Arbus Capital Management

Arbus Capital Management

Arbus Capital Management was founded in 2009 in New York City by David Arbus, who serves as Managing Partner alongside Michael Arbus. The firm operates as a single-family office, though the wealth origin is not publicly disclosed beyond the principals' surname. The firm allocates across real estate, private equity, and credit, with a preference for direct investments and co-investment opportunities in North America. Deployed capital includes positions in multifamily residential developments and middle-market buyouts — typically structured as minority stakes in operating companies or joint ventures on real estate assets (per public record). Sector focus has skewed toward value-add and opportunistic real estate strategies, alongside general private equity. Based solely in New York, Arbus Capital employs approximately six professionals as of 2026. The firm has not publicly disclosed AUM, deployment totals, or a material dated event from the past 24 months. No adjacent philanthropic vehicle or operating company has been identified. Arbus Capital's structural differentiator is its tight team and concentrated mandate — the firm appears to invest directly alongside operators rather than through fund vehicles, a posture typical of smaller single-family offices that prioritize control and alignment over scale.
