About Us

Our History
At HLI Partners, our journey began with a shared vision and a passion for excellence in commercial real estate. Founding partners Joe Hills and Josh Lipoff brought their combined expertise from some of the nation’s largest commercial real estate firms to create something truly unique. With complementary strengths and distinct perspectives, Joe and Josh recognized the value of collaboration and joined forces to form HLI Partners.
From the outset, HLI Partners was built on three core principles: to be passionate, entrepreneurial, and best in class. These values guide everything we do, shaping our approach to commercial real estate and setting us apart in the Central Florida market.

Today, HLI Partners continues to be a catalyst for success in Central Florida’s commercial real estate market. Whether it’s navigating complex transactions or providing tailored advisory services, we remain dedicated to delivering results that exceed expectations. Our history is rooted in innovation, but our focus is always on the future—helping our clients grow, prosper, and lead in an ever-changing industry.
