@fgonzalez1978 Miami has an amazing community! What we’re missing is more educational infrastructure, and that’s why at @fortecnow  we continue to bring more schools to our community.
The best investment decisions are often found where strong fundamentals meet long-term demand.
At Fortec, we believe early education real estate represents one of the most compelling opportunities in today's market—an essential asset class supported by powerful demographic trends, resilient operators, and a critical need for quality educational infrastructure across the United States.
Our fund was built to provide investors access to institutional-grade early education developments designed to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns while creating lasting impact in the communities we serve.
As childcare demand continues to outpace supply nationwide, we remain focused on delivering high-quality projects, partnering with leading operators, and creating value through disciplined execution.
Because the strongest investments don't just generate returns—they help build the future.

We’re proud to be featured in RE Journals, where our Chairman, Pablo Barreiro, shares Fortec’s perspective on why early education real estate is emerging as one of the most compelling and resilient asset classes in commercial real estate.
As institutional capital continues to seek stable, necessity-based investments, preschool and early education facilities are gaining recognition for their strong fundamentals, driven by demographic demand, limited supply, and the essential role they play in communities across the country.
The article also highlights our recently completed Minnesota project, showcasing Fortec’s commitment to developing high-quality early education infrastructure in underserved markets while creating long-term value for investors and operators alike.

A powerful conversation about the future of South Florida.
Our Chairman and Co-Founder, Pablo Barreiro, joined the South Florida Business Journal’s Business Leadership Awards Roundtable to discuss the forces shaping the next decade of growth in Miami — from affordability and infrastructure to education and community development.
One message was clear: cities cannot grow sustainably unless education grows with them. As more families and businesses move to South Florida, investing in quality educational infrastructure is no longer optional — it is essential to the region’s long-term success.
At Fortec, we remain committed to building the schools and educational environments that support thriving communities across the country.
Thank you to the @SFBJNews for bringing together leaders driving meaningful conversations around the future of our region.

What if your NNN investment also created 40 to 150 jobs and served hundreds of kids in the community?
Our Chairman, Pablo Barreiro, joined the Crexi Podcast to discuss why early childhood education real estate is one of the few asset classes where strong financial performance and meaningful community impact truly align.
At Fortec, we believe investors shouldn’t have to choose between returns and purpose. Preschools deliver on both — creating essential infrastructure, supporting working families, and driving long-term value for communities and investors alike.
We explored this growing niche on The Crexi Podcast, diving into the deals, operators, and asset classes reshaping commercial real estate.
A special thank you to @CREXinc and the entire podcast team for the opportunity and a great conversation.
The full podcast is now available on Spotify, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and all major podcast platforms.
Another major milestone for Fortec. Proud to see our vision and long-term strategy continue gaining institutional confidence as we secure a $30 million investment commitment toward our $100 million fund.
This capital will support the continued expansion of purpose-built early education real estate across the country through acquisitions, development, and strategic partnerships with leading operators.
As demand for quality educational infrastructure continues to grow, we remain focused on creating spaces that deliver both community impact and institutional-grade opportunities.
Thank you to our partners, investors, and the incredible Fortec team helping drive this momentum forward.
