Our Foundation

In 2012, when our founder and co-CEO, Louis Rogers, partnered with colleagues he respected from prior firms, together, they seized their combined expertise across multiple fields to develop a new “investors-first” business model. Shaped by steadfast integrity and entrepreneurial gumption, Capital Square began as a Section 1031/DST sponsor but has since grown to be a diversified real estate manager, operator and developer.

Although Delaware statutory trusts (DSTs) remain the foundation of our business, we have rapidly diversified with numerous development projectsqualified opportunity zone funds, and a real estate investment trust (REIT) .​ From the beginning, Capital Square has reinvested most of its profits into the business. This has accelerated our growth to over $6 billion in assets under management (AUM) and driven our success as a top-tier DST sponsor.
