Lauri Mustonen to strengthen JLL's Debt Advisory team
JLL, the world's leading real estate advisor, is expanding its Debt Advisory service in Finland to meet growing demand.
M.Sc. (Econ.) Lauri Mustonen started on August 12th, 2024, as a Senior Associate in JLL's Debt Advisory team in Helsinki. Mustonen joined JLL after working for over six years in Danske Bank's Debt Capital Markets unit.
JLL established the Debt Advisory team in Finland in 2021 as part of JLL's Europe-wide debt advisory service. Due to rising interest rates, there has been a growing demand for new financing solutions in the real estate investment market. In addition to traditional Nordic bank financing, more diverse financing options have entered the market also in Finland due to new lenders such as international banks, insurance companies, and debt funds. To meet the growing demand, JLL will further strengthen its position as the market leader in debt advisory in Finland.
Eemeli Lehto, Head of Debt & Financial Advisory, Finland: This year has been very active in terms of assignments. We have advised on several debt transactions with a total volume of approximately EUR 600 million in Finland. Customers have been very satisfied with our service, and we see that the need for debt advisory services will continue. With Lauri's recruitment, we will be able to serve our customers even better and strengthen our position as Finland's leading provider of debt advisory services.
Lauri Mustonen, Senior Associate, Debt Advisory: I am highly excited to join JLL's unique debt team. My extensive experience at Danske Bank in corporate bond structuring and my additional experience in real estate transactions give me a strong foundation for debt advisory in the real estate sector, where the importance of alternative financing solutions for clients is growing strongly."
