Jackson Kaplan
By Joshua Burd
Sitex Group has promoted Jackson Kaplan to senior vice president, citing his role in its investment activities and in growing its portfolio outside New Jersey.
Kaplan, who has been with the Englewood-based firm since 2020, has closed more than $1 billion in real estate transactions and some $500 million in bridge and permanent financing during his tenure. In his new role, he’ll continue to lead Sitex’s direct equity investments across Florida’s industrial markets, as well as its debt investment platform.
He most recently was a vice president with the industrial real estate developer and investor.
“Jackson has been an integral member of our team since joining as an associate,” said Zach McHugh, a principal with Sitex. “Beyond his primary investment responsibilities, Jackson has played a crucial role in portfolio and asset management and consistently demonstrates a commitment to Sitex’s success. We are excited for Jackson to continue contributing to the firm as we evolve and grow.”
Kaplan’s more than $1 billion in deal volume has spanned 25 acquisitions, Sitex said, while noting that the firm’s financing activity has included everything from banks and debt funds to insurance companies and commercial mortgage-backed securities transactions. Prior to joining the firm, he worked at North Park Ventures in Chicago, where he evaluated more than 20 million square feet of opportunistic, value-add and core-plus multifamily and mixed-use investments across the U.S.
He holds a bachelor’s from Colorado College and is actively involved in the commercial real estate community as a member of NAIOP and the Urban Land Institute. In addition, Kaplan currently serves on UJA’s Real Estate Executives Committee.
