JONES Lang LaSalle Hotels has opened a new office in New Zealand.
Based in Auckland, the office will be headed up by Dean Humphries.
He was previously JLL’s national director of valuation and advisory.
JLL Hotels’ new Auckland office is one of 10 offices located in Asia Pacific, a region which now boasts over 90 dedicated hotel specialists.
Humphries said the ongoing demand for specialist hotel investment advice in NZ created a unique opportunity.
“We have sold 13 hotels throughout New Zealand in recent years, predominantly off market, and including the recent sale of a large provincial hotel which achieved a record value on a per room basis for any hotel located outside the main city centres,” he added.
Also based in Auckland, James Gatland has joined the team as analyst of investment sales/corporate advisory.
Gatland is a recent graduate of Auckland University with property and tourism qualifications.
