Arsenault Family Office
Marcel Arsenault co-founded the family office alongside his wife Cynda Collins Arsenault, drawing on decades of experience as a real estate developer and investor through Real Capital Solutions, the Denver-based operating company he leads. Cynda Collins Arsenault co-founded the family's philanthropic foundations and is active in high-net-worth giving networks. The family office focuses on commercial real estate acquisitions and management, targeting office, industrial, and retail properties across the United States. Confirmed holdings include the Medtronic Lafayette Campus in Colorado, 401 North Michigan Avenue in Chicago, the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Minnesota Headquarters in Eagan, and the Tower at Park Lane in Dallas. The office works closely with Koelbel and Co. as a co-investor on Denver-area deals. Investment activity is largely direct, with no publicly disclosed fund commitments to external managers. Total assets under management are not publicly disclosed, but the known portfolio of at least a dozen commercial properties, each typically valued at $20M–$100M, suggests a real estate book in the hundreds of millions. The team includes former Director DJ Van Keuren, who was a member of the Forbes Real Estate Council, and has operated without a dedicated public-facing investment staff. Philanthropic activity is substantial: through the One Earth Future Foundation, PAX sapiens, and the Secure World Foundation, the family focuses on peace, security, and space governance — causes championed by Cynda Collins Arsenault, a signatory of The Giving Pledge. A structural differentiator is the separation of the family office into an operating real estate firm and a dedicated philanthropic engine, with the Giving Pledge commitment to give away 98% of wealth shaping long-term capital allocation. The office does not appear to manage third-party capital or market itself as an investment manager, operating instead as a vehicle for the Arsenaults' direct real estate holdings and charitable goals.
