Profile

Evan A. Shields is Founder, CEO & Managing Partner of Indelible Capital Partners, an impact-driven real estate advisory & investment firm, proudly based in Miami, Florida.

IndeliCap is on a mission to invest $1 Billion over the next decade in real estate with an indelible impact on our world. As an owner & operator, IndeliCap strives to revitalize communities through the acquisition/development of market rate, mixed income, workforce housing, and single-family rentals across the Southeast U.S. As a Fractional CXO, IndeliCap provides emerging real estate firms dedicated part-time, institutional quality C-Suite executive services to help them achieve their investment goals in today’s complex market environment.

Evan is a business leader, educator and public servant who has dedicated his life to advancing economic opportunity for underinvested communities. As an executive, he has led the investment, development or asset management of more than $4.0 Billion in institutional commercial real estate assets under management (AUM), across every major property type, 30 U.S. metro areas, and a variety of fund structures. His work specifically in affordable housing has helped house more than 22,000 low-income seniors and families across 16 U.S. states.

Prior to founding IndeliCap, Evan served as Chief Operating Officer for BAS Holdings, a Miami-based single-family office focused on workforce housing and infrastructure. At BAS, Evan helped develop 117 workforce townhome rental units in South Florida and launched the U.S.’ first Solar Mortgage REIT. In other roles, he’s previously managed $600 Million in AUM for BridgeInvest, a leading Miami-based real estate debt fund, managed a $2.5 Billion AUM affordable housing bond portfolio for New York-based LIHTC/TEBs syndicator R4 Capital, and originated over $300 Million in institutional mortgages for PGIM Real Estate in New York, the global real estate business of Prudential.

Evan graduated from the University of Virginia, where he completed a distinguished major in Political & Social Thought. Both IndeliCap’s founding and Evan’s career have been inspired by his undergraduate fourth-year thesis at UVa, “Minority Entrepreneurship & Economic Development: Toward A New Model of Capital Access,” exploring the birth of the MESBIC industry in the 1960s and the growth of diverse private equity fund managers in the U.S since.

After college, Evan began his career as a high school math teacher with Teach For America, becoming a thirdgeneration Black educator in his family serving in low-income schools. He went on to earn an MBA with a full-tuition scholarship from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill - Kenan-Flagler Business School, with concentrations in Real Estate, Corporate Finance and Social Entrepreneurship. Evan is also currently a Public Leadership Credential candidate at the Harvard Kennedy School.

Evan resides in North Miami with his wife Dr. Adolphia Lauture-Shields, an OB-GYN and their infant daughter Josephine. Outside of IndeliCap, he chairs the City of North Miami’s Affordable Housing Advisory Commission and serves on the City’s Zoning Board of Adjustment. He also is a board director for Miami’s Next Leaders, Teach For America Miami-Dade, and the Greater North Miami Chamber of Commerce.
