JLL Capital Markets Launches Multi-housing Team in Boston
JLL Capital Markets appointed Managing Director Martha Nay to lead its newly formed multi-housing investment sales advisory team in its Boston office.
Nay will work with Director Kellie Coveney to provide investment sales advisory services for multi-housing clients in the Boston market. In an environment where it is critical to provide integrated solutions to clients, Nay and Coveney will work closely with Director Jacqueline Meagher, who specializes in multi-housing debt and equity advisory. The trio is the only all-female multi-housing brokerage team in the Boston market.
Nay, Coveney and Meagher all joined JLL as part of the HFF acquisition in 2019. Together, the team brings in almost 30 years of experience in commercial real estate. Collectively, they have been involved in more than $6 billion dollars of commercial real estate transactions.
The new team has formed to meet the increasing need for capital solutions within the Boston multi-housing sector. According to JLL Research, Boston multi-housing demand is largely impacted by the region’s diverse and cycle-resistant employment base. Most notably, the explosive growth in Boston’s technology and life science industries, which received record venture capital funding in 2021, is driving this need for housing. Additionally, transaction volume in the area hit an all-time high in 2021, reaching over $4 billion in multi-housing sales activity.
