“High street retail in Beverly Hills is a specialized niche market that takes years to create a presence,” said Peter Belisle, Southwest Market Director, JLL. “Houman is a premiere broker in this area and we are confident that he will provide tremendous value to our clients as they look at this crucial market for expansion and investment.”

The hiring of Mahboubi is the most recent move by JLL to expand its retail platform. In the last year, JLL has grown its retail brokerage business across major markets, acquiring HMS, Inc., Wilson Retail, Shelter Bay Retail Group, Martin Potts & Associates, Inc., and Big Red Rooster to deepen its talent bench.

“In the last 10 months our Los Angeles Retail brokerage practice has created a strong foothold in the market, and Houman will complement our continued growth,” said Naveen Jaggi, President of Retail Brokerage, JLL. “Houman and his team have forged a desirable tenant representation service model for luxury to aspirational consumer brands, providing a strategic approach to their real estate needs.”

Mahboubi joins JLL with more than 15 years of experience in high street retail, representing some of the world’s premier brands. Prior to JLL, he was a Managing Partner at a premier Beverly Hills commercial real estate firm. Mahboubi holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Southern California. He also serves as a member of the city’s Rotary Club, Chamber of Commerce, Economic Development Committee (EDC) and Rodeo Drive Committee.
