Assemble Capital

Assemble Capital

RC Thornton, Oliver Thornton, and Erik Lim founded Assemble Capital as a Los Angeles-based real estate syndication firm. The firm pools accredited-investor capital into single-family fix-and-flip projects and ground-up multifamily developments, retaining every phase of the asset lifecycle inside a single operating company. The firm targets asymmetric returns through two distinct strategies. The fix-and-flip program aims for short-duration equity gains, with Assemble Capital deploying in-house construction crews to renovate single-family residences while sourcing debt through what the firm describes as preferential terms earned from its track record. On the multifamily side, Assemble Capital develops ground-up projects, then runs cost-segregation studies upon stabilization to pass accelerated depreciation through to investors. When assets mature to 1031 Exchange eligibility, the firm sells and rolls proceeds into future acquisitions, deferring capital gains and depreciation recapture. All investment vehicles are structured as private syndications, and the firm has not published the names of individual project addresses or fund-level performance metrics. Assemble Capital lists three partners on its website. RC Thornton serves as CEO and oversees construction and development activity. Oliver Thornton heads marketing, sales, financing, and acquisitions. Erik Lim manages syndications, investor relations, and operations. The firm operates from a single office on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood and has not disclosed total assets under management, total capital deployed, or the number of limited partners it has raised capital from. No recent operational event within the last 24 months has been publicly reported. Assemble Capital maintains all functions in-house, running acquisitions, entitlements, permitting, construction, and disposition under one roof. This horizontally integrated structure departs from the standard developer model, which typically outsources construction to third-party general contractors. By keeping construction capability on its own balance sheet, the firm aims to control costs and timelines without relying on external build partners.
