Restore Capital

Restore Capital is a Virginia-based private equity firm specializing in real estate loans and investments. Founded by Brian Castel, the firm has financed over $650 million in real estate projects throughout the DC Metro area since 2008. The company launched its first investment fund in 2016 under the RC Investments brand to acquire and operate income-producing residential properties. Since then, RC Investments has grown to offer a number of fund options, each with its own strengths and investment strategy to match various investing styles.

The firm's mission is to be a launching pad for new investors and a growth accelerator for experienced investors by offering exceptional service, flexible financing, and institutional-quality investments. Restore Capital focuses on distressed and special situations investments, providing creative financing solutions in the consumer, retail, commercial, wholesale, and manufacturing industries. They specialize in transforming brownfield and underutilized sites, focusing on heavy industrial and power-intensive uses with a clear path back to market.

Restore Capital's approach includes direct lending and opportunistic credit, alternative credit, and distressed debt and special situations. They maintain the flexibility to structure deals and provide capital solutions where traditional capital providers may fall short. The firm leverages decades of asset valuation experience and brand expertise to provide and unlock additional capital for companies in need of financing. Their in-house expertise in private equity, environmental policy, wetlands regulation, zoning, power assessment, and construction management uniquely positions them to self-finance, design, and execute projects beyond conventional real estate redevelopment.
