JLL’s Allan Swaringen Sees Plenty of Runway Left for CRE

At JLL Income Property Trust, the non-traded REIT of which Allan Swaringen has been president and CEO since 2011, the long-term view remains bullish. “Even though the job market is incredibly tight, we still feel that the economy and the macro commercial real estate markets have room to grow,” Swaringen told Connect Media recently.

He noted that consumer spending continues to pick up, “and the outlook for the underlying performance of commercial real estate is still quite favorable and positive,” said Swaringen.

In the video above, Swaringen, who also serves as managing director of LaSalle Investment Management, zeroes in on the most attractive property sectors, the potential risks emerging this year and the opportunities his team is identifying for clients.
