Capital Square, a prominent sponsor of tax-advantaged real estate investments and an active developer and manager of housing communities, has been named to the 2025 Inc. 5000 list of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. This marks the ninth consecutive year the firm has achieved this recognition, highlighting its consistent expansion and market presence.
The company's three-year growth rate of 54% earned it the No. 4,918 ranking on the 2025 Inc. 5000. Within Virginia, Capital Square ranked 271, and it placed 118 among real estate firms nationally. Founded in 2012, Capital Square first appeared on the Inc. 5000 in 2017 and has maintained its position annually since.
Louis Rogers, founder and co-chief executive officer, attributed the achievement to the firm's three core pillars: investing in tax-advantaged real estate, developing properties in opportunity zones and elsewhere, and managing its growing asset portfolio. “Each of these pillars contributes to the overall growth and success of the firm,” Rogers stated. “We are pleased that this growth has been recognized by Inc. for nine years in a row.”
Whitson Huffman, co-chief executive officer and chief investment officer, echoed the sentiment, emphasizing the dedication of the Capital Square team. “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,” Huffman said. “Ranking among the top real estate firms nationally and as one of the fastest-growing companies in the U.S. highlights Capital Square's strong position in a highly competitive industry.”
Capital Square has expanded rapidly since its inception, launching several new divisions in recent years. In 2019, the company established a development arm that has delivered 979 mixed-use apartment units and is currently constructing or planning an additional 1,020 units. Many of these projects are situated within qualified opportunity zones, positioning Capital Square as a leading sponsor of qualified opportunity zone funds. Notable developments include Otis, recognized as 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, the firm launched Capital Square Living, a wholly owned subsidiary to manage its growing multifamily portfolio of over 40 apartment communities across the Southeast. Capital Square Living was named one of Multi-Housing News' Top Multifamily Property Management Companies of 2024, ranking No. 71 nationwide in only its second year of operation.
Since 2012, Capital Square has sponsored more than 140 investment offerings and acquired over 175 real estate assets, with investor distributions exceeding $543 million. In January 2024, the firm earned the prestigious AMO® (Accredited Management Organization) accreditation from IREM®, the Institute of Real Estate Management.
