JLL’s Minneapolis Capital Markets group adds two retail specialists, Matt Hazelton and Cory Villaume

 

 Matt Hazelton 

MINNEAPOLIS, MN – JLL Capital Markets has hired Senior Directors Matt Hazelton and Cory Villaume to specialize in retail investment sales and advisory transactions in Minneapolis-St. Paul and the Midwest.

 With a focus on multi-tenant and net-leased retail sales, Hazelton and Villaume come to JLL from another leading commercial real estate firm.

Over their careers they have been responsible for nearly $1 billion of retail property dispositions and acquisitions. Their addition to the JLL Capital Markets team in Minneapolis, which is led by Senior Managing Directors David Berglund and Colin Ryan, fills an important gap in retail services for the office.

 “The Minneapolis market has seen a tremendous amount of interest from the national investment community and upward pressure on pricing,” Hazelton said.


David Berglund

“JLL is a market leader for retail brokerage around the world, and now we can help further bring that platform to investors in the Twin Cities by having boots on the ground.”

 “Since the onset of COVID, we have seen the private capital funding sources significantly increase their deal size appetite in the Twin Cities,” Villaume added.

Colin Ryan

“JLL affords us the opportunity to make sure the local market players are seeing what used to be viewed as strictly institutional-sized deals.”
