JLL New Jersey strengthens its debt and equity advisory group with key hire

MORRISTOWN, N.J., Oct. 20, 2025 –  JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has expanded its debt and equity advisory team with the addition of Nazario Paragano in its Morristown, New Jersey, office.

“We’re really excited to bring Naz from the ownership side of the business to our debt and equity advisory team,” said Michael Klein, Senior Managing Director and co-head of JLL’s New Jersey Capital Markets office. “His unique insights and understanding of capital allocation decisions, investment strategies and the owner’s perspective on financing structures will be invaluable to our clients. Additionally, having someone who has been on both sides of the table strengthens our ability to deliver best-in-class advisory services and reinforces our commitment to providing our clients with the most comprehensive and strategic counsel in the marketplace.”

Paragano joins JLL with more than 15 years of experience in commercial real estate, largely on the ownership/principal side of the industry. Most recently, he served as Vice President of Acquisitions at Winfield Properties where he specialized in sourcing and executing acquisition opportunities. He has also held the position of Vice President of Acquisitions at Onyx Equities, LLC, and worked as a Transactions and Asset Management Analyst at PGIM Real Estate. Paragano holds a Bachelor of Science from Cornell University’s Nolan School of Hotel Administration.

“I’m thrilled to join JLL and transition to the advisory side of the industry, especially as the debt markets continue to stabilize,” added Paragano. “My background in acquisitions enables me to foresee clients needs, provide tailored solutions, and speak the same language as the principals making these critical financing decisions.”
