Civitas Capital Group's CEO Explores EB-5 Project Trends at the 5th Annual Advanced EB-5 Conference
On May 28, 2026, Daniel J. Healy, Co-founder & CEO of Civitas Capital Group, joined industry leaders at the 5th Annual JTC and Saul Ewing Advanced EB-5 Conference, held at the Four Seasons Hotel in Miami, Florida, to explore one of the most significant shifts underway in EB-5 project development.
Moderated by Jose Rincon of JTC, “Fireside Chat 2: From Hotels to Rural – Revitalization EB-5 Project Trends and Transformations” brought together Dan and Christine Chen of CanAm Enterprises for a candid conversation on the transition from urban high unemployment projects to rural and infrastructure projects and community revitalization initiatives – and what that evolution means for issuers, developers, investors, and the communities these projects serve.
Key themes explored during the session included the economic, social, and community impacts of rural and infrastructure-focused EB-5 investment, the effect of set-aside categories on capital formation and processing timelines, and the operational realities of successfully bringing revitalization projects to market.
For Civitas, this evolution is not just a market trend – it is an opportunity to deploy capital where it is needed most, creating lasting economic impact in underserved communities across the country. As the EB-5 program continues to expand into new geographies and asset classes, we remain committed to the transparency, rigor, and investor stewardship that this next chapter demands.
We extend our sincere gratitude to JTC and Saul Ewing LLP for hosting another insightful and forward-looking event, once again bringing together the industry's leading voices to tackle the challenges and opportunities shaping the future of EB-5.
