JLL announced today adding two leading brokerage professionals to the company’s Sacramento regional office, Michael Luca and Dominic Smith, further building the Greater Sacramento/Northern California Industrial Super Region team and reflecting JLL’s ongoing commitment to growing industrial services to meet client needs.

Luca, joining as Senior Managing Director, will be leading the Industrial team in Sacramento and has more than two decades of experience in the market working with landlord/owners and occupiers, depending on the assignment. He moves to JLL from CBRE where he led the Automotive Properties Group representing many national and local auto dealer groups on acquisitions, dispositions and other real estate needs. A University of Nevada-Reno graduate, he was named CBRE’s 2006 “Rookie of the Year” and has since built a track record as one of the dominant industrial professionals in the Sacramento Region. He received industry recognition in 2022 in being named “Industrial Broker of the Year” by the Association of Commercial Real Estate (ACRE).

Smith joins JLL as Senior Associate Broker, also moving from CBRE’s Industrial & Logistics group. He joined CBRE in 2020 as an analyst and rose to join the brokerage team. He is a graduate of San Diego State University.

“We’re thrilled to have Mike and Dominic join our Northern California Industrial Super Region as Sacramento market experts, demonstrating another step in JLL’s ongoing growth in Northern California and our focus on aligning around clients’ needs,” said Jason Ovadia, JLL’s Northern California Industrial Co-Lead and Executive Managing Director. “Mike is a proven leader in our industry and throughout the Sacramento market, bringing a long track record of success to complement JLL’s industrial capabilities in Northern California and beyond.”

Added Greg Matter, Northern California Industrial Co-Lead and Executive Managing Director, “This is both a challenging and opportunistic time in the industrial real estate sector, and JLL is committed to working side-by-side with our clients, and anticipating needs of this dynamic market cycle. We are excited to have Mike’s leadership and commitment to growing our team throughout Sacramento and the region.”
