CHICAGO, (Jun. 24, 2025) – JLL Capital Markets announced today that George Maravilla and Noah Schott have joined the firm's National Build-to-Rent (BTR) team, effective June 16, 2025. Maravilla joins as Managing Director and Schott as Director, significantly enhancing JLL's specialized capabilities in BTR financing and investment advisory services.
"We're excited to welcome George and Noah to our national BTR platform," said Matthew Putterman, Head of Single Family Rental and BTR at JLL. "George's extensive track record in BTR financing combined with Noah's analytical expertise will allow us to deliver even more comprehensive solutions to our clients in this rapidly expanding sector."
Maravilla joins JLL from Tower Capital, where he served as Partner and established himself as a national leader in the BTR sector, closing more than $2.0 billion in primarily construction financing and joint venture equity across 50 communities in multiple states since 2018. His 14-year tenure at DMB Associates as Director of Finance equipped him with extensive experience managing project-level financial risk and creating sophisticated financial structures for large-scale developments, having evaluated over $700 million in potential acquisitions and developments. An Arizona State University graduate with a degree in Accounting, Maravilla remains actively involved with the Urban Land Institute and National Association of Industrial and Office Properties.
Schott also joins JLL from Tower Capital, where he was involved in over $600 million of debt and equity placement, primarily for BTR communities, over the past two years. Before joining Tower, Schott served as a Capital Markets Analyst with JLL's Chicago-based Debt and Equity team, where he structured financing solutions for commercial real estate borrowers nationwide. His background also includes time spent as an investment analyst at a middle-market real estate-focused asset management firm. A graduate of Lafayette College, Schott earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science. A former collegiate tennis player, Schott maintains his athletic interests through tennis and pickleball while staying professionally engaged with the Urban Land Institute.
"George and Noah bring invaluable expertise in the BTR sector, having financed over 50 communities comprising more than 9,000 units across the country since 2018," added Brad Miner, Senior Managing Director and Co-Office Head in the Phoenix office. "Their industry relationships and specialized knowledge will be tremendous assets as we continue to grow our BTR practice nationally."
