Jim Barton
Senior Vice President
Jim Barton is a highly accomplished commercial real estate executive with nearly four decades of experience advising corporations, institutional clients, and business leaders on complex real estate strategies and transactions.
Based in Central Florida, Jim has developed extensive expertise in tenant representation, corporate real estate advisory, leasing, acquisitions, dispositions, lease restructures, and subleasing. Throughout his career, he has represented clients across a diverse range of industries, including banking, healthcare, defense contracting, legal services, manufacturing, insurance, and technology.
Prior to joining Savills in 2013, Jim worked with JLL, where he was responsible for leasing more than 3.2 million square feet of commercial real estate on behalf of institutional and corporate property owners. This experience on the ownership side of the transaction provided Jim with a deep understanding of landlord objectives, negotiation strategies, and the financial considerations that drive real estate decisions.
Today, Jim uses that experience to help clients evaluate opportunities, navigate complex negotiations, minimize occupancy costs, and develop real estate strategies that support their broader business objectives.
With deep roots in the Greater Orlando market and decades of industry knowledge, Jim brings a seasoned, strategic perspective to every assignment. His ability to understand both sides of a transaction allow him to anticipate challenges, identify leverage, and advocate effectively for the clients he represents.
Jim’s approach is built around relationships, market knowledge, strategic thinking, and a commitment to delivering long term value through commercial real estate.
“After years of building and working on a Tenant Representation Platform, I am excited to expand my service offerings by combining Landlord and Tenant commercial real estate services with the Equity Commercial Platform. This expanded platform will allow me to provide clients with a more comprehensive range of services, greater resources, and enhanced value throughout the commercial real estate process.”
