Capital Square Earns Spot on Inc. 5000 List
Capital Square, a prominent player in the real estate industry, has achieved a significant milestone by being named to the 2025 Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in the United States. This marks the ninth consecutive year the firm has received this prestigious recognition, underscoring its status as a leader in tax-advantaged real estate investments.
Founded in 2012, Capital Square specializes in sponsoring investment opportunities that take advantage of the tax benefits associated with real estate, particularly in opportunity zones. Its founder and co-CEO, Louis Rogers, credits the firm's success to its well-structured approach, defined by three key pillars: Invest, Build, and Manage. "Each of these pillars contributes to the overall growth and success of the firm," he stated, highlighting the comprehensive nature of their operations.
With a remarkable three-year growth rate of 54%, Capital Square ranked 4,918 on the 2025 Inc. 5000 list, showcasing its impressive trajectory in a competitive market. Additionally, the firm achieved notable rankings within Virginia, coming in at 271, and making it to the 118th position in the real estate sector nationwide.
In acknowledgment of this achievement, Whitson Huffman, co-CEO and Chief Investment Officer at Capital Square, remarked, "It is a testament to the talent and dedication of the Capital Square team that we have earned a place on the Inc. 5000 list for nine consecutive years." This persistence among the top real estate firms illustrates Capital Square's strong foothold in the market as it continues to thrive in a challenging economic climate.
Capital Square has undergone rapid expansion since its establishment, launching various new divisions that have contributed to its robust portfolio. In 2019, the firm introduced a development arm that has successfully delivered 979 mixed-use apartment units, with plans to construct another 1,020 units. Many of these projects are strategically situated within qualified opportunity zones, enhancing Capital Square's position as one of the country's leading sponsors of opportunity zone funds. Noteworthy projects include Otis, which was awarded CoStar's 2024 Multifamily Development of the Year, and Maeve, which received ENR Texas Southeast's 2025 Award of Merit in Residential/Hospitality.
In 2023, Capital Square launched Capital Square Living, a subsidiary dedicated to managing its growing portfolio of multifamily properties, now encompassing over 40 apartment communities across the Southeast. Capital Square Living has already gained recognition as one of Multi-Housing News' Top Multifamily Property Management Companies of 2024, ranking 71st nationwide in just its second year of operation.
Since its inception, Capital Square has sponsored more than 140 investment offerings and acquired over 175 real estate assets, dispersing more than $543 million to investors since its establishment. In early 2024, the firm was awarded the prestigious AMO® accreditation from IREM®, an accomplishment that speaks volumes about its commitment to maintaining high management standards in the industry.
Despite the uncertain landscape surrounding real estate investments, Capital Square's focus on opportunities in tax-advantaged markets continues to yield successful returns. Their diversified service offerings range from due diligence and acquisition to property management and asset disposition, catering to a diverse clientele that includes high-net-worth individuals, private equity firms, family offices, and institutional investors.
