Hispanics are the fastest growing demographic in the US, and the demographic is creating demand for quality housing. Eagle Property Capital, a Mexican-owned organization, is strategically targeting opportunities to serve this group in the US.

"We target predominantly, but not exclusively, Hispanic communities in fast-growing Sunbelt metropolitan areas," Gerardo Mahuad, Managing Principal at Eagle Property Capital Investments. "Hispanics have become a major force driving US demographic and economic growth. They are the fastest growing demographic in the United States and have a higher labor force participation relative to the general public as a result, there's significant demand for high-quality workforce housing in the cities and communities where Hispanic populations tend to settle and form families."

As a Mexican-owned firm with an exclusively Hispanic workforce, EPC says it is uniquely attuned to investing in these communities. "We ourselves are Hispanic. We're a minority-owned business—both my partner and I were born, raised and educated in Mexico City—and every member of our team is Hispanic or has worked in the Hispanic market for several years," says Mahuad. "So while we are an equal opportunity employer and landlord, we have some unique insights into Hispanic culture that made it logical for us to focus on markets with a significant Hispanic population."
