About Us

Hanson Capital Group’s corporate culture and strategy are anchored in core values

Our Story

Chris Hanson is not one to wait when an attractive opportunity presents itself. That’s why when the financial markets were on the brink of collapse in 2008, he maxed out his personal credit card advances to make what would become Hanson Capital’s first successful commercial real estate investment.

Now that may seem impulsive, maybe even a little reckless. The truth is it was anything but.

Because as nimble, action oriented and hard working as Hanson Capital was created to be, the company was also founded on conservative investment principles, with a proven process that includes:

  • Relentless deal sourcing
  • Rigorous evaluation
  • Razor-sharp underwriting
  • Hands-on asset management
  • Co-investment in every transaction

Today, hundreds of accredited Hanson investors and institutions breathe a little easier knowing they have invested with people who will work tirelessly on their behalf; the racecourse pit crew they can count on to keep them informed and their investment objectives on track.

Core Values

Our Approach

At Hanson Capital, investment success is the product of focus, hard work and exceptional execution. Our approach is built on five key pillars:

Vigorous Deal Sourcing

Our extensive network provides unparalleled visibility into markets and assets, assuring strong deal flow and allowing us to detect and act on emerging trends that others may miss.

Razor-Sharp Underwriting

Always a Hanson superpower, we’ve continually refined our deal underwriting over 16+ years to optimize returns while managing risk.

Hands-On Asset Management

From acquisition to exit, we actively manage our investments to maximize value and performance.

Innovative Strategies

We’re constantly searching for novel approaches in familiar asset classes, defining trends rather than following them.

Transparent Partnership

We believe in full alignment with our investors, co-investing in every deal and maintaining open, honest communication throughout.
