Who we are
November 6 Investments is led by Gabe Velasquez and Bill Ganus, who wanted to create spaces for innovative concepts that don’t always fit traditional landlord models. Their experience includes Historic Tax Credits, New Market Tax Credits, traditional and non-traditional debt and equity structures, and local, state, and federal incentive programs, and (C)PACE vehicles. N6I believes that focusing on the highest and best use of real estate—then recruiting and resourcing the best tenants—provides the strongest returns for both neighborhoods and investors.
Gabriel Velasquez is Venezuelan-born but a Memphis-native at heart. Originally arriving in the US with his family at the age of eight, Mr. Velasquez lived in Memphis until graduating from Christian Brothers High School. While earning his bachelor’s degree in finance, he founded a medical recruitment company and pharmaceutical importer to Latin America. After completing his degree, he relocated to Venezuela where he served as Treasurer and Chief Investment Officer to a firm of over six hundred employees and managed an investment fund geared towards the mitigation of the economic hyperinflation through currency arbitrage and importation. Since returning to Memphis in 2015, Mr. Velasquez, as head of investments, has helped steer DarSalud Care, a multi-specialty healthcare organization committed to providing Memphis underserved minority population with preventive care and treatment solutions. In this role, he also founded DarSalud Pharmacy to ameliorate pervasive healthcare barriers including polypharmacy, fragmentation of care and accessibility to treatment. In 2017, Mr. Velasquez founded November 6 Investments, a real estate development firm committed to Memphis’ continued growth and prosperity. Mr. Velasquez works, owns, and consults on projects across several industries including, medical, pharmaceutical, health and fitness, but predominantly focusing on commercial and residential real estate development opportunities in the Memphis market.
Bill Ganus is an investor, advisor, and business development professional who has built partnerships and opened businesses in real estate, food and beverage, health and fitness, media and tech industries. Additionally, Mr. Ganus has consulted with dozens of real estate developments, food and beverage businesses, investors, and foundations. Mr. Ganus served as the operating partner for the reopening of the Historic Clayborn Temple in Memphis, TN, after decades of abandonment, and he is now the Owner/Publisher of Edible Memphis, a local food media company that produces digital and print content to support the local food industry. The broad diversity of professional experiences, combined with master's and doctoral work in Organic Chemistry, provide a unique mix of data-driven, fiscally-responsible, and socially-minded project leadership. Mr. Ganus' current focus on mixed-use real estate development was precipitated by experiences as a tenant in search of innovative developments to join. With operations and business development experience across multiple industries, Mr. Ganus enjoys working with prospective stakeholders to build the partnerships that are quantifiably impactful for investors, tenants, and communities.
