Jones Lang LaSalle today announced that the firm has hired Thomas Walsh as a Vice President with its Americas Capital Markets practice. Walsh, who is responsible for directing the underwriting and marketing of investment property sales in the suburban markets surrounding New York City, is based in the firm’s Parsippany, N.J., office. He will work under the direction of Managing Directors Joe Garibaldi and Peter Nicoletti.

“Tom brings a wealth of experience and a comprehensive knowledge of the Tri-State Area’s suburban markets to the firm,” said Joe Garibaldi, managing director of Jones Lang LaSalle. “His strategic relationships and familiarity with a broad range of transactions make him a strong asset for the firm.”

Throughout his career, Walsh has been directly involved with the marketing and sale of approximately $2 billion of commercial real estate, including office, industrial, retail, multifamily and land. His clients include pension fund advisors, REITs and a range of domestic and foreign private investors.

Walsh holds a BBA in business management from the University of Massachusetts, as well as an MBA in finance from Fairleigh Dickinson University. He also holds a CCIM designation and is a licensed real estate salesperson in the State of New Jersey.

“I anticipate that the market for investment sales in key suburban areas will continue to grow as the economic climate strengthens,” said Walsh. “I look forward to working with the Jones Lang LaSalle team to increase our marketshare and further strengthen the firm’s client relationships.”
