Rocky River Developer Kolter Wins Gold and Silver at the 2024 Charlotte Parade of Homes

Kolter Homes, a leading real estate developer, recently won both gold and silver awards at the 2024 Charlotte Parade of Homes. These prestigious awards recognize Kolter’s commitment to quality and innovation in homebuilding, underscoring Kolter’s success in the competitive Charlotte real estate market and its ability to design homes that appeal to buyers looking for a balance of luxury and efficiency.

The Cresswind models, which earned the awards, are a great example of Kolter’s approach. These homes combine smart design, luxury, and energy-saving features that make them a popular choice for homebuyers. This success at the Parade of Homes is just another example of Kolter’s dedication to creating top-tier residential communities.

For those looking for investment opportunities, the Rocky River EB-5 project—developed by Kolter and sponsored by EB5AN—also presents a promising project. This development will feature designs similar to the award-winning Cresswind models, giving investors a chance to participate in a high-quality real estate project backed by Kolter’s proven success.

About Kolter’s Recognition at the Charlotte Parade of Homes

Kolter Homes’ gold and silver wins at the 2024 Charlotte Parade of Homes highlight Kolter’s ability to create homes that meet high standards for both style and functionality.

Hosted by The Home Builders Association of Greater Charlotte, the Parade of Homes is a highly competitive annual event where builders showcase their best designs. The event functions as an open house, making it the Charlotte area’s largest such event.

During the event, participants can cast votes to choose which house models they liked the most. Known as People’s Choice, these are the awards Kolter won—gold for its Laurel model home and silver for its Riley model home.

Kolter’s recognition proves they have a strong placement in the market. It is also a testament to Kolter’s focus on building homes that are not only attractive but also practical and energy efficient. This is especially important for today’s homebuyers, who are looking for homes that help reduce energy costs and support a sustainable lifestyle.

The homes that won the gold and silver awards were Kolter’s Cresswind models. These homes bring luxury, comfort, and energy efficiency, all in one package. With spacious layouts, energy-saving features, and modern amenities, the Cresswind models are a popular choice for homebuyers in Charlotte.

The Rocky River Rural EB-5 Project

For EB-5 investors interested in projects developed by Kolter, the Rocky River rural EB-5 project is an ideal choice.

Located in an area expected to grow and featuring designs similar to the award-winning Cresswind models, the Rocky River project is a part of Kolter’s ongoing efforts to build communities that bring value to both homebuyers and investors.

Rocky River is sponsored by EB5AN, which gives foreign nationals the opportunity to invest in U.S. real estate through the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program. EB5AN and Kolter have collaborated on several successful EB-5 projects in the past, including Saltaire St. Petersburg and Twin Lakes Georgia.

Why Rocky River Is a Great Investment

There are several benefits to investing in the Rocky River project, especially for foreign nationals seeking U.S. residency through the EB-5 program. Here are a few reasons why this investment is appealing:

• I-956F Exemplar Approval: The Rocky River project has achieved a significant milestone by obtaining Form I-956F exemplar approval from USCIS. This approval confirms the project’s compliance with EB-5 requirements, including its business plan and job creation metrics. As a result, EB-5 investors in Rocky River can have increased confidence in the project’s adherence to regulatory standards, potentially leading to a more streamlined immigration process.
• Investor Guaranties: The project offers robust safeguards for EB-5 investors, including a job creation guaranty, a loan repayment guaranty, and an I-526E approval refund guaranty. Kolter ensures that all EB-5 funds are allocated to program-eligible expenditures, generating the direct and indirect jobs necessary for each investor’s permanent Green Card approval. Additionally, a Kolter parent company provides a loan repayment guaranty, committing its assets and equity to cover the loan balance if the borrower cannot repay on time. For added security, the project also features an I-526E approval refund guaranty, allowing investors to receive a timely return of their funds if USCIS denies their I-526E petition.
• Rural Targeted Employment Area (TEA): Rocky River is located in a designated rural TEA, which means the project qualifies for additional benefits like the reduced investment requirement of $800,000, reserved set-aside visa quotas, and priority processing of Form I-526E applications.
• High Demand for Quality Homes: The success of the Cresswind models shows that there’s a strong demand for high-quality, energy-efficient homes in this region. As this trend continues, the Rocky River development will likely benefit from a growing market for sustainable housing.
