EB5AN and Kolter are pleased to share the extensive progress of the Cresswind at Twin Lakes development project.
Cresswind at Twin Lakes is a 1,300 single-family home community development being constructed outside of Atlanta, Georgia. The project is located in a rural TEA, offering EB-5 investors a reduced investment amount, access to reserved EB-5 visas, and priority processing of their immigrant petitions. The project has already created thousands of qualifying EB-5 jobs.
The Kolter team continues to make significant construction progress. Sales for this compelling rural EB-5 project remain strong.
Progress on Amenities
As of June 30, 2023, the 30,000+ square foot club house is open to residents and guests. The first floor offers a game room, lounge with double-sided fireplace, hosting bar, ballroom for concerts and shows, and a presentation kitchen. On the second floor, residents have access to an arts and crafts studio featuring a kiln; a training center with free weights, cardio and strength machines, and exclusive EGYM equipment; a group fitness room; and a natatorium that includes an indoor pool with hot tub. The club house also offers residents access to the outdoor resort-style pool, event lawn with band shell/stage, and the boating and fishing dock.
Additionally, residents now have access to the dog park, community garden, and hiking trails. The project is situated on 30+ acres of lakes for fishing, canoeing, and kayaking. The community’s pickleball court complex with eagle’s nest viewing pavilion and 20+ courts is also open and hosting events.
Community Activities Highlights
Cresswind at Twin Lakes hosted multiple Pickleball Wars Tournaments in 2022 and 2023. These events were a huge success with hundreds of attendees at each tournament. Additionally, the community’s HOA management team has hosted clinics and other charitable events with strong attendance.
In 2023, Cresswind at Twin Lakes hosted multiple outdoor concerts, including a performance in the amphitheater by Sons of Sailors, a Jimmy Buffett cover band, for over 400 residents.
Addition to the Local Community
A Publix is projected to open at the entrance of Twin Lakes in 2024, which will provide residents with walking, golf cart, and convenient car access to groceries and other retail outlets within the shopping center.
Construction Update
While all primary amenities are complete, construction of the community infrastructure is ongoing. As of December 31, 2023, 589 houses have been sold to buyers, and 453 homes have been fully constructed and closed, with keys turned over to home buyers.
Sales Update
Home sales pace continues to exceed expectations. As of November 30, 2023, 580+ homes have been sold.
The VIP waitlist has remained strong, and the sales team will continue to focus on selling to this list initially with each lot release. For any remaining available homes in each phase, the new prospect marketing focus is highlighting the community’s prestigious amenities. The 2024 marketing plan is geared toward highlighting the newly opened club, pools, and outdoor amenity complex.
