Rockwood Capital, LLC

What Rockwood Capital, LLC does

Rockwood Capital, LLC is a privately held real estate investment management firm founded in 1995 and headquartered in New York (with a listed address in White Plains). It operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary and North American affiliate of Harrison Street Asset Management (HSAM), the ultimate parent that aggregates $109 billion in assets under management across real estate, infrastructure, and credit strategies through 19 global offices and 600+ team members. Following the October 2025 integration of HSAM's North American investment management businesses, Rockwood Capital was consolidated alongside Harrison Street Real Estate Capital and Harrison Street Private Wealth under a single unified global platform, while European affiliates (Basalt Infrastructure Partners, RoundShield Capital, and the Colliers Global Investors entities) retain their existing brands and mandates.

Rockwood Capital's core offering is demographic-driven real estate investment management focused on growth, resilience, and long-term value across North America. Within the broader HSAM platform, the firm's capabilities are complemented by infrastructure strategies targeting mission-critical assets for essential services, decarbonization, and digitization, and credit strategies spanning US real estate lending and European asset-backed credit. Products are distributed through closed-end funds, open-end vehicles, and specialized structures to institutional investors (the primary segment) and, post-consolidation, private wealth clients via Harrison Street Private Wealth.

The firm generates revenue through recurring management fees calculated as a percentage of assets under management, supplemented by performance-based carried interest on closed-end fund vintages. The firm employs a sales-led, relationship-driven go-to-market model supported by dedicated relationship managers and a marketing program that combines thought leadership content, executive media appearances, and industry conference participation. In December 2025, Rockwood completed the sale of its Midtown office tower near Grand Central Terminal for $273 million to Sovereign Partners, a transaction that realized roughly $409 per square foot versus a prior 2020 valuation of approximately $580 million.
