Commercial real estate services firm JLL recently promoted Tony Lenamon to Americas head of valuation advisory. In his new role, Lenamon will focus on providing a client experience not readily achieved in the market, which includes building a platform that leverages JLL’s global expertise to deliver local real estate solutions, the company announced in a press release.
Lenamon joined JLL as a managing director in January 2020 to lead the National Valuation Advisory Multi-Housing practice, which he will continue concurrent with his new duties. During 2020, his group enjoyed a 45 percent year-over-year increase in revenue, despite the pandemic, the company said.
“I’m honored to lead this dedicated group of professionals,” Lenamon said in the release. “We’re building an organization that will be the employer of choice in our industry, and our talented team will be the preferred provider of solutions to extremely sophisticated real estate lenders and investors.”
Lenamon, who has more than 30 years of professional experience, assumed his new role on July 1 from Managing Director Blake Lacher, who is shifting his full-time focus to the growth of JLL’s energy solutions business in the Americas. Lacher, who has been with JLL for more than eight years, has made his mark on JLL’s Valuation Advisory service, leading corporate finance and net lease and creating the company’s regulated securities business.
“Tony is a proven leader who has delivered strong results since he joined JLL,” Global Valuation Advisory CEO Mark Wynne-Smith said. “I can’t thank Blake enough for stepping in as interim lead for valuation advisory, and I look forward to further partnership as Blake continues to grow the energy solutions practice, which is critical for the firm.”
