Paul Washington has stepped down as executive director of the
Denver Office of Economic Development to join
JLL as market director for the Rocky Mountain Region.
As market director, Washington will oversee day-to-day operations for the region, including managing a team of more than 265 people and ensuring integrated business development opportunities for JLL business lines, including tenant representation, corporate accounts, capital markets, project development services, public institutions and agency leasing.
"As head of the Denver Office of Economic Development, part of my mission was to provide resources to help Colorado Businesses and communities thrive, and I see this new role as a kind of extension of that mission," Washington says. "JLL has a long history of helping Denver-area businesses create value and be more efficient through real estate acquisition and management. I look forward to working with the team here to fulfill that mission and continue to execute on growth strategies across our business lines."
Washington will work on the transition with JLL's Barry Dorfman, who in addition to serving as president of the Rocky Mountain Region and broker lead has also held the market director role since 2009.
"I'm tremendously proud of the work our team has done to set our clients in the region up for success, and I believe Paul's background and experience with the city make him uniquely qualified to continue to build on the foundation we've laid," Dorfman says. "With Paul's leadership as market director, I'll be able to focus my efforts entirely on brokerage services, our broker team and our clients."
