Madison Capital Group Overview
Madison Capital Group (MCG) is a vertically-integrated U.S. real estate investment and development platform, founded in 2009 by Ryan Hanks and headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina. The firm’s core asset verticals include suburban multifamily housing, self-storage facilities, and boat & RV storage, with additional ambitions in commercial retail and net-lease development under its newer divisions. By combining development, acquisition, and operations under one roof, MCG aims to manage every phase of the real-estate lifecycle — from land acquisition and construction to long-term asset management — giving investors a comprehensive platform for diversified real estate exposure.
Through its subsidiary network — including Madison Communities for multifamily, Go Store It for self-storage, BlueGate for boat/RV storage, Madison Commercial for retail/net-lease properties, and Madison Capital Markets for capital raising and 1031-exchange offerings — Madison Capital Group maintains a broad and diversified real-estate footprint. The company targets Sunbelt and growing markets for multifamily, while self-storage and specialty storage assets allow geographic and sector diversification — giving investors both growth potential and income stability from different real-estate segments.
While MCG does not publicly disclose a standard IRR or average annual return metric, their diversified strategy — combining recurring-income assets (storage, multifamily rentals) with value-add and development opportunities — positions them as a full-service real-estate sponsor for investors seeking both yield and growth. Their use of structured capital-markets offerings (including 1031 exchange / DST vehicles) further enables tax-efficient and passive investment entry for qualified investors. For those looking for a broad real-estate platform under one manager, Madison Capital Group offers a multi-pronged

"Preferred Equity in Boat & RV Storage"
I invested with Madison Capital in the development of two boat and RV storage facilities located in Tennessee. The investment was structured as preferred equity with a fixed 16% target return. The sponsor paid 8% distributions throughout the project and accrued the rest. The project faced significant construction delays. Opening of one facility was nearly two years behind the original schedule, primarily due to weather-related issues and entitlement challenges. In response to these delays, the sponsor revised the business plan to either sell or recapitalize one of the facilities to pay off the preferred equity. Based on current projections, this shift suggests a positive outcome is still possible, albeit over a slightly extended hold period. Madison provided short quarterly reports focusing on updated timelines. They did not include detailed financial statements, but kept investors informed of the project's physical progress. I like this asset class and would consider investing with Madison Capital again, provided the current exit materializes within the next year.
