Omar Diaz started as an architect in Mexico City but wound up as a real estate developer here in Fort Worth, Texas. Omar’s completed one project so far and he has already begun his second one.I love to highlight local developers on the show to share their stories to hopefully give excitement to others that may be interested in real estate development but might not feel like they are ready to make the leap. His story is truly fascinating and I think you will be inspired by his journey into development.Omar holds an engineering and master’s degree in business administration with more than 18 years of experience in the fields of Architectural and interior design, construction, remodeling, and project management for residential projects. He was a founder and business partner of Area Arquitectos, a renowned Architectural firm for its outstanding high-end residential Contemporary Design. Bringing the highest construction quality and first-class attention to its sophisticated clientele in Mexico City for more than 12 years.Most recently, he acted as developer and general contractor of the May St. Condominiums in Fort Worth TX, a 12-unit residential development in the Near Southside. This was his first project in the developer role and showed him that he could be successful in development. Since then, he has begun the first phase of another group of townhomes also in the Near Southside.In this episode, we are going to discuss how Omar made the leap into development, a brief overview of his previous project and the current project he’s working on, and the importance of having a strong team by your side for these type of projects. I am excited to share his story!As always, if you have enjoyed the show, please subscribe to the show, and share with your friends.
