Connecting international investors with real estate opportunities, disciplined capital structuring and on-the-ground execution across the United States and strategic global markets.
FGS Capital Advisors is a Florida-based international capital advisory and real estate development platform focused on connecting investors, developers, landowners and strategic partners across global markets.
Founded and led by Fernando Lima, a real estate and business executive with more than 30 years of experience across Brazil, Angola and the United States, FGS brings together entrepreneurial leadership, international capital origination, investment structuring and disciplined real estate execution.
Fernando's background spans executive leadership in construction and real estate development, land acquisitions, commercial strategy, complex negotiations and the structuring of investment opportunities.
Our work centers on international capital raising, investment structuring, real estate development, strategic acquisitions and cross-border transactions, with the United States as a primary development market and selected international relationships supporting capital access and execution.
