Larken Associates has promoted David Eickmeyer to chief investment officer, touting his role in supporting the firm’s growing portfolio of commercial and multifamily properties.
In his new post, Eickmeyer will oversee the company’s short- and long-term investment strategies while collaborating closely with its executive team, driving operational efficiency and identifying value-add opportunities across the portfolio, according to a news release. He’ll also continue to lead commercial asset management operations, company-wide budget planning and insurance and risk management practices.
Eickmeyer joined the Branchburg-based team in 2017, Larken said, citing his role in asset management, internal processes and fostering a shared vision of success among its 164 employees. Its holdings include some 4 million square feet of commercial space and 2,500 residential units.
“Throughout David’s tenure with Larken Associates, his leadership, vision and tireless dedication have been instrumental in building an asset management platform designed for success in today’s complex commercial real estate landscape,” said David Gardner, the firm’s CEO and president. “We congratulate David on this well-deserved promotion which will enable him to continue shaping the direction of our firm for years to come.”
Before joining Larken Associates, Eickmeyer held asset management roles at American Continental Properties, Thor Equities, Cushman & Wakefield and UBS. He earned his MBA from New York University’s Stern School of Business and a bachelor’s in real estate, finance and economics from Penn State University.
“For nearly 60 years, Larken Associates has set the gold standard in residential and commercial development, ownership and asset management,” Eickmeyer said. “I’m honored to have contributed to building this reputation, and I look forward to continuing to support our growth in my new role.”
