Real Capital Partners deploys capital into middle-market operating platforms across self-storage, car wash, logistics, and proprietary technology. Capital partners invest alongside Chris Harris and Rob Consalvo, who build and run the businesses rather than just allocating to them.
Real Capital is an investment holding company, not a blind-pool fund. Chris Harris and Rob Consalvo build, operate, and scale the businesses they invest in, which means every capital partner invests alongside principals who run payroll, sign leases, and hire general managers rather than reviewing quarterly reports from a distance.
The model has produced a $700 million exit in self-storage (iStorage to NYSE:NSA in 2016), an $80 million recapitalization in logistics (JLE Industries in 2018), and a current $1 billion-plus platform in Store Space that continues to acquire across the national self-storage footprint.
Explore Co-InvestmentCapital partners gain access to the full operational stack that Harris and Consalvo have built over two decades: acquisitions sourcing, construction and renovations, administrative and compliance support, buyouts and recapitalizations, proprietary software development through Storage360, and data analytics across every portfolio company.
The result is that a capital partner invests into an operator-led platform where the principals have already deployed and proven the infrastructure before outside capital enters the deal.
