EB5 Capital connects qualified investors with prominent real estate development partners to finance high-quality mixed-use, hospitality, and residential development projects that fulfill the mission of the U.S. government’s EB-5 Visa Program. Under the Program, foreign (international) investors can qualify for permanent U.S. residency by investing in new business enterprises that create jobs for U.S. workers. The program is administered by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), an agency of the Department of Homeland Security.
EB5 Capital owns and operates USCIS-designated Regional Centers in multiple states, most notably Washington, D.C., California, and New York, with 10 current and completed projects and three more in the pre-development phase. EB5 Capital has raised funds from foreign investors in nearly 50 countries, maintaining a 100% approval rate for all past investor visa petitions. EB5 Capital is one of only a handful of Regional Centers that has returned capital to investors across multiple transactions. This success comes from working with experienced development partners, using rigorous due diligence standards to select projects, and investing in strong real estate markets.
