Biography

J. Patrick Thornton II is a 30-year commercial real estate industry veteran representing large users of office and industrial space in a wide array of real estate transactions. As Principal of Brokerage for NAI Hallmark, Patrick has an extensive record of guiding local and national clients with their commercial real estate acquisitions, lease obligation, asset reposition, and dispositions. His specialties include strategic planning, asset management, space utilization, and financial structuring.

Patrick joined the Hallmark team in November of 1996 and quickly established himself as a critical contributor to the company’s success. Over the course of his twenty-four years with Hallmark, Patrick has leased over 1 million square feet of office and industrial space and continues to actively mentor junior associates joining the firm.

Patrick’s contribution to the fabric of the Jacksonville community transcends his involvement in the commercial real estate world.

Testimonials

“After acquiring the building, we only intended to occupy a portion. We then engaged NAI Hallmark’s leasing team and they were able to lease up the entire building in short order. The leasing group provided us terrific insight to the leasing process and really views negotiations from an owner’s perspective.”
