Capricorn Capital Group is a private investment and management office investing for its shareholders and investors in direct real estate, including: residential (development), student housing (development) and care (development).​

 

Capricorn Capital Group operates with a team of senior professionals with an extensive background in the banking, real estate and legal sector, from its office in Utrecht, The Netherlands.​

​

History

CCG was established in 2011 for the purpose of acquiring a distressed portfolio consisting of four office buildings. The founders brought extensive experience from both the banking and real estate sectors.

 

At the time of inception, the real estate and financing markets were facing significant challenges. However, drawing on its expertise and creativity, CCG adopted a distinctive approach to identifying opportunities—focusing particularly on value-add properties and innovative financing structures.

 

This strategy enabled CCG to quickly differentiate itself from the broader market. In 2013, the company opened an office on the Maliebaan in Utrecht.

 

In 2014, two new partners joined the firm: a legal expert and a real estate developer. From that point onward, the organization experienced accelerated growth. At its peak, the portfolio represented a value of approximately €750 million. Today, Capricorn Capital Group is actively involved in development projects with a combined value of around €400 million.

 

Services

The main function of Capricorn Capital Group is that of a private investment and management office for its shareholders and a small group of (co-)investors, where it invests with a long investment horizon. Depending on the specific investments, we invite selected investors to (co-)invest along with Capricorn. In some cases we will act as investment/ transaction/ asset manager for our (co-)investors, depending on the deal and the investment size.

 

​Investment Focus

​Our main focus is to add value to our investments, by providing hands on management. A short term sale or exit is not the main aim for our investments; we look at the long-term value added where we first and foremost make our investment decisions based on the strength of the cash flow.​

 

Capricorn is a long term investor and has an investment horizon of 10 year or more,. We have no pressure to achieve private equity or hedge funds returns and also will not be forced to exit our investments in the short to mid-long term.​
