Beyond The Bio: 16 Questions With R2 Capital Founder/CEO Amar Nijjar
This series profiles men and women in commercial real estate who have profoundly transformed our neighborhoods and reshaped our cities, businesses and lifestyles.
In only one word, Amar Nijjar can be summed up as a leader.

He landed in debt financing, including leading JLL's Debt Capital Markets group, and then decided to venture out on his own, founding R2 Capital. To date, he has funded more than $5.5B and been involved in the underwriting of over $16B worth of real estate.
