ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. and BETHLEHEM, Pa., Aug. 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DLP Real Estate Capital, Inc. (DLP Capital), a private real estate investment firm with headquarters in St. Augustine, Florida, and offices in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, announced today that it has been named to the Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies for the 14th year in a row.
To be named to the Inc. 5000 for nearly a decade and a half is a rare feat: in addition to DLP Capital, only 14 other companies listed in the 2026 Inc. 5000 have been named to the list for 14 consecutive years or more.
“It’s a distinct honor to be recognized as one of America’s fastest-growing private companies for the 14th time in a row—and an even greater privilege to be one of the few companies consistently recognized year after year,” says Don Wenner, Founder and CEO of DLP Capital. “This year’s recognition on the Inc. 5000, which coincides with DLP Capital’s 20th anniversary, is thanks to the thousands of investors, sponsors, and staff who share in our mission to finance the building of Thriving Communities for America’s working families.”
This year, DLP Capital placed #3,488 on the Inc. 5000, recording cumulative revenue growth of 81% in the three years between 2022 and 2025.
“We ultimately measure our growth, and our success, by the success of those we serve—whether that means helping sponsors scale their businesses, staff advance their careers, investors build wealth, or residents realize their dreams,” says Wenner.
In the 20 years since DLP Capital was founded in Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley, the firm has transformed into a vertically integrated impact investment company. Today, DLP Capital specializes in building and operating attainable workforce housing in high-growth Sunbelt markets. Through its sponsored credit and equity funds, DLP Capital stewards $5.5+ billion in assets under management (AUM) for 4,000+ accredited investors.1 The firm’s multifamily portfolio spans 17,000+ units in operation and 9,500+ units in development, construction, or predevelopment.1
“Our business has grown consistently in the two decades since our founding as a real estate sales agency. Still, there’s unfinished work ahead. We’re committed to playing an even bigger role in solving America’s affordable housing crisis in the years to come,” says Wenner.
