DR Capital

DR Capital

DR Capital was established to manage the financial interests of Denby Roberts. Her father, John Roberts, founded Multiplex Group, the construction and property concern that generated the underlying wealth. The firm concentrates on asset-based lending. It issues first and second trust deeds plus preferred equity on multifamily, office, retail, industrial and hotel properties. Loan sizes range from $250,000 to $5 million with terms of one to three years. DR Capital limits exposure to 75 percent of stabilized value and requires experienced sponsors. Activity centers on California and other Western US markets; the firm also holds multifamily assets in Missouri, Texas and Arkansas. Ben Bartholomaeus serves as CEO and sits on the council of Scotch College. The firm maintains a Beverly Hills contact address. No additional offices or adjacent vehicles are disclosed. In September 2024 the firm referenced a possible energy-transition allocation that could include digital assets alongside Future Fund. DR Capital operates through a private structure that permits direct co-investments and real-asset holdings without external fund commitments. This architecture keeps decision rights inside the family and avoids public disclosure of capital deployment.
