Capital Square

Capital Square Overview
Capital Square has evolved from a pure 1031/DST sponsor into one of the more vertically integrated platforms in the securitized exchange market, with over $6 billion in AUM and more than $7.5 billion in transaction volume since its 2012 founding by Louis Rogers. Beyond sponsoring DSTs across 175-plus assets for some 6,500 investors, the firm develops its own multifamily product, manages roughly 13,000 apartments through Capital Square Living, and diversifies into Qualified Opportunity Zone funds and a REIT. That control of the full lifecycle—and full-cycle results such as a cited 159% return of equity on a completed DST—make it a benchmark name for diligence-minded exchangers.
