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. Kolter Homes has vast experience delivering single-family home communities on time and on budget, and Rocky River is following the same proven model.
When fully completed, Rocky River is projected to produce far more jobs than required for all expected investors.
This consistent, well-documented job creation is a key reason why Rocky River remains one of the most secure EB-5 opportunities available today. EB-5 investors can be confident that the project is on track to create the jobs necessary for immigration approval and to repay invested capital.

September 2025 Job Creation Progress for Rocky River
In September, $1.7 million of new development expenditures created approximately 22.2 new EB-5 jobs.
The Importance of Job Creation for EB-5 Investors
Under EB-5 program rules, each investor must demonstrate that his or her investment generated at least 10 qualifying jobs for U.S. workers. When an investor reaches the end of the two-year conditional residency period, USCIS requires proof that job creation occurred.
Because of this, the immigration risk of an EB-5 offering is tied directly to the project’s job creation performance.
Some EB-5 projects still on the market have yet to start construction, and these projects usually generate few or no jobs. If such projects experience financial obstacles, they may not spend enough money to create sufficient jobs, putting investors at risk of denial.
Rocky River avoids these risks. Kolter’s established Cresswind development model has been producing consistent job creation month after month. This track record gives Rocky River EB-5 investors a high degree of immigration safety, backed by real construction spending and real job creation.
Investors in Rocky River can proceed confidently, knowing that the job totals required to remove conditions and secure permanent residency are expected to be met comfortably.
Reasons for the Success of Cresswind Communities
A Wealthy Target Market
Rocky River serves a fast-growing and financially strong demographic: active adults age 55 and older. With an average move-in age around 72, this buyer pool represents the leading edge of the baby boomer generation. Age-restricted communities historically sell at premium prices compared to standard housing.
Most buyers in this segment already own homes and often have considerable equity. Baby boomers are the wealthiest generation in America, holding more than $18 trillion in housing wealth, over three times that of millennials. Since they frequently make large down payments or purchase with cash, older buyers are less sensitive to high interest rates.
By focusing on this financially resilient demographic, Rocky River is positioned for long-term demand and stability.
Ideal Location and Amenities for Active Adults
Retirees and seniors often prefer to live near major metro areas for easy access to healthcare, transportation, and essential services. Rocky River is located under one hour from Charlotte Douglas International Airport, one of the busiest airports in the United States and a major hub for American Airlines. The Charlotte region is also among the nation’s fastest-growing metro areas.
Beyond its strong regional advantages, the community will include a comprehensive suite of on-site amenities, such as a modern clubhouse, event and social spaces, and numerous fitness and recreational facilities, designed specifically for active adults.
Kolter: A Leader in Active Adult Homebuilding
