NEW YORK CITY—JLL vice chairman Robert Martin has been named as an international director, an internal designation that elevates him to the firm's most senior leadership level. Martin was acknowledged for his established record of excellent client work, contributions to JLL's growth, exceptional teamwork with colleagues, superior internal development of individuals and teams, and consistent demonstration of high ethical values and behavior.

Martin has more than 30 years of experience in Manhattan commercial real estate and specializes in large, complex transactions for corporate tenants. He also has expertise in multi-market leasing and sales transactions throughout the United States; Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and the Asia-Pacific region.

Martin was honored earlier this year with JLL's MVP Award, which recognized him as the firm's top broker nationwide for 2015. This is the fourth consecutive year that Martin has ranked as one of JLL's top five producers in the United States. The MVP Award is based on a broker's individual annual production.

One of Martin's most noteworthy efforts in 2015 was completing the relocation of Assured Guaranty from 31 W. 52nd St. to 1633 Broadway, both owned by Paramount Group. As part of the transaction, he also negotiated a complex profit-sharing structure that allowed the insurance firm and the building owner to profit from Assured Guaranty's below-market lease at 31 W. 52nd St.

“Since joining JLL in 2010, Robert Martin has made major contributions to the firm,” says Phil Palmer, executive managing director. “He continues to rank as one of the firm's top producing brokers, and we look forward to his efforts to build value for our clients and shareholders in the coming years.”
