East Rock Capital
East Rock Capital was established in 2006 by the Miller family, founders of Lennar Corporation, as a vehicle to manage their wealth. It has since expanded to serve additional entrepreneurial families while retaining its New York headquarters. The firm deploys capital through direct co-investments, SPVs, fund-of-funds commitments and hedge fund allocations. Confirmed positions include stakes in real estate assets such as Viceroy L'Ermitage Beverly Hills and mixed-use projects in Puerto Rico. It also participates in private equity and structured credit opportunities across North America and select international markets. Geographic reach centers on the United States with additional exposure through external managers. East Rock maintains a team that includes Adam Shapiro, Graham Duncan, Shaun Robert Getchell and Patrick Andersen. It operates affiliated vehicles including East Rock Focus Fund Management, LLC and holds leased offices in Charlotte and Miami. Philanthropic activity includes major support for God’s Love We Deliver and Mount Sinai Health System. In 2023 the firm participated in a StepStone Limited Partner working group on responsible investment in private equity. East Rock’s structure centers on a core ownership entity, ER ACQUISITION, LLC, controlled by the ADAM SHAPIRO 2007 TRUST. This setup separates the founding Miller capital from subsequent client relationships while allowing the firm to act as primary backer for managers such as EOS Investors.
