Eduardo Francisco Costantini is an Argentine real estate developer, businessman, and the self-made billionaire founder of Consultatio and the Museum of Latin American Art of Buenos Aires (MALBA). Born in Buenos Aires in 1946, he came from a middle-class family, one of seven children.

Costantini received a rigorous financial education, earning a bachelor's degree in economics from Universidad Católica Argentina (1971) and a Master's degree in quantitative economics from the University of East Anglia in England (1975). His career began in finance, serving as a controller and finance director for various companies, and later working as a stockbroker and Vice-President of Banco Francés del Río de la Plata. This financial acumen was the foundation for his massive pivot into real estate development.

Eduardo Costantini founded Consultatio SA in 1991, a company devoted to the development of large-scale real estate projects. His strategic vision was audacious: transform massive tracts of undeveloped land into sophisticated, self-contained, high-end communities. His greatest achievement is the development of Nordelta, the largest real estate venture in Argentina, a massive master-planned community located 30 kilometers from Buenos Aires city center.

His work has extended outside Argentina, including building the Las Garzas complex in Uruguay and investing $10 million in the construction of the iconic circular bridge (designed by Rafael Viñoly) that connects Rocha and Maldonado. The culmination of his career is his immense cultural contribution: in 2001, he donated over 220 Latin American artworks from his private collection to open MALBA, the Museum of Latin American Art of Buenos Aires, securing his legacy as a titan of both business and culture.

Eduardo Costantini's social impact is massive and structural, tied to urban development and cultural enrichment. The development of Nordelta reshaped the residential landscape near Buenos Aires. His structural cultural contribution is the founding of MALBA, providing a dedicated home for Latin American art and becoming a major cultural institution in Argentina.

His personal philanthropy supports various cultural and educational activities through the Eduardo F. Costantini Foundation. His commitment is to leveraging business success to create lasting community and cultural assets.

Eduardo Costantini maintains the highly professional, refined, and artistic style of an Argentine cultural and business mogul. His attire is consistently formal and high-quality, favoring tailored suits. His aesthetic is one of intellectual and cultural authority.

Residing in Buenos Aires, Argentina, his luxury is the immense security and autonomy derived from his multi-billion dollar fortune. His life is dedicated to the long-term development of essential real estate assets and his profound commitment to collecting and preserving Latin American art.
