Ep #41: A candid conversation with the Founder of American Eagle Capital Partners – Arndt Nicklisch

Our special guest this week is Arndt Nicklisch, Founder of American Eagle Capital Partners, headquartered in New York, NY.  American Eagle Capital Partners is a private real estate investment firm that acquires and operates suburban office properties in select major metropolitan markets throughout the United States.

Prior to forming American Eagle Capital Partners, Mr. Nicklisch served in many high-profile roles with both private and publically traded Real Estate Equity firms. His experience and high level of expertise in the commercial real estate space is unsurpassed and I'm positive you'll enjoy our candid conversation with Arndt as we uncover we he got his start and how he's made it to where he is today.
