EB5AN’s Twin Lakes Wins Several Awards at the 43rd OBIE Awards Gala

EB5AN is proud to announce that Cresswind Georgia at Twin Lakes, one of its premier EB-5 projects, has achieved regional recognition.

Cresswind Georgia at Twin Lakes is a 55+ housing community that offers great potential for investment return along with the benefits of working with an EB-5 regional center. This gated community, which will make up half of the 2,600 homes at the larger Twin Lakes community in Hoschton, Georgia, was recognized as the 2023 55+ Housing Community of the Year at the 43rd Annual OBIE Awards gala of the Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association (HBA) and the Atlanta Sales and Marketing Council (SMC).

 

The 1,300 dwellings in the 55+ community are being constructed by Kolter Homes, an award-winning division of the Kolter Group, LLC. Cresswind Georgia also earned Gold OBIE Awards for Best Landscape Design, Best Amenity Package, and Best Interactive Tool.

The project additionally won a Silver OBIE for Best Video Promotion. This recognition is due largely to the expertise of Kolter Homes, a leader in master-planned communities in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina for almost thirty years.

The outstanding amenities at Cresswind Georgia attracted 161 home buyers in 2022, the top result for active adult home sales in the state of Georgia. They were attracted by outdoor activities like fishing, kayaking, and canoeing on the lakes. The pickleball facilities are extremely popular – upon completion of the community, there will be over forty courts, making it the largest private pickleball complex in Georgia. For those who would rather watch, there is a spectator pavilion dubbed the “Eagle’s Nest.”

Residents can also take advantage of community gardening and hiking activities. They can relax by the outdoor pool or go to Club Cresswind, which boasts an indoor pool with lap lanes, multi-purpose event rooms, an arts and crafts room with a kiln, plus a SmartFIT training center with EGYM fitness technology. The clubhouse offers magnificent views of the lakefront, and there is even an event lawn with a bandshell.

All these facilities are geared toward promoting Cresswind’s “Set Yourself FREE” goals of Fitness, Relationships, Education, and Entertainment. There is something for everyone, including clubs for hiking, travel, cooking, and veterans’ support. Jennifer Landers, Community Director at Cresswind Georgia, stated, “Winning at the OBIEs isn’t just about recognition; it’s a testament to our ability to create a community that residents are proud to call home.”

Home prices at Cresswind Georgia start in the upper $300,000s and can go as high as $1,000,000 with customization. Fifteen model homes are open for tours, both in person and online.

Potential EB-5 investors should take note that Cresswind Georgia at Twin Lakes has been acclaimed by MarketNsight as the top-selling community for active adults in both the state of Georgia and the Atlanta area.

This is an excellent opportunity for a timely return on your investment and for successfully meeting the goals of the EB-5 program while getting a Green Card with minimal risk.

Reasons to Invest with EB5AN

EB5AN is a regional center operator and EB-5 investment manager founded in 2013 to help foreign nationals navigate the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program for U.S. residency. The program allows applicants to obtain a Green Card and, if desired, U.S. citizenship through investing in new commercial enterprises (NCEs) that stimulate economic growth.

By joining a pool of investors in a regional center, an investor can navigate the immigration process more easily than through direct investment. They also take advantage of indirect job creation to meet the goal of ten full-time U.S. jobs per applicant.

One of the benefits of working with a regional center on a targeted employment area (TEA) project like Twin Lakes Georgia is a minimum investment of $800,000 – reduced from the standard $1,050,000. Thanks to the passing of the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022, when you invest in a rural TEA, your I-526E petition can be processed faster. Twin Lakes is in a rural TEA.

United States Citizen and Immigration Services (USCIS) reserves 32% of its visas for investors in rural TEAs (20%), high-unemployment TEAs (10%), and public infrastructure projects (2%). If a foreign national is from a country that has a long wait for immigration processing, this can cut the processing time substantially.

EB5AN will guide you from the filing of Form I-526E (Immigrant Petition by Regional Center Investor) through your submission of Form I-829, the petition that removes conditions on your permanent resident status.
