Investing with Purpose
Curbstone Capital creates high-impact investment pathways by focusing on real estate and entrepreneurial ventures in underserved markets.


Invest in Impact with Curbstone Capital
At Curbstone Capital, we believe that investing with purpose is more than a philosophy. It is the foundation of everything we do. True to our name, we operate at the intersection of capital and community, backing real estate and entrepreneurial ventures in overlooked markets. Where others see barriers, we see building blocks.
Our mission-driven strategy is rooted in identifying structural inefficiencies and unlocking value through disciplined, impact-aligned investments. We deploy capital with intention, guided by rigorous underwriting, long-term vision, and a commitment to delivering both measurable impact and risk-adjusted returns.
For our investors, Curbstone offers access to differentiated deal flow, institutional-quality execution, and the opportunity to participate in shaping communities without compromising performance. We believe the path to durable value is paved with purpose.
Mission-Driven Strategy
We don’t just invest in assets; we invest in outcomes that matter.
Specialized Real Esate Focus
We focus on infill projects considered too small or complex for institutional capital.
Empowering Underserved Businesses
We support entrepreneurial ventures by providing flexible capital and strategic guidance.
Purpose-built investments. Community-aligned returns.
We focus on neighborhood-friendly real estate projects and forward-looking business opportunities to unlock innovative approaches to equity yields and investor returns.
Because our work prioritizes long-term value over short-term gains, we align with investment partners who share our commitment to community impact and understand the trade-offs required to deliver lasting, meaningful outcomes.
Our mission is to invest in communities where we can maximize impact and returns by elevating the quality of the places we live and the spaces where we do business.

Experienced. Collaborative. Committed.
Our team brings together nearly forty years of combined experience in commercial real estate, with expertise spanning project management, property and asset management, design, planning, and development.
We have worked cross-functionally on complex projects, collaborating with architects, engineers, lenders, and community stakeholders to move ideas from concept to execution. What unites us is a shared commitment to thoughtful collaboration and to delivering value at every stage of the real estate lifecycle.
