JLL hires Angela Sweeney as Marketing Director for Lifestyle Property Management team

CHICAGO, Feb. 17, 2026 – JLL announced today that it hired Angela Sweeney as Executive Vice President, Marketing Director for its Lifestyle Property Management division. The appointment supports the division's strategic evolution to focus on creating vibrant, experiential destinations that blend multiple property types, enabling JLL to better serve clients and consumers with comprehensive solutions that maximize property performance and long-term value.

In November 2025, JLL announced the evolution of Retail Property Management to Lifestyle Property Management, a strategic shift recognizing that today's most successful properties integrate retail, residential, office, hospitality and entertainment to create compelling destination experiences. The division now encompasses mixed-use developments, lifestyle centers, destination sports and entertainment venues, grocery-anchored centers, malls and open-air properties. A significant portion of her role will support The Mixx—JLL’s specialized mixed-use property management team that delivers unified services across Property Management, Marketing, Placemaking strategy and Leasing Advisory through a seamless, integrated service model.

“Angela’s appointment comes at a pivotal moment as we advance our Lifestyle Property Management business to better reflect the transformation of today’s most successful properties,” said Paul Chase, President of Lifestyle Property Management at JLL. “Her extensive background in mixed-use marketing, placemaking and digital innovation will be instrumental as we implement The Mixx methodology to maximize long-term value and generate strong investor returns by transforming assets into experiential destinations."

Sweeney brings over 25 years of marketing leadership experience across mixed-use, retail, residential and office projects throughout the US. Most recently, she served as Executive Director of the Pylot Platform at Imaginuity, leading digital marketing strategy for multi-location commercial real estate portfolios. Notably, she served as Executive Sponsor for JLL’s own retail account, collaborating with regional marketing teams and agency partners to optimize portfolio-wide digital performance across U.S. and Canadian markets. Sweeney also brings valuable expertise in digital transformation and emerging technologies to support elevated placemaking efforts across The Mixx platform.

"I'm thrilled to join JLL's Lifestyle Property Management team at such a dynamic moment in the industry," said Sweeney. "The future of commercial real estate is mixed-use, and JLL's The Mixx platform is leading this transformation. I’m eager to apply my passion for placemaking and marketing to destinations where retail, office, residential, hospitality and entertainment seamlessly blend into comprehensive lifestyle experiences."

Reporting to Paul Chase, Sweeney will oversee a team of marketing professionals and maintain geographic responsibility for Americas Regional Marketing Managers. She will lead integrated marketing plan development across digital and traditional channels while serving as a strategic advisor to drive business development initiatives and cross-selling opportunities across JLL’s service lines.

Sweeney’s industry leadership includes serving as current Chair of ICSC MAXI Awards, receiving the ICSC Trustees Distinguished Service Award in 2022, and being recognized as a GlobeSt.com Real Estate Women of Influence in Marketing in 2025.
