the diverse range of geographic and product offerings we have.

Added Paul Washington, JLL Market Director, Rocky Mountain Region, “Denver’s strong job growth continues to outpace its robust population growth, which is fueled by the net-migration of an educated workforce. 

" Each of these factors contribute towards the demand for, and the value of, multifamily product. The addition of this highly talented team of professionals to our already strong multifamily platform speaks to JLL’s dedication to serving our clients with the very best strategic advice and execution, and growing our market share as a result.”
