2005: CapGrow Is Founded

Founded by Matt Pettinelli with a goal of creating the best in class real estate solutions for the behavioral health industry. CapGrow acquires its first single-family home for an I/DD provider in Texas. This is the beginning of our “one home at a time” mission.

CapGrow acquires their 100th home which expands community-based housing to more than 500 individuals. Our initial mission to support the real estate needs of provider organizations across the United States signifies a tangible impact.

As a the key real estate partner for a regional I/DD provider, CapGrow was asked to assist in an M&A opportunity in Texas. Our 500th home was acquired as part of a 25 property acquisition valued at $5.4 million.

CapGrow acquired the largest number of homes in a single transaction. The sale/leaseback included 308 homes spanning 14 states and valued at $87 million. This opportunity significantly broadened our national footprint.

CapGrow recapitalized into a non-traded REIT expanding our access to committed capital and further enabling our exclusive commitment in community-based housing investments for behavioral health providers.

This sale/leaseback totaling $102 million with a mental health treatment provider marks CapGrow’s greatest monetary investment in a single deal. This opportunity diversifies our investment in mental health services and supports in California.

CapGrow is honored to celebrate our 20th anniversary. Years of longevity-informed, strategic partnerships have enabled mutually beneficial relationships with 70 providers, spanning 42 states, caring for more than 5,300 individuals in 1,300 leased properties. Meet our behavioral health partners.

Flexibility is everything in behavioral healthcare.
