The bank kept its Overweight rating, noting JLL's steady revenue from property management. Palantir's stock reached an all-time high, but an investor argues its valuation is too high, requiring significant earnings growth to justify its market cap.

JLL arranged $100M in bridge financing for Waypoint Residential's two Florida properties, The Pointe at Davis Creek (288 units) and The Bradley St. Augustine (250 units). The properties, delivered in Q1 2025, feature high-end amenities and are located in growing areas. JLL's team, led by Matthew Lawton, secured the floating-rate financing with TPG Real Estate Credit, highlighting strong Sun Belt multifamily fundamentals.

JLL Income Property Trust acquired the Worcester Distribution Center in Boylston for $90M, citing high demand for well-located warehouses due to rising fuel costs.

Warehouses make up 39% of JLL's portfolio, valued at $2.7B.

JLL arranged a $406M CMBS loan for Regent Properties' Trammell Crow Center in Dallas, a 92% occupied 50-story office tower. The 5-year loan was provided by Wells Fargo and Morgan Stanley.
