Quarter Circle Capital Joins with Aspect Venture Partners and Kuehl Capital to Form QCC Holdings, LLC
Omaha, Nebraska (PRWEB) March 16, 2016 -- The principals of Quarter Circle Capital, LLC, in conjunction with Aspect Venture Partners, LLC (AVP), an affiliate of Kuehl Capital Corporation (KCC), a FINRA registered broker/dealer, are pleased to announce the formation of a new commercial real estate investment management organization, to be known as QCC Holdings, LLC (QCC), which will continue to do business as Quarter Circle Capital. The aforementioned companies each bring their own specific talents to the newly formed entity which will allow the new company to build on an established corporate infrastructure and broaden its core group of investors.
Working on behalf of its investors, QCC’s business plan will remain consistent with Quarter Circle’s long-standing investment strategy, QCC will continue its practice of making principal investments in fundamentally sound real estate, or debt secured by real estate, that has been impaired by any one or all of the following pre-existing conditions: the stress of an onerous capital structure; the effects of changing market conditions; poor asset management decisions on the part of past owners. After closing, QCC will work to restructure the property’s balance sheet to mitigate any unfavorable debt terms, and then invests the necessary capital to make building improvements that will maximize value and expedite resale.
“We are pleased to announce the formation of a new partnership with the principals of Quarter Circle Capital, a business relationship that dates back over a decade when many of our key partners assisted with the formation and funding of the Magnum Opportunity Fund I. Our past experience in the commercial real estate industry, coupled with performance and integrity, leads us to be optimistic about the future of the business plan,” said Todd L. Engle, Managing Director of Kuehl Capital Corporation.
“The creation of this new QCC Holdings entity really constitutes a reunion of former colleagues who have worked successfully together in early incarnations of Quarter Circle Capital’s growth, which allows for a degree of respect that ordinarily takes years to achieve,” said Kelly A. Walters, Chief Executive Officer of Quarter Circle Capital, and Partner at Aspect Venture Partners, LLC.
“All of the necessary ingredients are in place in the newly formed entity to achieve a true ‘plug and play’ situation – from the talent of the principals - to the strength of the sponsoring platform of Aspect Venture Partners and Kuehl Capital,” said Starr P. Schulke, Chief Investment Officer.
