RICHMOND, Va.

“Capital Square employs a team of asset managers who oversee the management of properties,” said Louis Rogers, founder and chief executive officer of Capital Square. “Hirth and Nielsen have mastered the art of asset management. Under their watch, real estate assets have grown to over $4 billion from 128 individual properties. Their portfolios have performed well above projected pro forma in spite of a global pandemic that closed material portions of the economy. For example, multifamily rent collections have exceeded 99% for over two years.”

He is primarily responsible for the oversight of Capital Square’s growing portfolio of multifamily properties throughout the southeastern United States. Prior to joining Capital Square, Hirth was a senior real estate manager at CBRE, a global leader in commercial real estate services and investment.

His main responsibilities include the management of net-leased medical, office, industrial and retail properties across the nation. Prior to joining Capital Square, Nielsen worked as a senior portfolio manager with Cushman & Wakefield, where he managed a diverse five million-square-foot portfolio of commercial properties comprised of office, medical, education, retail, and industrial assets on behalf of federal and state agencies, as well as multiple Fortune 500 companies.
