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, 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.
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.

Construction Progress
Building Layout Begins on Buildings 1 and 2
With grading complete, crews have started laying out the footprints of the residential buildings. The most visible work this month is the setting of batter boards. They give the construction team a precise reference for digging and forming, which keeps the structure square and dimensionally accurate from the start.
Batter boards have now been set for Building 1. On Building 2, crews have set batter boards and pulled the lines for the forms, the molds that will hold poured concrete in place. Pulling these lines is the immediate precursor to forming and pouring the foundation.
Surcharge Soil Removed at Building 4
At Building 4, the team is removing soil that was placed there for surcharging. This reduces the risk of uneven settling later, which is especially important on a waterfront site where soil conditions need careful management. With that pre-loading work done, the surcharge soil is being hauled off the Building 4 pad.
Surveyors Prepare to Set the Building Envelopes
On the broader site work, surveyors are preparing to set the building envelope corners. This step ties the layout work on the individual buildings back to the master site plan and confirms everything lines up before forming and foundation work moves ahead across the development.
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 investment duration 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. 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.
