Developed by The Kolter Group, the project has not only emerged as a landmark destination but has also delivered on its financial and immigration promises for EB-5 investors.
With the return of invested capital, EB5AN reinforces its reputation as a trusted regional center operator with a consistent track record of successful EB-5 projects.

A Proven Collaboration: EB5AN and Kolter
Mark Sarasota is part of a growing portfolio of successful EB5AN-sponsored projects developed by The Kolter Group, one of the most experienced and respected real estate developers in the United States. Together, EB5AN and Kolter have collaborated on over 20 EB-5 projects, all of which have achieved or are on track to achieve their financial and immigration objectives.
Kolter, founded in 1997, has never failed to repay a loan across its 25+ year history. The firm has invested more than $30 billion across a broad spectrum of real estate sectors, including master-planned communities, luxury condominiums, multifamily housing, and branded hotels. This level of expertise and financial responsibility makes Kolter an ideal development partner for EB5AN.
A Coastal Icon in the Heart of Downtown
Mark Sarasota is a modern, luxury condominium complex located in the walkable, culturally rich core of downtown Sarasota. With contemporary architecture and thoughtfully designed living spaces, the development quickly became one of the city’s most desirable residential addresses.
What sets Mark Sarasota apart is its mix of lifestyle and location. The project features rooftop amenities and retail space that contribute to the city’s vibrant downtown community. The project was designed to integrate seamlessly into Sarasota’s urban fabric while offering a private, upscale living experience.
A Financially Sound EB-5 Investment
One of the most attractive aspects of the Mark Sarasota EB-5 project was its financial independence from EB-5 funding. Like all EB5AN-Kolter regional center developments managed by EB5AN, the project was not reliant on EB-5 capital to reach completion. This strategic approach ensured that construction and project timelines remained on track regardless of EB-5 funding timelines, reducing risk for all investors.
Additionally, all 28 EB-5 investors in Mark Sarasota were credited with significantly more than the required 10 jobs per investor, comfortably meeting the job creation criteria for the EB-5 program. The project generated over 1,177 jobs—enough to allocate 42 jobs per investor. This high job cushion is a key feature of all EB5AN-sponsored projects and a critical factor for ensuring investors qualify for their permanent Green Cards.
Why Repayment Matters for Future EB-5 Investors
For prospective EB-5 investors, choosing the right project and regional center is a crucial decision that can impact both immigration success and financial outcome. Not all regional centers have a history of fully repaying investors, or even securing project approvals through USCIS.
EB5AN, however, stands apart with a robust record of fully repaid EB-5 projects, a 100% USCIS approval rate for regional center projects managed by EB5AN, and thousands of jobs created across its portfolio. Every completed EB5AN-Kolter project has either repaid investors or is on track to do so, and has exceeded the job creation requirement.
Mark Sarasota continues this legacy. This successful repayment reinforces EB5AN’s credibility and reliability as an EB-5 regional center, and serves as a signal to current and future investors that their capital is in experienced, responsible hands.
More Than 20 Projects and Counting
The successful repayment of the Mark Sarasota project adds to EB5AN’s growing legacy of high-performing EB-5 projects.
Previous EB5AN-Kolter collaborations, such as Water Club, VUE Sarasota, Hyatt Fort Lauderdale, and Hyatt Boca Raton have also delivered strong results. Investors in these projects have already received I-829 approvals, securing their permanent U.S. Green Cards.
EB5AN’s team has been active in the EB-5 industry since 2013, bringing years of experience in structuring projects that satisfy the program’s complex requirements while mitigating risk for investors.
A Safe Pathway to U.S. Residency
The successful repayment of EB-5 investors in Mark Sarasota is more than just a financial milestone. It’s a reaffirmation of EB5AN’s core mission: to help investors achieve U.S. permanent residency through smart, secure real estate investments and the timely return of capital.
As EB5AN continues to structure new projects with Kolter, future investors can look forward to more opportunities to invest in financially secure developments backed by a long history of success.
