What Capital Solutions does

Capital Solutions, Inc. is a privately held real estate investment firm founded in 1991 and headquartered in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania. The firm specializes in providing equity capital for real estate opportunities, working with experienced operating and development partners across all major U.S. asset classes including multifamily, student housing, office and industrial, medical office, retail, and senior living. As a principal investor, Capital Solutions deploys personal capital alongside its network of private and institutional investors, with approximately $578 million of equity currently committed across a portfolio representing over $2 billion in total asset value and over $1 billion in transactions facilitated since 2001.

The firm operates through a direct, relationship-driven origination model targeting mid-to-large real estate sponsors seeking equity for ground-up development, acquisitions, repositioning, value-add investments, and core-plus acquisitions. Portfolio holdings span the Southeast, Southwest, Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, and Northeast regions of the United States. Capital Solutions has also deployed capital outside its core real estate focus through a minority-held investment in Eleison, a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company developing orphan cancer treatments.

The firm's leadership team is led by founding principal and president Frank Seidman, alongside principals Fran Donato, Nimish Sanghrajka, Jared Zeisler, Jason Morganroth, and Rami Hakim, supported by a dedicated asset management function. Revenue is generated through transaction-based economics typical of equity principal investing, including asset management fees, acquisition and disposition fees, and promoted interest on co-investments. No public pricing, fee schedule, or standardized fund structure is published, with each transaction structured individually based on deal specifics.
