Lyle Patterson in June joined Chicago’s Jones Lang LaSalle as senior vice president with responsibility for  suburban agency leasing in Chicago. Leveraging a background that includes more than 25 years of agency leasing, capital markets and property management experience, Patterson will focus on executing Jones Lang LaSalle’s growth plans for its suburban agency leasing business.

Patterson will report directly to Daniel Fernitz, senior vice president of suburban agency leasing, and will work in tandem with Jones Lang LaSalle’s other practice group leaders to expand the firm’s suburban agency leasing portfolio in all key submarkets. Patterson will be based in the firm’s recently opened O’Hare Plaza office, joining high-profile new hires Keith Stauber, Midwest industrial services practice leader, and Brenda Crisp, Midwest industrial property management practice leader, as part of the firm’s strategy to meet its clients’ growing demand within the suburban marketplace.

Patterson joins Jones Lang LaSalle from Romanek Properties, Ltd. where he was Director of acquisitions, charged with the development of brokerage relationships throughout the Midwest. Prior to this, Patterson spent 10 years at Equity Office Properties Trust where he led marketing and leasing efforts for the firm’s 4.5-million-square-foot suburban portfolio of Class-A properties. During his tenure there, he also served as vice president of investments, and was responsible for the origination of investment opportunities in Chicago and Atlanta.

“I am thrilled to join a company where I can put to use all of the real estate and business experience I have gained over the duration of my career,” said Patterson. “No other market presents more opportunities for users and owners of real estate, and so it’s an exciting time to be in the business, and I look forward to being part of a team that is considered best-in-class.”

Prior to his tenure at Equity Office Properties Trust, Patterson held positions at Insignia, Tower Real Estate Services, Ltd., Rubloff, Inc. and LaSalle Partners, Inc. Patterson holds a bachelor’s degree in economics from Southern Illinois University.
