Robert Gibson has joined JLL as vice chairman of New York retail brokerage to lead the expansion of the firm’s retail platform in Manhattan, and will be responsible for the growth of retail tenant and agency leasing in the market.

“New York is a vital market for international retailers pursuing entry into the U.S., and for national retailers seeking access to an extremely dense customer base. As retail’s globalization continues and competition for prime, high-street locations increases, the addition of Robert Gibson to our New York retail platform will significantly enhance our ability to service clients with the very best representation.” – Greg Maloney, CEO of JLL Retail.
