Harsheel Shah

Managing Partner

Mr. Shah is the founder and managing partner at Prime Oak Capital. In 2019, Mr. Shah launched Prime Oak Capital MHC Fund I, a real estate investment fund focused on acquiring manufactured housing communities. Through 2021, the Fund acquired assets of nearly $25M and 300 units, and while many real estate sectors initially suffered during the COVID-19 pandemic, Fund I thrived as tenants remained in place paying rents as agreed. Building upon Fund I’s success, Mr. Shah launched Prime Oak Capital MHC Fund II in late 2022, and the portfolio has since grown through continued acquisitions across the Southeast. Together, Funds I & II along with other syndications now hold more than $60M in assets under management and $120M in total capitalization, with 17 communities and 1445 pads across six states.

Mr. Shah began his career at Prijems Inc., one of the world’s premier diamond manufacturers. Mr. Shah was appointed Chief Executive Officer in 2009, and under his leadership, grew sales 10x at an annual CAGR of over 20%. Prijems currently employs a team of 50+ individuals worldwide.

Mr. Shah graduated from the University of Southern California with a degree in Business Administration with an emphasis on Finance, and lives in Los Angeles, CA with his wife, two sons and daughter.
