Global Head of Capital Markets
Nicholas is the Global Head of Capital Markets, a role he assumed in 2025 following more than 15 years as a leader within Kennedy Wilson’s largest business unit, the U.S. Multifamily Group. In his position, Nicholas heads capital formation and partnerships across the company’s global portfolio, leading a team which sources joint venture partnerships, and raising capital for platforms across the U.S., UK and Ireland. He also oversees the structuring of these partnerships, including financial arrangements, incentives and governance of Kennedy Wilson’s separate accounts and funds. Nicholas is a member of the Global Investment Committee.
Previously, Nicholas managed acquisitions and dispositions within Kennedy Wilson’s Multifamily Group, where he was responsible for buying, selling, and developing over $15 billion of real estate totaling 80,000 units across the Western United States in the past decade. He structured public-private partnerships, led ground-up development and development using low-income housing tax credits, and managed fundraising for the Multifamily Group.
As a multifamily strategy lead, Nicholas led the company into the Mountain West region in 2013, establishing Kennedy Wilson among the first institutional investors to establish a significant presence in markets including Salt Lake City and Boise. Nicholas was also responsible to structuring a unique public-private partnership with California State University Channel Islands to develop Anacapa Canyon in Camarillo, California that generates a significant revenue stream to benefit the campus while delivering much-needed housing to the local community. The project, completed in 2024, resulted in 310-new market rate apartments, 109 for-sale homes, and 170 income-restricted apartments for seniors across 32 acres.
Nicholas is involved in several philanthropic ventures, including serving on the Advisory Board of LEAP Housing, a Boise-based non-profit focused on affordable housing. He holds a B.A. in Economics from the University of California, San Diego.
