JLL Boosts Capital Markets

CHICAGO—Responding to what company officials call strong investor demand from both debt and equity sides of a liquid market, JLL’s Capital Markets has just hired industry veteran Chuck Johanns for the firm’s Midwest platform as executive vice president. Johanns will work out of the Chicago office under the direction of managing director Dave Hendrickson and focus on raising debt and equity for acquisitions and development.

“Investors from all over the world are increasingly turning their sights to Chicago and other Midwest markets,” says Hendrickson. “Chuck’s breadth of experience and industry knowledge, especially across various markets and with all major property types, will be immediately impactful to our team.”
