JLL has strengthened its Morristown-based capital markets team with the hiring of Nazario Paragano, a veteran of several well-known commercial real estate firms in New Jersey.
The company on Monday said Paragano joins the debt and equity advisory group with more than 15 years of industry experience, including his most recent position as vice president of acquisitions at Winfield Properties. He previously held the same title at Onyx Equities LLC, having also worked as a transactions and asset management analyst at PGIM Real Estate.
“We’re really excited to bring Naz from the ownership side of the business to our debt and equity advisory team,” said Michael Klein, senior managing director and co-head of JLL’s New Jersey capital markets office. “His unique insights and understanding of capital allocation decisions, investment strategies and the owner’s perspective on financing structures will be invaluable to our clients.
“Additionally, having someone who has been on both sides of the table strengthens our ability to deliver best-in-class advisory services and reinforces our commitment to providing our clients with the most comprehensive and strategic counsel in the marketplace.”
Paragano holds a bachelor’s from Cornell University’s Nolan School of Hotel Administration.
“I’m thrilled to join JLL and transition to the advisory side of the industry, especially as the debt markets continue to stabilize,” Paragano said. “My background in acquisitions enables me to foresee clients’ needs, provide tailored solutions and speak the same language as the principals making these critical financing decisions.”
