Anderbring will be supported by Sara Vesterlund, Deputy Head of Capital Markets, Sweden, who also joins from Cushman & Wakefield. Both have extensive experience having worked in the Swedish real estate market for a number of years.

Matthew Richards, EMEA Board sponsor for the Nordics and CEO Capital Markets, EMEA, JLL, said:

“I am pleased to welcome this incredible trio to the team. The Nordics are an increasingly important real estate market where we have advised on some of the largest transactions for both private equity and institutional investors. With a growing number of international capital pushing beyond Europe’s core markets, we expect to see more investment targeting the region.

Through their extensive experience in these markets, all three hires will be instrumental in strengthening JLL’s market-leading investment business, connecting our wider services and ensuring we offer sustainable solutions for our clients.”

Linus Ericsson, CEO JLL Sweden, commented:

“We have built a strong and successful team that has helped us reach unprecedented transaction volumes in the region over the last year. We’re now taking the next step forward as we expand and look to offer clients in the region a coordinated approach to our services and seamless access to JLL’s global platforms.

We have a series of large-scale deals in the pipeline and this newly added expertise will complement our existing and growing capabilities in the Nordics.”

Thomas Persson, Head of Capital Markets, Nordics, JLL, said:

“I am excited to be returning to the advisory side and look forward to working with the investment teams across the region. With increasing flows of domestic capital targeting international portfolios and more interest from overseas investors for Nordic real estate, I see fantastic opportunities ahead for JLL’s market-leading advisory team.”

JLL has advised on Nordic portfolios transactions totaling over 15 billion SEK.
