Our Roots
Participant Capital was founded by Daniel Kodsi to open institutional-grade real estate development opportunities to private investors. While operating independently, the firm draws on the deal flow and development expertise of Royal Palm Companies.
Our Evolution
Participant Capital has decades of experience managing third-party real estate investments. Founded in 2011 in response to the global financial crisis, the firm restructured over $500 million in assets and repositioned more than 2,000 single-family homes. By 2015, it was co-investing with institutions in large-scale developments, and in 2017, it began launching private real estate funds for individual investors across domestic and international markets.

Target Markets
Why invest in U.S. real estate?
The United States remains the world’s largest economy, with a GDP exceeding $20 trillion. Its real estate market is supported by strong economic fundamentals, steady population growth, and consistent domestic and international migration. Unlike other developed nations facing demographic decline, the U.S. offers long-term stability and resilience—making it a leading destination for real estate investment.
Changing Demographic Trends
The U.S. is experiencing a major southward migration driven by several factors: a remote-enabled workforce, retiring baby boomers seeking tax-friendly, warm-weather locations, and rising millennial affluence. This population shift is fueling housing and hospitality demand in high-growth markets like Florida and Puerto Rico—creating supply shortages and strong investment potential in these desirable, tax-advantaged regions.
Investing in the Future of Real Estate
Participant Capital’s leadership team has decades of experience managing large-scale development projects in high-growth U.S. markets. The firm has exceptional access to landmark opportunities, including Miami Worldcenter—the second-largest urban development in the U.S.
Participant Capital invested in Legacy Hotel & Residences, a $440 million development by its affiliate, Royal Palm Companies (RPC), within the Miami Worldcenter. Separately, RPC developed PARAMOUNT Miami Worldcenter, a luxury residential tower known for offering the “most amenities in the world.”
Today, Participant is allocating capital to Grand Reserve Puerto Rico, a $3 billion master-planned community spanning over 946 acres—positioned as a transformative development in one of the most tax-advantaged jurisdictions in the U.S.
