506C Investment for Accredited Investors Only
7% Cash Flow from Day 1
Quarterly distributions begin the moment you fund. As a preferred equity investor, your 7% annualized current return starts accruing immediately — not when the property stabilizes.
A One-of-a-Kind Living Experience
Casata is redefining rental living with private cottage homes — no shared walls, 11-foot ceilings, smart home technology, and a resort-style community built around connection, wellness, and the Texas outdoor lifestyle.
Explosive Job Growth on the I-35 Corridor
San Marcos sits at the center of the Texas Innovation Corridor, where job growth has hit +51.3% over the past decade — more than 3× the Texas state average. Amazon, Tesla, and Apple have all made permanent, large-scale investments within 30 miles.
Most Affordable City in Austin's Metro
San Marcos rents average $1,030/month — 30% less than Austin city at $1,480. That affordability gap makes San Marcos a structural magnet for renters priced out of the city, and it isn’t going away.

The Casata Experience
“Neal and his team are awesome! I’ve invested in 4 projects with him and after 2 years we’ve already sold one. He’s outperformed other syndicates that I’ve invested with for much longer. I love getting his monthly updates. It’s rare to have a syndicator update us so regularly.
Grocapitus is a breath of fresh air. They do things differently and way better than their competitors. Thank you Neal for being an amazing leader to your team! I couldn’t be happier with the results so far. Looking forward to investing more in the future.”

Millennials and Gen Z Are Driving Growth

Millennials and Gen Z represent the largest, most educated, and tech-savvy population group, and they are now dominating the rental market.
They are ready to start families.
These generations were raised amongst advanced technology, and their rental demand requirements reflect it.
The top five amenities that Millennials and Gen Z seek are:
42.6% of neighborhood residents are 18–29 years old
65.8% are single
22.4% are enrolled in college (Texas State University proximity)
NeighborhoodScout rates the neighborhood “Excellent for Young Single Professionals” (90th percentile nationally)
Household income in the neighborhood grew +16.6% per year over the last 5 years
“I have invested in a couple of opportunities with Grocapitus. One of them is a multifamily property, which has been performing superbly, and way better than the initial predictions. The second one is a new construction project, which is on-time, even during the COVID-19 pandemic. And the marketing material that the team has put together to lease these new units is top-notch. Awesome job by Neal and his team in managing the properties and consistent communication with their investors.
As a Limited Partner to invest in a syndication, for me, trust is a big factor. With Neal’s vast experience in multifamily construction, data-driven approach, and creative ways in solving problems as well as straightforwardness helped in creating the trust.”

“I’ve invested in 6 of Neal’s projects. As I write this, we just had the first successful exit: the Windward Forest Multifamily project, where we earned >20% IRR.
Neal is extremely agile. Until COVID hit us, his projects were mostly multifamily deals (each with some value-add strategy that should increase the NOI). Since then, he realized that there may be higher risk in such deals due to tenants’ unemployment, inability to pay rent, and eviction restrictions. I trust Neal’s numbers, so I have invested in his recent construction projects, too. Keep them coming, Neal!”
IVAN Z., Grocapitus Investor
Case Study: Casata Austin
Casata San Marcos is developed and offered based on a proven, operating model. Casata Austin — the flagship 66-unit eco-living micro home community — has been fully leased and operating successfully, serving as a definitive proof of concept for the Casata model. Building on this success, Casata has since grown to 4 communities and 626 total cottage homes across Texas.
Casata San Marcos will level up unit designs with more unique floor plans and amenities for an even better tenant experience.
“I had met Neal at a real estate investor meetup a few years back. Neal was very positive about investing in multifamily. He does a lot of research using data analytics on markets, identifying growth areas, finding good neighborhoods and shares the data and his findings with interested people and clients. His presentations are filled with a lot of info about the market, the property, the financials the expected returns, and his team patiently answers questions.
One of our investments with Neal had an exit with better than projected returns (during uncertain times with the pandemic)!!!”

So far results have been delightful as the project has outperformed the projections and continues to perform well even during the coronavirus crisis. I also appreciate the fact that Grocapitus is easily available and they make it a point to communicate personally to address any questions I might have.”

We Can’t Get Enough of Austin, Texas
A booming market in Central Texas, Austin has seen a mind-boggling influx in population and business investment. As a result, it’s become one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States, with no signs of slowing down.
Texas’s pro-business environment with low taxes, competitive incentives, and a highly skilled workforce accelerates the growth across the San Antonio-Austin corridor. As more major employers choose the region for its headquarters, more and more people are flocking to the ‘golden land’ that is Austin.
The one-of-a-kind business and economic climate is generating a truly impressive list of accolades and stats, including:
Austin ranked #3 Best Big Cities to Live In (US News & World Report, 2026)
Austin ranked #1 Best City for Startups (CommercialCafe, 2026)
Austin ranked #1 Best City to Start a Business (UT McCombs, 2025)
San Marcos ranked #8 Fastest Growing City in the US (US News, 2025–2026)
Hays County is the #3 Fastest Growing County in the US (Census Bureau, 2025)
San Marcos grew 5.7% in population from 2024–2025 — 11× the national rate
Projected to reach 107,000 residents by 2035
The Massive Central Texas Employment Boom
The Central Texas region is experiencing historic growth propelled by relocations and expansions of large companies such as Tesla, Apple, Google, Facebook, Samsung, 3M, Amazon, and Dell.
With Elon Musk and other tech powerhouses flocking to Texas, Austin is quickly becoming the next Silicon Valley. Big, well-known companies such as Apple, Google, Amazon, Tesla, FedEx, Oracle, Whole Foods Market, BAE Systems, and many others have announced company relocations and expansions in Austin.
Gigafactory Texas is now 10M sq ft; Tesla filed for a 5M sq ft expansion (2025); manufacturing Model Y, Cybertruck, and Cybercab
Amazon: Two major distribution facilities in San Marcos itself — including SAT-6, the corridor’s first 1M+ sq ft distribution center; 5,000+ employees across the region
Apple: Second campus in North Austin on 133 acres; 13,000+ employees; adding 1M+ sq ft new space
Corridor job growth hit +51.3% over the past decade — more than 3× the Texas average
“
“Just take a compass, put the point anywhere in Austin and draw a 50-mile circle. From Fredericksburg to Boerne to north of San Antonio…you name it. It is just a super tight housing market. I haven’t seen anything like this here, and I’ve been doing this since 2000.”
Joel Richardson, Branch manager Prime Lending, Austin
The Austin-San Antonio Growth Corridor
The Austin-San Antonio Corridor is one of the fastest-growing regions in the United States and is on track to become a single mega-metro of epic proportions! Currently home to 4.5 million people, it is expected to grow to 6-7M by 2030, a 55%+ increase.
This growth has put two of Texas’ biggest cities on a mind-boggling population collision course, with Austin on one end of the colossal expansion corridor and San Antonio on the other end.
The growth on the corridor between San Antonio and Austin is ‘kind of mind blowing‘
“I have several investments with Neal Bawa through Grocapitus. I trust that his underwriting is conservative and accurate. He is very knowledgeable about market conditions and is happy to share his research. During the course of the investments Neal and Anna are both very responsive and prompt in answering questions.
Their reporting is consistent, timely, and provides an honest portrayal of how the property is doing. The returns I have received on my investments have been very close to proforma projections, even in these very difficult pandemic times. I would definitely invest with Grocapitus again in the future.”
