The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Visa Program provides foreign investors a unique opportunity to obtain a Green Card by investing in real estate projects in the United States. These projects, also known as EB5 real estate projects, are specifically designed to satisfy program requirements, such as creating jobs for American workers.

EB5 real estate development projects have included a wide range of commercial properties:
- New hotel builds and vacation resorts, numerous prominent hotel chains have utilized EB5 capital over the past three decades and will continue to do so in 2024,
- Rehabilitation and elderly care facilities,
- Medical facilities,
- Residential accommodations: single-home communities and multifamily complexes,
- Mixed-use complexes.
Benefits for Investors
Investing in the EB5 Real Estate Program gives applicants the advantage of hard asset backing. Moreover, the previous minimum hold period of 5 years was usually in line with the timeframes for significant property developments, which made EB5 real estate investments a stable and obvious choice for a considerable percentage of total EB5 applicants.
EB-5 investors often prefer real estate projects due to collateral and potential ROI.
For many EB-5 investors, real estate is desirable because it offers tangible assets that investors' representatives can physically inspect. Additionally, investors appreciate the chance to conduct thorough due diligence on a project, such as background checks and appraisals, before making investment decisions.
Traditionally, EB5 real estate investments have been an effective hedge against inflation, helping to protect against any loss in the value of the U.S. dollar over time.
Benefits for Developers
EB-5 real estate investment projects offer significant benefits for developers, primarily through access to substantial capital to finance large-scale developments. Developers can secure funding for projects that might otherwise face financial constraints by attracting foreign investors seeking U.S. permanent residency.
This influx of capital can facilitate faster project completion, enhance project scope, and reduce reliance on traditional financing sources.
Additionally, EB-5 funding can help mitigate financial risk by diversifying the investment base and providing a stable source of funds. Furthermore, successful EB-5 projects can elevate a developer’s reputation and expand their network of international investors, potentially leading to future investment opportunities and partnerships.
