Rocky River is a 1,120 single-family home community with amenities, being developed by Kolter Homes. This Cresswind community is an age-restricted, 55+ active adult community in Locust, North Carolina, about 45 minutes from downtown Charlotte, North Carolina.
Rocky River follows 13 successful Cresswind communities developed by Kolter Homes, including Twin Lakes Georgia. Each of these projects is either completed or currently under construction, with more than 5,800 homes already built and turned over to buyers.
On May 29, 2025, an investor received the first I-526E approval in the Rocky River project in only 6.5 months. This swift adjudication should give confidence to other Rocky River investors that their I-526E petitions are on track for prompt approval.

Rocky River’s First I-526E Approval
The first Form I-526E approval for EB5AN Rocky River Fund 29, LP was received in only 6.5 months—marking the fastest rural I-526E approval on record for an EB5AN investor. The investor filed their I-526E petition in November 2024 and received approval in May 2025. For EB-5 investors, every month saved on adjudication accelerates the journey toward conditional permanent residency and eventual U.S. citizenship.
Building on a Proven Track Record
Rocky River is the 14th Cresswind community developed by Kolter Homes. Over the past 25 years, Kolter has invested in real estate projects totaling more than $30.0 billion in value, developing thousands of single-family homes across the Southeast. As one of the 20 largest private home builders in the United States, Kolter has borrowed billions of dollars and has never failed to repay a loan. All EB-5 investments in Kolter projects are in good standing or have been repaid.
Kolter, through its Kolter Homes division, has extensive experience developing single-family home communities. In the greater Charlotte area, it has already developed two other successful Cresswind communities: Cresswind Charlotte and Cresswind Wesley Chapel.
