JLL has hired Thomas Romano as managing director; Timothy Norris and Vinny Di Meglio as senior vice presidents; and TJ Romano as associate to assist the firm in expanding its reach in the Princeton, N.J., market. The firm will operate at a new JLL Princeton office location as part of the effort.

“The Princeton area is the second-largest Class A submarket in New Jersey, and Tom Romano and his colleagues have a truly dominant agency presence in the area,” said Dan Loughlin, market lead for JLL’s New Jersey office business. “The market is highly parochial, so JLL having a physical presence there is crucial.”

Thomas Romano has more than 23 years of experience in New Jersey commercial real estate, with a primary focus on agency leasing, tenant representation and investment sales services in the Princeton area. He previously served as an executive managing director with a major New Jersey real estate brokerage firm. Romano and his colleagues oversaw an agency leasing portfolio comprising several million square feet of office space in the Princeton market. He has completed agency leasing and tenant representation transactions totaling more than 4 million square feet with an aggregate value in excess of $400 million.

Norris has more than 30 years of experience in New Jersey commercial real estate, with a primary focus on investment sales and landlord representation services in the Princeton area. Norris has sold more than $200 million worth of commercial real estate throughout the United States, about 75 percent of which was located in Central New Jersey.

Di Meglio has more than 10 years of experience and has completed hundreds of transactions totaling more than 1 million square feet of leasing transactions and investment sales worth more than $35 million. In 2017, he was chosen by Connect Media as one of its 25 young leaders in the Commercial Real Estate business throughout the United States. In 2018, Di Meglio was accepted as a member of the prestigious Forbes Real Estate Council.

JLL is a leader in the northern/central New Jersey commercial real estate market, with more than 1,000 professionals and support staff providing agency leasing and property marketing, tenant representation, industrial services, strategic consulting, occupancy planning, workplace strategies, project and development services, property and facility management, and investment sales/capital markets services to New Jersey's leading corporate tenants, investors and landlords. The firm, which assists clients from three full-service offices in Parsippany, Iselin (Metropark) and East Rutherford, also acts as a local service provider for JLL’s global and national corporate clients in need of real estate assistance in New Jersey.
