JLL Capital Markets is continuing to grow its multihousing debt advisory team, adding a 16-year industry veteran in Philadelphia.

Dan Gillard has joined JLL as a managing director. He reports directly to Senior Managing Director Ryan Ade, co-head of the firm's Philadelphia office.

In his new role, Gillard will primarily focus on sourcing new multihousing and commercial financing options both locally and nationally.

JLL Capital Markets provides capital solutions for real estate investors and occupiers. The firm has more than 3,000 capital markets specialists worldwide with offices in nearly 50 countries.

Gillard spent the past six years with multifamily lender Greystone, most recently as a managing director and head of its Philadelphia production team, where he originated commercial real estate debt and equity opportunities and was involved in closing more than $3.5 billion in loan volume since 2017 across Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Federal Housing Authority, bridge loan, balance sheet and commercial mortgage-backed securities platforms.

Before that, Gillard served as vice president of agency originations at Berkadia and grew its Fannie Mae delegated underwriting servicing, or DUS, loan production across the firm's East Coast origination offices while managing Fannie Mae production for over 40 mortgage bankers and closing more than $4 billion in Fannie Mae funding transactions.

Gillard also held various analyst roles at Wells Fargo, Freddie Mac and Mezz Cap, according to his LinkedIn profile.

Commercial real estate lender Sabal Capital Partners and its parent company, Regions Bank, have hired Jason Scott as managing director and head of conventional loan production for the companies. He is based in the firm's Atlanta office.

In his new role, Scott will oversee multifamily conventional loan production for Regions' real estate capital markets group, which includes Sabal's lending business, in addition to leading sales activities for loan production managers working on behalf of multifamily sponsors, owners, borrowers and brokers. Scott is also tasked with generating and increasing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac conventional loan opportunities for the group.

Scott most recently served as a regional managing director with Arbor Realty Trust, where he opened and administered the lender's Atlanta office and originated loans for residential and healthcare properties for large borrowers, strategic partnerships and brokers across the country. During his time there, Scott engaged and closed over $1 billion in loan volume.

This latest move marks a return to Regions Bank for Scott, who previously worked as a director of originations for the group. He also served in an underwriting role for Regions and worked on the real estate investment banking team with RBC Capital Markets.

Scott holds an MBA from California Polytechnic State University, a master's degree in real estate development from Columbia University and a bachelor's degree in finance from Virginia Tech.

Los Angeles-based investment firm BH Properties is growing its acquisition team and opened a new regional office in Seattle to focus on distressed and value-add real estate transactions, troubled and nonperforming loans, and real estate properties facing bankruptcy.

The company has tapped Hughes McLaughlin to lead the newly opened office. He joins the firm as a managing director and will report directly to John Carl III, who recently joined BH Properties to head its national value-add acquisitions platform in Dallas.

In his new role, McLaughlin will lead the firm's value-add and opportunistic real estate investment platform in the Pacific Northwest, including Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana. He will also oversee investments in distressed debt and ground leases secured by real estate across various regions and property types.

“One of the things that attracted me to BH is that they are self-funded and require little-to-no leverage to close on even the most complex transactions," he said in a statement. "This also allows us to deploy capital in scenarios where traditional joint ventures wouldn’t. My job now is to be the tip of the spear in the Pacific Northwest and go execute.”

Hughes has spent his entire 20-year career in the greater Seattle real estate market, most recently as a senior director of markets brokerage with Cushman & Wakefield. He began his real estate career with JLL in Seattle, rising from analyst to managing director. Throughout his career, Hughes has been involved in commercial real estate transactions totaling over 15 million square feet.
