As a commercial real estate advisor at JLL, Wheatley will provide consulting and advisory expertise for companies navigating strategic planning and leasing processes.

“With over six years representing clients in the Greater Boston region, I know the life science boom is here to stay,” said Carolyn Wheatley, Executive Vice President at JLL. “And with that, the demand from both tenants and landlord who are seeking to expand their footprint in the market. I’m thrilled to join JLL and be part of a team that truly values its clients and creates rewarding opportunities for employees and communities alike.”
“The growing demand for biotechnology space in the region has created tremendous opportunities for clients and workforce development too," said Matt Daniels, New England Brokerage Lead and Executive Managing Director at JLL. “Wheatley is a rising star positioned among the many advisors leading the way in life sciences and commercial real estate. We are very lucky to have her on our team and look forward to leveraging her expertise."
