Lone Star Capital Group is a private equity firm focused on identifying and building businesses with durable competitive advantages across select industries.

Who We Are

A Foundation Built on Conviction

Lone Star Capital Group LLC is a Florida-based private equity firm committed to long-term value creation. We partner with management teams and entrepreneurs across high-conviction sectors, deploying disciplined capital where we have proprietary insight and operational expertise.

We think in decades, not quarters. Our hold periods reflect patience, not urgency, and our exits are strategic, not reactive.

Our Firm

Who We Are

A private equity firm built on conviction, discipline, and a long-term commitment to value creation.

Our Story

Built for the Long Term.

Lone Star Capital Group LLC was founded with a singular purpose: to build and acquire businesses and assets that create enduring value for our partners and stakeholders. Based in Florida and operating across the United States, we bring together decades of combined experience in private equity, real estate, and business operations to identify opportunities where disciplined capital and hands-on management can make a meaningful difference. We are not a large institution deploying capital across hundreds of positions. We are a focused firm — selective by design — choosing fewer opportunities so we can commit more deeply to each one.

"We believe the best investments are built on conviction, not consensus."

Principles

What We Stand For

Integrity

We do what we say. Our reputation is our most valuable asset, and we protect it in every interaction, every deal, and every decision.

Discipline

We pass on far more deals than we pursue. Our returns are a product of patience and selectivity, not volume.

Partnership

We view every stakeholder relationship — whether investor, operator, or seller — as a long-term partnership, not a transaction.

Accountability

We take ownership of outcomes. When things go wrong, we don't point fingers — we solve problems.

Differentiators

How We're Different

Concentrated Portfolio

We hold fewer positions with deeper conviction and involvement.

Operator Mindset

Our team has built and run businesses — not just invested in them.

Permanent Capital Orientation

We are not pressured by fund timelines or LP redemptions.

Investment Division

Development & Acquisitions

A disciplined approach to real estate development, value-add acquisitions, and strategic land investment across the United States.

Overview

Platform Focus

Our Development & Acquisitions platform is focused on the most capital-efficient, lowest-risk asset types in real estate development today. We target self-storage, prefab and modular ADU communities, and small-bay light industrial — three asset classes that share a common thesis: simple construction, strong demand fundamentals, predictable cost structures, and durable cash flow from day one. We deploy with conservative underwriting, favor off-market sourcing, and target opportunities where our operational discipline and speed of execution create an advantage unavailable to passive or institutional capital.

Capital-Efficient

Low-Complexity Asset Focus

5–9 Months

Typical Build Timeline

$2M–$15M

Target Deal Size

Off-Market

Primary Sourcing Preference

Approach

Our Development Strategy

Self-Storage (Drive-Up)

The most capital-efficient build in commercial real estate. Pre-engineered metal buildings go up in 5–7 months, require no complex systems, and generate immediate cash flow. Month-to-month leases adjust instantly to inflation with zero tenant improvement costs — making this one of the most resilient, lowest-overhead assets available.

Prefab / Modular ADU Development

Factory-built accessory dwelling units deliver the lowest absolute capital entry per door in residential development — at 40–60% of traditional site-built costs. With ADU permit applications surging nationally and entitlement timelines shrinking in key markets, this strategy offers fast deployment, predictable fixed-price builds, and strong rental demand in supply-constrained urban markets.

Small-Bay Light Industrial / Flex Space

The fastest-growing commercial product type by demand, with sub-4% vacancy in most U.S. markets. Simple PEMB construction, NNN leases, and broad tenant demand from tradespeople, small businesses, and last-mile operators create a durable, low-management income stream with institutional exit demand.

Parameters

What We Look For

Asset Types

Self-storage facilities, prefab/modular ADU communities, small-bay light industrial and flex space

Market Focus

Supply-constrained U.S. markets with high barrier to entry and strong population growth

Deal Size

$2M–$15M per transaction depending on asset type and scale

Risk Profile

Capital-efficient, low-complexity builds with predictable cost structures and strong demand fundamentals

Hold Period

3–7 years typical; shorter for ADU and self-storage upon stabilization

Sourcing

Off-market preferred; direct landowner outreach, tax auctions, distressed situations, and broker relationships

Discipline

How We Underwrite

Every investment begins with a fundamental question: what is the downside? We underwrite to worst-case assumptions first, stress-test exit scenarios across three market conditions, and never underwrite to terminal cap rate compression. Our returns are built on cash flow, operational improvement, and basis — not financial engineering.

Lowest Capital Deployment Per Door

We target asset types that minimize capital outlay per revenue-generating unit, maximizing return on every dollar deployed.

Fastest Path to Stabilized Cash Flow

Short build timelines and strong demand fundamentals mean our projects generate income quickly, reducing carry risk and accelerating returns.

Basis-Driven, Downside-First Underwriting

Returns are created at acquisition through favorable basis and conservative assumptions — not optimistic exit pricing or cap rate compression.
