Civitas Capital Group
Dan Healy, alongside co-founder Rafael Anchia and Mine Ekim, launched Civitas Capital Group in 2009. The firm operates exclusively as an EB-5 regional center, guiding foreign nationals through the US immigrant investor visa process. Healy serves on the IIUSA Board of Directors; Anchia and Ekim sit on its Public Policy Committee (per the firm). Civitas deploys EB-5 capital into real estate projects centered on multifamily housing, lodging, and opportunistic verticals. The firm had deployed nearly $950 million in EB-5 funds across projects valued at over $3.3 billion as of December 31, 2025. Confirmed investment structures include direct debt and equity positions in project-level entities; the firm does not disclose individual portfolio company names publicly. (per the firm) The team of unspecified size serves more than 1,700 EB-5 investors from 50 countries and has returned over $480 million to eligible investors as of year-end 2025. The firm reports a 100% I-829 approval rate on adjudicated petitions. Civitas maintains no disclosed philanthropic foundation or adjacent operating company. (per the firm) The firm's structural differentiator is its exclusive focus on EB-5 as the sole deployment vehicle — a narrow mandate that ties capital to visa program compliance and predefined job creation metrics. This model limits flexibility but creates a repeatable, regulated fund structure distinct from most family offices or multi-asset managers.
