Hirth is primarily responsible for the company’s portfolio of 33 multifamily properties in the Southeast, and Jerad Nielson is primarily responsible for net-leased medical, office, industrial and retail properties.

“Capital Square employs an asset management structure where a designated asset manager is the ‘quarterback’ of the management team for each property,” said Louis Rogers, founder and chief executive officer of Capital Square. “The asset managers specialize in specific property types to maximize efficiency.

He added, “Chris and Jerad have demonstrated their exceptional expertise through the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic, and in spite of everything, their portfolios have performed remarkably well.”

During the month of May, Capital Square collected 99 percent of the total rent due throughout its multifamily portfolio.

He began his career in asset management with PRG Real Estate Management.
