JLL announced today hiring Cody Morrison as Executive Vice President focusing on tenant representation. Based in JLL’s Bellevue office, Morrison works with clients throughout the Seattle region and nationally. He was formerly Portfolio Director in WeWork, overseeing their Pacific Northwest locations. Previously, he was a tenant advisor at Washington Partners Corporate Real Estate. Between the two companies, he's been a part of over 7,000 transactions valued in excess of $1.5 billion.

“We’re thrilled to have Cody on board to expand our client services capabilities,” said Chris Hughes, JLL Managing Director and Bellevue office lead. “This is both a challenging and exciting time in the commercial real estate industry, and JLL is committed to supporting our clients in every market cycle. Experienced veterans like Cody are integral to our clients’ success as we help them navigate these dynamic times.”

Added Morrison, “It’s an exciting time to be at JLL. JLL’s recent acquisitions and recruiting enhance their capabilities and mission to deliver the best possible outcomes for their clients, at a time when clients' needs are evolving faster than ever. I can’t wait to get back into the trenches with their exceptional PNW team, many of whom I broke into the industry with two decades ago.”

A passionate Husky, Morrison was a pitcher for the then Pac-10 champion baseball team. After leaving the University of Washington, he played in the Anaheim Angels and Seattle Mariners organizations. When his playing career concluded, Cody then threw himself into coaching, helping lead the University of Puget Sound to some of their most successful teams in their history.
