Move is part of strategy to expand its multifamily business and agency lending platform
Real estate firm JLL has tapped Luke Vanderpoel as senior managing director to co-lead its Freddie Mac platform alongside senior managing director Steve Henderson.
The group said that the appointment is part of its efforts to focus on its multi-housing business and continue to grow its agency lending platform.
Vanderpoel brings nearly two decades of experience in commercial real estate with a focus on agency lending and Freddie Mac loan programs. Over the course of his career, he’s originated more than $25 billion of commercial real estate and Freddie Mac loans. Vanderpoel started his career as a production analyst at HFF, which JLL acquired in 2019.
“As we continue to focus on our multi-housing business and growing our agency lending platform, it was a natural progression for Luke to move into a leadership role within the group,” said Gerard Sansosti, executive managing director and co-lead of JLL’s debt and loan sale platform. “His knowledge, relationships and affable professionalism make him a valuable teammate for our JLL team as well as our multi-housing clients.”
