JLL Snags Two Senior Brokers from Colliers in South Florida

JLL has hired two senior brokers from Colliers International in South Florida. Steven Hurwitz and Douglas Okun will join JLL as Managing Directors. The duo will partner with JLL’s existing brokerage team to support further growing the agency leasing business line in South Florida. That encompasses a focus on expanding the firm’s presence in Miami Beach, Coconut Grove, Coral Gables and Miami Airport West.

Hurwitz was previously executive managing director and director of office services at Colliers International, where he was responsible for both landlord and tenant representation for large institutional firms, private equity companies and local businesses. Okun was previously executive managing director at Colliers, where he was responsible for overseeing the leasing of a variety of office properties throughout South Florida for clients including RREEF, Zurich, Colony Realty Partners, Brookwood, ProMed/Gazit and Resorts World Miami.

“I am thrilled to welcome such leading professionals not only to our Agency leasing team, but to our entire Florida One family,” said Tim Rivers, JLL Florida Market Director. “With their added reach and acumen, they will be instrumental in supporting our continued growth in the region.”
