JLL Capital Markets strengthens Denver presence with dedicated industrial investment sales team

DENVER, July 29, 2024 –  JLL Capital Markets announced today a new Denver industrial Investment Sales and Advisory team, led by Senior Managing Director Peter Merrion and Director Robert Key. This dedicated team will exclusively focus on industrial investment sales and equity placement, aiming to deliver institutional-caliber service to clients in the Denver market.

“This strategic move comes as a response to a noticeable gap in client service we have seen in the Denver market for the industrial asset class,” said Merrion. “Unlike other major firms that have sales professionals splitting their time as leasing brokers, we recognized an opportunity to provide enhanced client service with a purely capital markets focused team. We are excited to usher in this new era and deliver exceptional results for our clients."

An industry veteran with 20 years of experience in the business, Merrion will continue to co-head the Denver Capital Markets office alongside Leon McBroom. In this new role, he will team up with Robert Key, who joined JLL in 2020 and has been covering Denver industrial sales with the valuable assistance of several national teammates.

“The new Denver Industrial Investment Sales & Advisory team at JLL is poised to create a significant impact in the industrial sector within the Denver market,” said Huguenard, Industrial Group Co-leader and Senior Managing Director. “This team represents a tremendous opportunity for JLL to meet the growing client demand for these services and further solidify our position as a trusted partner in the industry."

In addition to the newly formed industrial Investment Sales and Advisory team, JLL remains committed to serving client needs in the office sector. Mark Katz and Hilary Barnett will continue to lead the Institutional Office Investment Sales and Advisory team, and Larry Thiel and Sean Whitney will lead Private Capital client needs.
