WASHINGTON, Jan. 06, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- “EB5 Capital remains optimistic about EB-5 development opportunities for 2020. After closing all of our recent offerings, we are now preparing to launch exciting new EB-5 deals in the coming months - all compliant with the amended EB-5 regulations that became effective as of November 21, 2019. We are working to provide the best opportunities available to our investors and to ensure that the program continues to thrive. We’re focused on three fronts.
“First, we are seeking to structure sound EB-5 investment opportunities that qualify at the $900,000 minimum investment amount and that are located in Targeted Employment Areas (TEA) as determined by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). In our 27-project portfolio, we’ve focused on delivering EB-5 investments that pass stringent underwriting standards to protect our investors and their pathway to the United States. Our upcoming projects will adhere to the same due diligence process that has earned our firm 10 project repayments and five successful redeployment transactions.
“Second, we remain heavily involved with industry and government leaders in the pursuit of new EB-5 legislation that will provide certainty for the program and its use as an economic development tool. Our goal is to drive consensus on legislative reform, featuring strong integrity measures, and a revised minimum investment amount that will best serve the economic goals of the program.
“Third, EB5 Capital is closely following progress on the lawsuit filed against DHS in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia that could pause the new regulations, while industry stakeholders negotiate new legislation. We will continue to work with partners and share updates as this process unfolds.
“The EB-5 industry needs comprehensive reform to continue to deliver jobs to economically distressed areas, fulfill its mandate as a self-funded, job-creating program, and provide a pathway to the American dream for families willing to pursue it. I enthusiastically look forward to the next era of the EB-5 program.”
