About Us
Fortaleza Capital was founded in San José, Costa
Rica in 2011 when founder and current General
Director JC Porras joined its first real estate
project in Guanacaste, overseeing the project
structuring and funding. At the end of 2013, the
company expanded services to residential project
structuring, project management and enterprise
financial valuations. Over a decade later, we
have advised 25 investment deals, gaining
experience and expertise with a significantly
improved level of customer service and
responsiveness. We have built our reputation by
demonstrating financial discipline and
transparency principles. For the next five
years, we will serve a growing client base
locally and abroad. That client base considers
lending institutions, public and private
companies, private and public real estate
funds as well as owners of large commercial and
industrial projects.

The companys historic ability to
efficiently analyze real estate assets or
projects that are selling below their intrinsic
value due to structural, capital, or management
inefficiencies make us a trusted partner for
profitable acquisitions.

Structuring and Development of Real Estate
Projects
Melissa Robertson
Real estate development can be a lucrative
investment, but it comes with unique challenges
and risks. Effective construction administration
is very important for project success, but the
development business also involves areas like
corporate law, marketing and finance. A single
company is unlikely to have expertise in all
these fields, and this is why real estate
projects are normally developed as joint
ventures.
