BELLEVUE, WA and SAN DIEGO-Jones Lang LaSalle recently appointed additional personnel in two of its West Coast offices.

Daniel (Danny) Jackson has joined as an associate at the Bellevue office, where he will focus on tenant and landlord representation in the Kent Valley/Southend industrial market.

Prior to joining JLL, Jackson was the director of sales and business development of Korrio, Inc., a cloud-based service for organizing youth sports, where he raised $7.9 million in Series A and Series B venture capital financing.

Prior to embarking on his business career, Jackson was a professional soccer player and captained the USL First Division soccer team, Seattle Sounders, from 2004 to 2008, during which the team won the league championship twice, in 2005 and 2007.  He was also voted USL-1 Defensive Player of the Year in 2003, his first full year with the Sounders, after starting his career with the Colorado Rapids. 

“Danny is a proven leader, accomplished business professional and innovative thinker who exemplifies the kind of talent valued by our firm and clients.  He will add an extra, valuable dimension for industrial clients in the Southend market,” said Mark Flippo, Jones Lang LaSalle managing director.  

A native of the United Kingdom, Jackson holds a Bachelor's in political science with a minor in information systems from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.

Paul Braun has joined as managing director and Chris Ross has been named vice president to spearhead the firm's healthcare brokerage team in San Diego.

According to First Research, the healthcare industry is expected to grow at an annual compounded rate of six percent between now and 2017, and Jones Lang LaSalle is poised to help clients manage their growing real estate needs.

Braun and Ross come to JLL with a robust history of advising some of the biggest names in healthcare, both nationally and locally, on medical office and healthcare real estate leasing, investment sales, owner-user sales and occupier services.

"Paul and Chris have a great reputation in the healthcare real estate industry," said Jason Clark, managing director of Jones Lang LaSalle's Healthcare Solutions Group. “Both bring deep and unique healthcare transaction experience that augments JLL's diverse and integrated healthcare solutions team across the country.”

Braun and Ross also provide services to their clients beyond the transaction, often augmenting or devising strategic plans for leveraging resources to maximize return on real estate leases and investments. The highly specialized services they provide make them a valuable resource for developers and investors as well as health systems, medical groups, surgery centers and imaging centers.

Jones Lang LaSalle's Healthcare Solutions group works with hospitals and healthcare systems throughout the nation, delivering comprehensive inpatient and ambulatory facility management, strategic consulting, real estate capital advisory, program management, property management, transaction services, lease administration and energy/sustainability advisory services.
