JLL is expanding its NSW industrial and logistics team on the back of record-breaking occupier demand in 2021 and rapid business growth, including the appointment of Mark Silva as director.
Silva joins JLL’s industrial and logistics – occupier services team after 17 years of experience in the property industry. His most recent role was head of industrial and logistics (NSW) at Knight Frank.
Mark will work directly with JLL’s supply chain team, project and development services team and environmental sustainability team.
“His extensive industry experience and impeccable reputation for client service and outstanding results will allow us to continue to provide the very best solutions to industrial occupiers across the country,” JLL’s national head of industrial and logistics – occupier services, Matt Lee said.
In the past six months, JLL has expanded the NSW industrial and logistics agency team with five appointments in the past six months, including the appointments of Aston D’Alfonso, Matt Pizzonia, Chiara Liucci and Rebecca Emeny.
“2021 activity for the industrial occupier market hit record breaking levels, with no signs of slowing down this year. Population growth, supply chain reconfiguration, the e-commerce boom and a shift to local manufacturing will continue to drive demand in 2022 and beyond,” JLL’s national head of industrial & logistics agency, Peter Blade said.
There have also been a number of key internal promotions within the Western Sydney team. Miguel Lee has been appointed to a newly created role, director of middle markets, logistics and industrial. Marco Chiodo has been appointed to head of western Sydney, logistics and industrial; and Stephen Chronopoulos appointed to associate director, logistics and industrial.
