Leading Dominican financial institution Banco BHD has officially announced the fourth iteration of its signature sponsored event, the New York City Real Estate Fair, scheduled to run from September 11 to 13, 2026, at New York City’s iconic Armory Arena located at 216 Fort Washington Avenue. This year’s edition will bring together over 25 of the Dominican Republic’s most prominent construction and real estate firms, creating a centralized platform for cross-border property engagement.
Over the three-day event, Dominican community members residing across the United States will gain exclusive access to browse a diverse portfolio of real estate developments spanning every region of the Dominican Republic. The showcased projects span a full range of progress timelines, from newly launched pre-construction offerings to completed move-in ready residential properties, accommodating varied timelines and preferences for potential buyers.
At its core, the fair is designed to bridge the gap between the Dominican diaspora and accessible property investment and homeownership opportunities back in their home country. Beyond simply showcasing available developments, organizers have structured the event to provide comprehensive guidance, educational resources, and tailored financial support to help attendees navigate the often complex process of purchasing property across borders.
As the lead sponsor and a key participant, Banco BHD will deliver one-on-one personalized financial guidance and dedicated financial education programming throughout the event. Bank specialists will be on hand to walk attendees through all eligible property financing options, outline critical risk and planning factors to evaluate before committing to a major real estate purchase, and detail the step-by-step process to prepare for securing financing through Dominican financial institutions.
Event organizers emphasize that the initiative goes beyond introducing attendees to available projects: it prioritizes empowering attendees with the knowledge to understand every stage of the purchasing process, enabling them to make informed choices that align with their long-term personal and financial goals.
Freddy Simó, Vice President of Specialized Sales at Banco BHD, noted that the bank’s annual New York Real Estate Fair has evolved into a critical connection hub between Dominicans living in the United States and the fast-growing Dominican real estate sector. “We want to give every attendee the chance to sit down with our specialists, get clear answers to their questions, and identify the path that works best for their unique financial situation and life stage,” Simó explained. “Our commitment extends through every step of the journey—we stand by our clients before, during, and after they make this major life decision to purchase property.”
Banco BHD brings deep institutional experience in serving the financial needs of Dominicans living outside the country. The bank has a proven track record of supporting similar cross-border real estate engagement initiatives, including prior sponsored fairs held in Madrid, Spain, and Zurich, Switzerland, building on years of outreach to the global Dominican diaspora.
