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.
