EB5 Capital Welcomes First Cuban Investor, Hits 80-Country Milestone

EB5 Capital, a Washington, D.C.-based regional center operator, announced on September 30, 2026, that it has welcomed its first investor from Cuba, achieving a milestone of 80 investor countries. The development signals the firm's growing reach in Latin America and underscores the appeal of the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program for families seeking U.S. residency and capital growth. For Texas, which has been a major beneficiary of EB-5 investments, this expansion could mean increased funding for commercial real estate projects and job creation.

Since 2008, EB5 Capital has raised nearly $2 billion across 50 projects, with a diverse portfolio that includes multifamily residential, office, and hospitality developments. The firm's track record and multilingual support have attracted investors from 81 countries, according to the company. The addition of Cuba reflects a broader trend of Latin American investors participating in the program, with most coming from Brazil, Mexico, and Argentina. Andrea Devis Focke, Investor Relations Senior Director for the Latin America market at EB5 Capital, noted that connecting with families from countries such as Cuba, Ecuador, and Peru has shown how far the program reaches. "Each new country reinforces the meaningful impact EB-5 has on families around the world," she said.

The EB-5 program allows qualified foreign investors to invest in job-creating commercial real estate projects in the United States in exchange for permanent residency. Texas has been a top destination for such investments, particularly in major metros like Dallas, Houston, and Austin, where multifamily and hospitality projects have flourished. EB5 Capital's milestone could lead to more capital flowing into the state, supporting development and economic growth. The firm's president, Brian Ostar, emphasized the personal impact: "Every new country we reach represents real families and real opportunities. We're thrilled to be able to welcome Cuban investors and support their goals for building a stronger future."

For Texas businesses and developers, the news signals a continued source of foreign capital that can help finance projects amid fluctuating domestic lending conditions. EB-5 investments often fill financing gaps for large-scale developments, creating jobs and stimulating local economies. As EB5 Capital deepens its commitment to immigrant investors, the firm's expansion into new countries like Cuba may also diversify the pool of investors interested in Texas real estate. The company's 80-country milestone, announced via NOTICIAS NEWSWIRE, highlights the global demand for U.S. residency and investment opportunities. With nearly $2 billion raised and a focus on protecting investor funds through FDIC insurance prior to deployment, EB5 Capital remains a key player in the EB-5 space.
