Beyond The Bio: 16 Questions With R2 Capital Founder/CEO Amar NijjarThis 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. The founder of Toronto-based R2 Capital, an online platform that quickly earned a name for itself in the Canadian marketplace by connecting property owners and developers with property investors, Nijjar jumped headfirst into his career in real estate shortly after receiving an MBA from Toronto's York University. 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. But Nijjar's focus is not solely on real estate. In his spare time, he also founded an organization called Educate Kids, a nonprofit that works to provide underprivileged children around the world with the resources they need to achieve success later in life. |
