Bio
Robert Manekin is a Markets’ Managing Director, focusing on tenant representation services and training. He serves as the director of Mid Atlantic Training and is active on the national level. Since heading JLL’s successful Broker Know How! program in June, 2016, he has created, produced and/or given more than 190 training programs attended by more than 6,300 participants.
A 45 year industry veteran with experience in development, property management, and brokerage, Bob has participated in hundreds of transactions with an aggregate lease value in excess of $1 Billion dollars. He has earned numerous awards from CoStar (Power Broker), the Baltimore Business Journal (Heavy Hitter awards), several political jurisdictions, and the Maryland Department of Economic Development (Award of Excellence) for his work.
During a 15 year stint at his family’s commercial and industrial real estate firm, Bob focused on property management (8 years) and real estate development (7 years). He then left the family business to concentrate on commercial brokerage from the tenant perspective. After stints with such national firms as Studley and Staubach, as well as running local and regional brokerage firms, Bob joined JLL via its acquisition of the Baltimore Colliers’ affiliate, of which he was a principal.
As a broker focusing on tenant representation, he has participated in the largest office leases in the history of Baltimore (e.g. 526,000 SF build to suit for the Social Security Administration) and the T. Rowe Price headquarters lease (536,000 SF), as well as several large transactions for law firms such as Venable, Miles & Stockbridge, and Ober Kahler (now Baker Donelson).
Bob served as an Adjunct Faculty member at the Johns Hopkins Carey School of Business, teaching marketing of commercial real estate. He has lectured at a variety of colleges and universities including MIT, the Kenan-Flagler School of Business at UNC – Chapel Hill, the University of Baltimore and Towson University. He has also written several articles for the Association of Legal Administrators, the Baltimore Business Journal and Smart CEO Magazine.
