Having been responsible for more than $1.626 billion of hotel transactions for 2021, JLL Hotels & Hospitality Group have continued their strategic expansion of the National Hotels team with the appointment of Christian Tsalikis to the Queensland Pubs team as Vice President, out of the Brisbane office.

Christian benefits from over 10 years of topline agency experience and boasts a long list of impressive transactions mandates across pubs, motels and caravan parks. Being dialed into the wider Queensland market has allowed Christian to deal with some the state and country’s most active parties including Endeavour Group (Formerly ALH), Australian Venue Co and Star Liquor Group.

“Adding Christian’s extensive hotel brokerage experience to the JLL Hotels team is incredibly exciting and provides a further strategic advantage for our Queensland and national stakeholders” said John Musca, JLL Hotels Managing Director, Pubs. “JLL Hotels enjoyed a record year in Queensland and nationally in 2021 and we look forward to having expanded capacity with Christian joining Mark Walsh and Tom Gleeson to expand the market-leading hospitality transaction team.”

“The weight of capital looking to enter the Queensland market across pubs, motels and caravan parks is immense. Combining the current momentum within the Queensland hospitality market with the extensive JLL platform greatly positions us to work with stakeholder investment mandates, and is something I am thrilled to be a part of moving forward,” said Mr Tsalikis.
