Jeffrey Hyman joins Grubb & Ellis as Senior Vice President, Senior Housing Practice Group in Chicago

CHICAGO, IL – Grubb & Ellis Company (NYSE: GBE), a leading real estate services and investment firm, announced that Jeffrey Hyman (top right photo) has joined the firm as senior vice president and a member of the company’s Senior Housing practice group.

In this role, Hyman will be responsible for representing owners and operators of senior housing facilities in the Chicago area and regionally, further enhancing Grubb & Ellis’ capabilities in this sector. 

 In August, the company hired Alan Ursillo (lower left photo) as executive managing director of the Senior Housing practice group, responsible for leading the expansion of the company’s capabilities and commitment to provide fully integrated real estate services platform for clients in the senior housing sector.

“Bringing Jeff on board significantly bolsters our efforts to establish senior housing expertise in key markets throughout the country,” said Ursillo. 


“With his background leading acquisition and development efforts for a number of high-profile senior and residential housing communities, Jeff has a keen awareness of what it takes for an investor and developer to succeed in this growing property segment.”

Most recently, Hyman was vice president of real estate acquisition for a privately held development firm, where he was responsible for all aspects of land acquisition including site selection, site planning and development for senior lifestyle communities. 

 Prior to assuming this role in 2006, Hyman was director of land acquisition and entitlement for five years at Burnside Construction and Management, where he directed operations related to the development of active adult development projects, among others.  Previously, he was vice president and managing director of Chicago Ocean Atlantic Companies, Chicago, which he joined in 1994.

“Being a part of Grubb & Ellis provides the opportunity to work with experts in a number of complementary disciplines, bringing tremendous resources and support to my clients and my business,” said Hyman.

 “In addition, Alan and his team represent one of the best – if not the best – senior housing teams in the country.  It was also extremely important to me that I work with people who share my passion for the senior housing sector and the people it serves, as the team at Grubb & Ellis does.”

Hyman is a member of the Real Estate Investment Association.  He received his bachelor’s degree from Northern Illinois University and is a licensed real estate broker in the state of Illinois.
