In his new role, Eickmeyer will oversee the short and long-term investment strategies for Larken Associates’ nearly four-million-square-foot commercial and 2,500-unit residential portfolio. Collaborating closely with the firm’s executive team, he will drive operational efficiency and identify value add opportunities across the portfolio.
Since joining Larken in 2017, Eickmeyer has been a key contributor to the firm’s asset management team, consistently driving collaboration, streamlining internal processes and fostering a shared vision of success among its 164 employees.
In addition to supporting the company’s long-term growth objectives, Eickmeyer will continue to lead commercial asset management operations, company-wide budget planning and its insurance and risk management practices.
“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,” David Gardner, president and CEO of Larken Associates, said. “We congratulate David on this well-deserved promotion which will enable him to continue shaping the direction of our firm for years to come.”
Eickmeyer added, “For nearly 60 years, Larken Associates has set the gold standard in residential and commercial development, ownership and asset management. I’m honored to have contributed to building this reputation, and I look forward to continuing to support our growth in my new role.”
