Lakeview Landing is a 289-unit market-rate apartment community within a 48-acre master-planned mixed-use waterfront development on Lake Granbury in Granbury, Texas — one of the most popular recreational lakes in the Dallas–Fort Worth area. The broader development includes a hotel, single-family homes, multifamily apartments, and a boardwalk along the water’s edge. Residents will have access to a marina, a resort-style pool, a fourth-floor sky lounge overlooking the lake, pickleball courts, co-working spaces, walking trails, restaurants, and retail.
Despite its rural location, Downtown Fort Worth is a 45-minute drive via U.S. Highway 377, with connections to I-35W and I-30 providing easy access to Dallas, the Dallas–Fort Worth International Airport, and major employment centers across the metroplex. Granbury itself has been recognized by USA Today as a Best Historic Small Town and Best Summer Weekend Escape. Historic Downtown Granbury, a five-minute drive from the site, offers shops, restaurants, local breweries, and entertainment, along with annual events like the Granbury Wine Walk and Harvest Moon Festival, which draws more than 10,000 visitors each year.

Construction Progress
Site Preparation Complete
After more than a year of intensive excavation and grading, the site is now fully leveled and ready for the construction phases ahead. Preparing a waterfront site of this scale requires far more groundwork than a standard development — the terrain must be engineered to accommodate multiple building types, utility infrastructure, and direct water access, all while managing the conditions that come with a lakefront environment.
With that work now behind the project, utilities are in place and mass grading is complete. The team is preparing to begin construction on the internal street network, which will connect the various components of the development and set the framework for vertical construction to follow.
Seawall Construction Enables Direct Boat Access for Single-Family Homes
One of the more distinctive features of the Lakeview Landing development is the construction of a seawall along the waterfront. The seawall is designed to support boat docks, giving residents direct boat access to Lake Granbury. For a lake that draws recreational users from across the Dallas–Fort Worth area, boat dock access is an important amenity — and one that sets this development apart from most lakeside communities in the region.
A Rural EB-5 Project With Strong Investor Protections
The Lakeview Landing (loan) EB-5 investment is structured as a secured loan with a three-year term and only one optional one-year extension. This is a notably shorter capital commitment than most EB-5 loan offerings, which reduces the window during which investor funds are at risk. EB5AN serves as the independent regional center sponsor and general partner of the EB-5 fund — entirely separate from RCR, the developer. The Lakeview Landing (equity) project is an EB-5 equity investment opportunity with an above-market 4% preferred return and a three-year target investment duration.
Because Lakeview Landing is located in a rural targeted employment area (TEA), investors qualify for the $800,000 minimum investment rather than the standard $1,050,000. Rural TEA investors also receive priority processing of their I-526E petition and access to the 20% rural visa set-aside. These set-aside visas currently carry no backlog, which means investors from countries that would otherwise face years of waiting under the unreserved EB-5 queue — including India and China — can move through the immigration process significantly faster by investing in a qualifying rural project.
An Experienced Developer With a Proven Track Record
Lakeview Landing is being developed by Realty Capital Residential (RCR), the residential development division of Realty Capital Management. RCR specializes in multifamily communities across Texas and Colorado and has developed, or is actively developing, nearly 2,000 units representing over $500 million in total development cost. The firm’s experience spans garden-style apartments, high-rise buildings, and mixed-use developments with retail and clubhouse amenities — a range that maps directly onto what Lakeview Landing requires.
The project follows the same structure as EB5AN’s fully subscribed Boynton Beach Multifamily and Terra Ceia Multifamily projects, as well as the available Brandon Multifamily project, all of which have received Form I-956F approval from USCIS. That consistency of structure is meaningful for investors doing due diligence: the legal and operational framework underlying Lakeview Landing has already been tested and approved across multiple comparable projects.
Investor protections include an I-526E approval refund guaranty, a job creation guaranty, and a completion guaranty provided as part of the EB-5 loan. The project is projected to create 659 qualifying EB-5 jobs through construction and operations — well above the 480 jobs needed to satisfy the requirements of all investors. That buffer significantly reduces immigration risk by ensuring job creation targets are met even if certain assumptions in the economic model come in below projections.
