Chapman Group Announces Over $30M in Capital Raised in Second Half of 2025
New York City, New York – November 12, 2025 – Chapman Group, a private investment group based in New York, NY, announced today it has successfully raised over $30 million in new capital during the third and fourth quarters of 2025. The firm has already begun deploying these funds, allocating $22 million to commercial real estate assets in high-growth "Sun Belt" markets and the remainder to acquisitions of small-to-mid-sized businesses.
The core of the deployment, a $22 million fund, is targeting commercial real estate in three of the nation's most resilient markets: Miami, Florida; Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas; and Nashville, Tennessee.
"This successful capital raise is a testament to our partners' confidence in our strategic, data-driven approach to investment," said Dean Gibbons, CEO of Chapman Group. "We are not just chasing trends; we are investing in markets and sectors with proven fundamentals. Our focus on these high-growth southern cities positions our portfolio to capitalize on significant economic and demographic tailwinds."
The firm's strategic rationale for these investments includes:
Dallas-Fort Worth, TX: This market continues to be the #1 target for commercial real estate investment in the U.S. Its strength is fueled by unparalleled corporate relocation and robust, nation-leading job growth, which in turn drives demand for all asset classes.
Miami, FL: A top-tier international gateway, Miami's real estate market remains exceptionally resilient. It is a national leader in the return-to-office movement, and its performance is buoyed by strong domestic and international migration, keeping commercial rents and property values at all-time highs.
Nashville, TN: As the top-ranked multifamily investment market in the nation for 2025, Nashville is experiencing a boom in population and job growth. This has created a supply-demand imbalance, particularly in the multifamily and retail sectors, offering prime investment opportunities.
The remaining funds, totaling over $8 million, are being allocated to diversify the group's portfolio through the acquisition of businesses in non-cyclical and high-growth service sectors. These include wholesale good manufacturers and travel operations.
"Our diversification strategy is twofold," Dean added. "Investing in wholesale good manufacturers provides a stable, B2B-focused foundation for our portfolio. These businesses are the backbone of the supply chain and offer predictable cash flow, insulated from the volatility of consumer retail.
"Simultaneously, our investment in travel operations captures the robust growth of the 'experience economy.' Despite other economic pressures, domestic leisure travel continues to be a high priority for American consumers, making it a powerful service sector for growth."
Chapman Group is actively seeking new opportunities in its target sectors.
