                         PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT SUMMARY
 
     The following summary should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified
in its entirety by, the more detailed descriptions and financial information and
statements appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus Supplement, in the Prospectus
and in the documents incorporated herein and therein by reference. Except as
otherwise indicated herein, this Prospectus Supplement assumes no exercise of
the underwriters' over-allotment option. As used herein, unless the context
requires otherwise, the term "Company" includes Capstone Capital Corporation, a
Maryland corporation, and its subsidiaries.
 
                                  THE COMPANY
 
     The Company is a real estate investment trust which owns, leases and
invests in a diversified portfolio of healthcare properties. As of September 30,
1996, the Investments consisted of (i) 45 healthcare properties leased to 13
healthcare operators (the "Leased Properties") and (ii) seven mortgage loans on
healthcare properties (the "Mortgage Loans"). The Investments are located in 13
states primarily in the southeastern and western regions of the United States
and represent a variety of facility types in diverse healthcare industry
segments. The Investments, including commitments to invest that have been
partially funded, have grown from approximately $115 million at inception on
June 30, 1994 to approximately $348 million on September 30, 1996.
 
     The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to reduce
outstanding borrowings under the Company's $150 million unsecured line of credit
(the "Bank Credit Facility") provided by a consortium of banks led by
NationsBank, N.A. (South) ("NationsBank"), which the Company has used primarily
to fund Investments. See "Use of Proceeds." The Company expects to reborrow
under the Bank Credit Facility to make additional investments.
 
     Substantially all of the leases (the "Leases") for Leased Properties are
triple net leases which require the lessees to pay all operating expenses,
taxes, insurance and other costs. The Leases generally provide for increases in
rent commencing after the first year, have primary terms of 10 to 15 years with
options to extend the term at least 10 years and grant the lessees a right of
first refusal to acquire the Company's interest. Mortgage Loans generally have
initial maturities of between five and 15 years and bear interest at a rate
which increases annually at either a specified rate or a rate based on the
consumer price index. Approximately 91% of the Company's investments as of
September 30, 1996 are operated by public healthcare companies or their
subsidiaries, including HEALTHSOUTH Corporation ("HEALTHSOUTH"), Columbia/HCA
Healthcare Corporation ("Columbia/HCA"), MedPartners, Inc. ("MedPartners"),
Integrated Health Services, Inc. ("Integrated Health"), OrNda HealthCorp
("OrNda") and Quorum Health Group, Inc. ("Quorum").
 
     The Company believes it is an important source of capital for the
healthcare industry and intends to continue investing in a high-quality
portfolio of properties managed by established operators of rehabilitation,
alternate-site care, long-term care and acute-care facilities. The Company
diversifies its portfolio by operator, geography, facility type and healthcare
industry segment. Management's investment criteria emphasize evaluation of the
(i) creditworthiness of a proposed lessee, borrower, guarantor, developer or,
under certain circumstances, sublessee of a healthcare facility, (ii)
competitive position of a proposed property, (iii) attractiveness of the
industry segment and (iv) strategic fit of a proposed property with the
Company's existing portfolio. The Company believes that there is significant
demand for REIT financing capital in the healthcare industry. In addition, the
Company believes that the substantial healthcare industry experience and
industry relationships of its management and directors will help the Company
identify, evaluate and complete additional investments.
 
     The Company's primary objective is to provide current income for
distribution to stockholders. The Company commenced paying quarterly dividends
of $.425 per share for the quarter ended September 30, 1994, increased its
quarterly dividend to $.445 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 1995,
increased it to $.455 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 and declared
a dividend of $.46 per share payable on November 15, 1996 for the quarter ended
September 30, 1996.

public offering price of $21.375 and after deduction of underwriting discounts

(approximately $57.9 million assuming the Underwriters' over-allotment option is

     The Company makes quarterly distributions to stockholders of approximately
85% to 95% of its cash available for distribution; however, the Company may
elect to pay more or less than such amount as determined by the Board of
Directors of the Company. In any event, the Company expects to make
distributions annually in excess of 95% of its REIT taxable income in order to
satisfy the annual distribution requirements of a REIT. See "Federal Income Tax
Considerations -- Taxation of the Company" in the Prospectus. Payment of
distributions, however, will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors at
all times and will depend upon various factors including the Company's financial
condition, earnings, anticipated investments and other relevant factors.
 
     The Company has a dividend reinvestment plan under which stockholders of
record may invest all or a portion of their dividend distributions and up to an
additional $5,000 per quarter to purchase additional shares of Common Stock.

(2) Funds from operations is computed as net income (computed in accordance with
     generally accepted accounting principles), excluding rental income
     recognized on a straight-line basis on those leases with scheduled rent

               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
OVERVIEW
 
     The Company is an indefinite life REIT which was incorporated in Maryland
on March 31, 1994. The Company commenced operations on June 30, 1994, with the
receipt of proceeds from the sale of 5,800,000 shares of Common Stock.
Accordingly, the Company has a limited operating history. The Company was
organized to invest in a diversified portfolio of income-producing
healthcare-related real estate through acquisition of existing facilities,
provision of mortgage financing or funding of the development of facilities for
lease to healthcare operators. The Company believes that it is an important
source of capital for the healthcare industry and intends to continue investing
in a high quality portfolio of properties managed by established operators of
rehabilitation, alternate-site care, long-term care and acute-care facilities.
The Company diversifies its portfolio by operator, geography, facility type and
healthcare industry segment. The Company's primary objective is to provide
current income for distribution to stockholders.
 
     The Company incurs operating and administrative expenses, principally
compensation expense for its officers and other employees, office rent and
occupancy costs and various expenses incurred in connection with acquiring
additional facilities or providing additional mortgage financing. The Company is
"self-administered" and managed by its executives and staff, and does not engage
a separate advisor for administrative or investment services, although the
Company does engage legal, accounting, tax and financial advisors from time to
time. The Company intends to continue to declare and pay quarterly dividends to
its stockholders in amounts not less than the amounts required to maintain REIT
status under the Code. The Company's ability to pay dividends will depend upon
its cash available for distribution.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
  Nine months ended September 30, 1996 compared with nine months ended September
30, 1995
 
     Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 increased 95.6% to
$13.5 million compared to $6.9 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1995. Net income per share was $1.28 (primary) and $1.27 (diluted) at September
30, 1996 as compared to $1.15 (primary and diluted) at September 30, 1995.
 
     Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, increased
47.7% to $26.0 million, compared to the $17.6 million the Company reported for
the first nine months of 1995. The increase in revenues is primarily
attributable to additional rental and mortgage interest income from the
acquisition and financing of properties subsequent to September 30, 1995. In
addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Company
recognized a gain of $193,672 from the sale of an ancillary hospital facility
located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
 
     Total expenses for the 1996 nine month period increased 17.9% to $12.5
million from $10.6 million for the first nine months of 1995. Interest expenses
increased $0.4 million or 6.5% to 6.6 million in the 1996 nine month period as
compared to $6.2 million in the 1995 nine month period. This increase is due
primarily to interest related to the Company's Mortgage Note Payable that was
entered into in June 1996. Depreciation and amortization increased $1.3 million
or 43.3% to $4.3 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 from
$3.0 million for the same period in 1995. Depreciation expense increased as a
result of the acquisition of additional properties subsequent to September 30,
1995. General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September
30, 1996 totaled $1.2 million, increasing 9.1% or $0.1 million over general and
administrative expenses of $1.1 million at September 30, 1995. The increase is
due primarily to additional administrative and professional services related to
the additional investments in properties made since September 30, 1995.
 
                                       S-9
<PAGE>   10
  Year ended December 31, 1995 compared to the period from June 30, 1994
  (inception) through December 31, 1994
 
     Revenues for the year ended December 31, 1995 totaled $24.7 million,
increasing $16.5 million over 1994 revenues of $8.2 million. The increase in
revenues is primarily attributable to the recognition of a full year of revenues
from investments made during the partial year of 1994 and the revenues from
additional investments made during 1995. Specifically, a full year of revenues
from 1994 investments added $11.1 million to revenues and revenues from
investments made in 1995 added an additional $5.4 million.
 
     Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 1995 totaled $8.8 million,
increasing $7.4 million over 1994 interest expense of $1.4 million. The increase
in interest expense is attributable to an increase of $3.5 million in interest
expense related to a full year of interest expense on amounts borrowed under the
Bank Credit Facility during 1994 and the interest expense on amounts borrowed
under the Bank Credit Facility during 1995. Additionally, $3.9 million of the
increase in interest expense is due to interest expense related to the issuance
of $52 million of convertible debentures issued in March 1995.
 
     Depreciation and amortization for the year ended December 31, 1995 totaled
$4.7 million, increasing $3.2 million over 1994 depreciation and amortization of
$1.5 million. $3.1 million of the increase in depreciation and amortization is
due primarily to a full year of depreciation on and amortization of investments
made in 1994 and the depreciation on and amortization of additional investments
made during 1995. Additionally, $0.2 million of the increase is due to
amortization of deferred financing costs related to the issuance of $52 million
of convertible debentures issued in March 1995.
 
     General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 1995
totaled $1.5 million, increasing $1.0 million over 1994 general and
administrative expenses of $0.5 million. The increase in general and
administrative expenses is due primarily to the recognition of a full year of
expenses and the additional compensation, administrative and professional
services related to the additional investments made during 1995.
 
     For the foregoing reasons, net income for the year ended December 31, 1995
increased to $9.7 million compared to $4.8 million for the period from June 30,
1994 (inception) to December 31, 1994. Net income per share was $1.55 in the
1995 period as compared to $0.80 for the 1994 period.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
     The Company requires capital in order to fund investments in healthcare
properties through sale/leaseback transactions or mortgage financing. To fund
these investments, the Company utilizes its cash flow from operations and a
combination of long-term and short-term capital including both equity and debt.
The Company's long-term capital includes equity securities and convertible
debentures. The Company's short-term capital is obtained through the use of its
Bank Credit Facility. The Company intends to fund future investments and working
capital needs through borrowings under the Bank Credit Facility, existing cash
and cash equivalents and cash flow from operations. Thereafter, the Company may
raise capital through issuance of additional long-term and short-term
indebtedness or the issuance of its securities in private or public
transactions. There can be no assurance that acceptable financing for
investments can be obtained.
 
     On June 24, 1996, the Company completed an amendment and restatement of its
unsecured Bank Credit Facility, which provides for an increase to $150 million
from its previous principal amount of $100 million, an extension of the term to
June 24, 1999, from June 22, 1997, and an adjustment in the determination of the
interest rate. The Bank Credit Facility is agented by NationsBank and is
participated in by a consortium of seven other banks. At September 30, 1996, the
Company had drawn $91,200,000 against the Bank Credit Facility for the purchase
of real estate properties and the funding of Mortgage Loans.
 
     Borrowings under the Bank Credit Facility bear interest at a rate chosen by
the Company from either NationsBank's base rate or the Eurodollar rate plus a
percentage ranging from 1.00% to 1.625% depending upon the Company's senior debt
to consolidated total capital ratio for the preceding fiscal quarter. In
addition, the Company pays a commitment fee of either .20% or .25% per annum on
the unused portion of funds
 
                                      S-10
<PAGE>   11
 
available for borrowing under the Bank Credit Facility. The commitment fee
percentage is based on the Company's senior debt to total capital ratio.
 
     The Bank Credit Facility contains certain representations, warranties and
financial and other covenants customary in such loan agreements.
 
     The Company's current intention is to utilize the Bank Credit Facility on a
short-term basis to finance future acquisitions and investments. The Company is
currently evaluating various alternatives for additional equity and debt
financing with which to finance those acquisitions and investments on a
long-term basis.
 
     The Bank Credit Facility will be available until June 24, 1999, and the
principal balance outstanding thereunder will mature on that date. The Company
intends to renew the Bank Credit Facility or to repay the outstanding balance
thereunder at maturity from the proceeds of a refinancing or from the sale of
debt or equity securities. There can be no assurance that the lenders will renew
the Bank Credit Facility on terms favorable to the Company or that the Company
will be able to refinance the outstanding balance thereunder at that time.
 
     The Company believes that its existing cash resources together with net
proceeds from the Offering and the unused portion of the Bank Credit Facility
will be sufficient to meet the Company's anticipated acquisition, investment and
working capital needs through the second quarter of 1997. Thereafter, the
Company may raise capital to fund future expansions through the issuance of
long-term or short-term indebtedness or the issuance of its securities in
private or public transactions. There can be no assurance that acceptable
financing for acquisitions and investments can be obtained.

     Columbia/HCA.  Columbia/HCA, headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky,
provides a full range of inpatient and outpatient services and is one of the
leading hospital owners and management companies in the United States. Major
services provided by Columbia/HCA and its affiliated entities include acute
inpatient care, inpatient psychiatric care, outpatient diagnostic services,
outpatient surgery programs, outpatient psychiatric services, rehabilitation
services, skilled nursing care and home healthcare/infusion services. At
November 5, 1996, Columbia/HCA operated approximately 347 hospitals, 133
outpatient surgery centers, 560 home health agencies and extensive ancillary
service providers in 37 states, England and Switzerland. Columbia/HCA is
building comprehensive networks of healthcare services, including home health,
rehabilitation, and skilled nursing units, in local markets around the country.
 
     MedPartners.  MedPartners, with annualized revenues of approximately $4.5
billion, is the largest physician practice management company in the United
States. MedPartners develops, consolidates and manages integrated healthcare
delivery systems. Through its network of affiliated group and independent
practice association ("IPA") physicians, MedPartners provides primary and
specialty healthcare services to prepaid managed care enrollees and
fee-for-service patients. MedPartners also operates one of the largest
independent prescription benefit management programs in the United States and
provides disease management services and therapies for patients with certain
chronic conditions. As of June 30, 1996, MedPartners operated in 54 markets in
25 states through affiliations with approximately 7,400 physicians, including
approximately 2,470 in group practices, 4,180 through IPA relationships and 740
who were hospital-based, providing healthcare to approximately 1.5 million
prepaid enrollees.
 
     Integrated Health.  Integrated Health, formed in 1986, and headquartered in
Owings Mills, Maryland, is one of the nation's leading providers of subacute
healthcare services. Integrated Health's strategy is to use geriatric care
facilities as platforms to provide a wide variety of medical and rehabilitative
services more typically delivered in the acute care hospital setting. Integrated
Health's focus on providing subacute care is designed to address the fact that
cost containment measures implemented by private insurers and limitations on
government reimbursement of hospital costs have resulted in the discharge from
hospitals of many patients who continue to require subacute care. These patients
often cannot be effectively cared for in the home because of the complex
monitoring and specialized medical treatment required. Because geriatric care
facilities have lower capital and operating costs than acute care hospitals,
Integrated Health is able to offer these complex medical services at a
significantly lower cost than acute care hospitals. As of October 21, 1996,
Integrated Health operated over 1,000 post-acute service locations in 40 states
throughout the United States.

definitive merger agreement pursuant to which it will acquire Coram Healthcare
Corp, which is the largest provider of home infusion services with annualized

     OrNda.  OrNda, headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, is a leading provider
of healthcare services principally through the operation of 50 hospitals located
in urban and suburban communities located in 15 states. The company has a
significant presence in the metropolitan Los Angeles area, south Florida and the
greater Phoenix area. OrNda's 1996 fiscal year revenues were approximately $2.1
billion.
 
     On October 17, 1996, OrNda announced that it had agreed to be acquired by
Tenet Healthcare Corp. for approximately $3.22 billion in stock and assumed
debt. Tenet is the nation's second-largest hospital company. Upon completion of
the transaction, which is subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals, Tenet
will operate 126 hospitals located in 22 states and will have combined annual
revenues of approximately $8.5 billion.
