JLL Australia has appointed Simon Quinn as its head of alternative investments, capital markets, as the group continues to expand its reach across alternative asset types.
Quinn has more than 12 years of experience in investment transaction roles at JLL, having built expertise across alternative real estate investments through the transaction of private hospitals, laboratories, medical centres, major development sites and retirement villages.
Quinn has led both investment and development opportunities across the country within for a range of clients across the alternative asset sector.
“Domestic and offshore capital are continuing to place a high priority on alternative real estate to re-weight their portfolios to take advantage of the key demographic tailwinds in the sector, including ageing populations, urban density and population growth,” said Quinn.
The value of Australia’s alternative real estate sector reached $235 billion in 2022, bringing it up in line with the size of the country’s industrial or retail sectors.
“Simon has an expansive track record spanning nearly $2billion in transactions, including some of Australia’s key healthcare assets including private hospitals and medical centres and retirement villages across the country,” said Luke Billiau, head of capital markets at JLL, Australia and New Zealand, who was promoted to the position back in May.
“His impressive market knowledge of alternative real estate assets positions JLL strongly in this growing asset class.”
