Miller, Godsey to Lead JLL's Tampa Office

TAMPA, FL—Brokerage firm JLL reports that Tampa Bay real estate veterans Brent Miller and Gary Godsey have been promoted and will take on the leadership of the Tampa brokerage office for the firm.

Working as a team, Miller and Godsey will oversee the day-to-day operations, collaboration among the firm's integrated service offerings, and focus on implementing the company's growth strategy in the Tampa Bay region, company officials say. They will also continue to lead the firm's tenant representation business line for the Tampa office, which in 2014 experienced its best year in the firm's history.

“JLL is committed to significantly expanding our platform and footprint in Tampa and with Brent and Gary at the helm, we are confident they will help take us to the next level,” says Florida market director Doug Irmscher. “Brent and Gary are natural leaders, who have excelled at their roles at JLL by helping us become a market leader in Tampa. Equally important is the fact that they represent the values that we look for in our leadership of integrity, teamwork, trust, collaboration and excellence.”

For the past 15 years, Miller has negotiated more than 400 lease and capital transactions in excess of six million square feet of office space. Before joining JLL seven years ago through the merger with The Staubach Co., Miller held posts at CLW Real Estate Services Group and Equis Corporation, both in Tampa.

Godsey has extensive experience in developing and implementing corporate real estate strategies for various corporations with both global and national real estate portfolios. Joining JLL in 2008 through the merger with The Staubach Co., he has managed more than 500 lease and capital transactions in excess of six million square feet in his 11-year career with the firm.
