Fabio De La Cruz embodies the spirit of entrepreneurship. Originally from Argentina, he immigrated to the United States and settled in Indianapolis after losing everything during the 2001 economic crisis, the worst in Argentina’s history. Starting with humble beginnings as a dishwasher at Don Pablo’s in Indianapolis, De La Cruz didn’t let early challenges diminish his drive. These experiences only strengthened his resolve and spurred his ambition.

Transitioning into real estate, he first mastered the role of a loan officer. In this capacity, he learned about investing—a revelation that profoundly changed his life. As a perpetual learner, De La Cruz became deeply engrossed in the subject, his passion for it growing by the day. From starting his investing career in residential real estate, he expanded into commercial properties and broader business ventures.

Today, with more than two decades of experience in capital allocation, he remains as enthusiastic as ever. His ability to discover potential and through his company, change the lives of countless people, is a testament to his enduring commitment. De La Cruz’s guiding principle of putting “People before capital” shapes his innovative approach to revitalizing traditional spaces. His keen insight into the shifting dynamics of urban environments allows him to unlock potential in areas others might overlook, demonstrating his commitment to not just envision but also enact positive change.
