RICHMOND, Va., June 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Capital Square, a national investment sponsor specializing in tax-advantaged real estate offerings, announced today that it has promoted Chris Hirth to vice president of asset management and Jerad Nielsen to senior asset manager.

"The asset managers specialize in specific property types to maximize efficiency. Chris Hirth is primarily responsible for the company's growing portfolio of 33 multifamily properties in the Southeast, and Jerad Nielson is primarily responsible for net-leased medical, office, industrial and retail properties across the nation. 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."
Rogers noted that with guidance from Mike Waddell, president at Capital Square, and able assistance from Maggie Scott, Hirth and Nielsen have been able to lead their portfolios through challenged times and they have produced exceptional rent collection and occupancy. During the month of May, Capital Square collected 99% of the total rent due throughout its multifamily portfolio.
