Javelin Capital strengthens JLL’s position as a leading globally connected sustainability and infrastructure capital advisor in the growing clean energy space
Driven by rapid growth in the clean energy sector, JLL announced it has reached an agreement to acquire Javelin Capital, a leading, North America-based renewable energy investment banking firm. This acquisition will significantly enhance JLL’s U.S. Energy & Infrastructure Capital Markets capabilities, adding to established expertise in Europe and Asia – where JLL has completed more than 150 deals and transacted on more than $20 billion of enterprise value – and complementing its overall Capital Markets platform. The transaction is expected to close shortly, subject to obtaining regulatory approvals and the completion of customary closing conditions.
This strategic move positions JLL to serve as a globally connected capital advisor in energy and infrastructure, servicing core and prospective clients who are large infrastructure investors. Javelin Capital’s offerings will enable JLL to provide comprehensive solutions for new market entrants, public and private funding, and energy investments from existing clients.
“Welcoming Javelin Capital to the JLL team expands our ability to guide clients with end-to-end support through the clean energy transition, bolstering our team in the U.S. to match our leading work in the space across Asia and Europe,” said Richard Bloxam, CEO, Capital Markets at JLL. “This acquisition allows us to help clients realize the advantages of renewable, clean energy with the support of our Capital Markets and Real Estate Management Services teams.”
This announcement comes as the clean energy sector experiences unprecedented growth, fueled by increasing demand, tightening regulations, technological advancements and the compelling economics of renewable energy. JLL Research shows as more regions deploy clean energy, it is becoming the most cost-effective choice of fuel. This surge in activity creates increased opportunity for companies involved in capital raising, sell-side and buy-side advisory and project finance advisory – all of which are areas of expertise for New York-based Javelin Capital.
Established in 2017, Javelin Capital’s M&A, restructuring, capital raising, debt and corporate finance service mix and client base will complement JLL’s global offerings and business. Javelin Capital’s 16 employees, led by CEO and Managing Director, Matt Eastwick, specialize in renewable energy, energy storage and energy transition. Based in New York and Chicago, they will join JLL as part of the Capital Markets, Americas business, led by Mark Gibson.
“We are incredibly excited to join JLL to collectively expand our reach and impact in the clean energy and infrastructure sector,” said Jason Segal, Founder and Managing Partner at Javelin Capital.
Matt Eastwick, CEO and Managing Director at Javelin Capital added: “We will be able to provide clients with our domain expertise in the energy transition, driving to shape a greener future of spaces for the built environment.”
