Inc. 5000 Recognizes Capital Square as One of the Fastest-Growing Private Companies for Eighth Consecutive Year
RICHMOND, Va. (Aug. 27, 2024) – Capital Square, one of the nation’s leading sponsors of tax-advantaged real estate investments and an active developer and manager of housing communities, has been named one of Inc. 5000’s fastest-growing private companies in America for the eighth consecutive year.
“When we formed Capital Square in 2012, I could not have dreamed that the firm would acquire over $7 billion of real estate and make the Inc. 5000 list for eight years in a row,” said Louis Rogers, founder and co-chief executive officer of Capital Square. “It has been a thrilling ride, with many accolades, and I am convinced that the best is yet to come.”
With a three-year growth rate of 136%, Capital Square ranked 3,526 on the 2024 Inc. 5000 list, which is comprised of the 5,000 fastest-growing private firms in America based on a three-year percentage of revenue growth rate. Additionally, Capital Square ranked 81 in real estate nationally on the Inc. 5000 list. Founded in 2012, Capital Square was first named to the Inc. 5000 list in 2017.
“It is a testament to the skill, professionalism and dedication of the Capital Square team that our firm has been selected as one of the fastest-growing private companies for eight consecutive years,” said Whitson Huffman, co-chief executive officer. “In particular, our national ranking as the 81st fastest growing real estate firm is very gratifying given the highly competitive nature of the industry and the challenges it has encountered in recent years.”
