JLC Infrastructure

JLC Infrastructure

JLC Infrastructure launched in 2015 when Loop Capital and Magic Johnson Enterprises combined their respective public-finance networks and operational branding. The firm was built as a 100% minority-controlled investor and asset manager, keying its identity on the premise that aligning investors with the communities served by portfolio assets produces durable returns. James Reynolds Jr. and Earvin Johnson sit in senior management alongside President Eric Holoman, with offices in New York and Chicago. The firm pursues transportation, communications, energy, utilities, and social infrastructure assets, concentrating deal activity in the US. Its investment portfolio spans public-private partnership projects and direct equity positions across renewable power, digital infrastructure, and large-scale transport. Current holdings include the on-campus student housing strategy, the Port of Los Angeles Outer Harbor Cruise Terminal, MasParc (the Miami university mobility system), Hudson Yards CoGen in New York, and the JFK New Terminal One project alongside AOC Connect, Greenskies clean energy, and the LaGuardia Airport Terminal B redevelopment. JLC also maintains exposure through Sustainability Partners, the Denver International Airport Great Hall modernization, and the LAX Cargo Modernization Project. JLC has assembled a dedicated team covering buy-side origination, execution, and asset management, led by investment professionals Robert Keough, Marlon R. Smith, Andrew Kim, and Eric Lane, supported by an in-house investor relations group. The firm does not publicly disclose assets under management or total capital deployed. In May 2024, the firm maintained its active portfolio reporting across realized and current infrastructure assets, signaling ongoing asset management rather than a wind-down posture (per the firm, May 2024). JLC's structure fuses the municipal advisory heritage of minority-owned investment bank Loop Capital with the brand and community-access ethos of Magic Johnson Enterprises. This pairing gives the firm a differentiated sourcing lane: it competes for middle-market infrastructure deals by leveraging long-standing government and municipal relationships that generalist infrastructure funds rarely match.
