EB5 Capital, a leading operator of the U.S. EB-5 immigrant investor program, announced it has reached a new milestone: the firm has now welcomed investors from 80 countries, following its first investment from Cuba. The announcement, made on September 30, 2026, highlights EB5 Capital's continued expansion in Latin America and the program's enduring attractiveness to families seeking permanent U.S. residency through capital investment.
Since 2008, EB5 Capital has raised nearly $2 billion across 50 commercial real estate projects, ranging from multifamily residential to office and hospitality developments. The firm's track record and multilingual support have made it a preferred partner for international investors, particularly in Latin America. The addition of Cuba to its investor portfolio is a significant achievement, reflecting both the firm's outreach efforts and the broader global interest in the EB-5 program.
Brian Ostar, President of EB5 Capital, expressed enthusiasm about the milestone: "We're genuinely excited to include Cuba in our investor portfolio. 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." Ostar's comments underscore the personal impact of the program, which offers a pathway to U.S. residency for foreign nationals who invest in job-creating projects.
Andrea Devis Focke, Investor Relations Senior Director for the Latin America market at EB5 Capital, noted that while most Latin American investors come from Brazil, Mexico, and Argentina, the firm has also attracted families from countries such as Cuba, Ecuador, and Peru. "Each new country reinforces the meaningful impact EB-5 has on families around the world. Welcoming investors from 80 countries is a testament to the program's appeal across borders and the shared desire to build a stronger future," she said. Devis Focke's remarks highlight the diverse geographic reach of the EB-5 program and EB5 Capital's role in facilitating it.
The milestone comes as the EB-5 program continues to evolve, with recent legislative changes providing new opportunities for investors. EB5 Capital's achievement of reaching 80 investor countries, and its first Cuban investor, demonstrates the program's resilience and its ability to adapt to changing global dynamics. For Cuban investors, the program offers a unique opportunity to secure U.S. residency while contributing to economic development through job-creating investments.
EB5 Capital's portfolio diversification across asset classes and its commitment to investor protection—including FDIC insurance on funds prior to deployment—have been key factors in its success. The firm's ability to attract investors from 80 countries, including Cuba, signals the broad trust it has earned. As the EB-5 landscape continues to evolve, EB5 Capital's experience and track record position it well to serve an increasingly global investor base.
