Lakeview Landing Rural EB-5 Project July 2026 Construction Update

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

Lakeview Landing Holds Groundbreaking Ceremony

On July 29, 2026, the project team held the official groundbreaking ceremony on site at Lakeview Landing. Sitework has been underway for months, so the ceremony marks a formal milestone. It comes as the project moves out of the horizontal phase of grading and site infrastructure and into vertical construction on the four residential buildings, with foundation work now visibly progressing on Building 1.

Lakeview Landing Foundation Work Advances

The most significant technical progress this month is happening below the surface. Underground plumbing, the network of drain and supply lines that must be installed before any concrete slab is poured, is now complete on Building 1 and Building 3. On both buildings, the trenches have been backfilled, meaning soil has been placed back over the inspected pipes and compacted to support the slab above. On Building 1, foundation form boards are also complete, and work is progressing on the elevator pit, the recessed section of the foundation that will sit at the base of the elevator shaft.

Underground Plumbing Continues at Building 4

At Building 4, underground plumbing installation is in progress. Once the plumbing is inspected and backfilled, Building 4 will reach the same stage as Buildings 1 and 3, with foundation forming and pouring to follow.

Utilities and Fire Loop Extend Across the Site

Beyond the individual building pads, underground utility installation is ongoing east of Building 2. This work brings water, sewer, and other services from the main connections out to the buildings they will serve.

Crews are also making progress on the fire loop, the looped water main that will feed the site’s fire hydrants and sprinkler risers. Installing it now, alongside the other underground work, keeps the site on schedule before slabs and structures go in above.

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.

More than 3,000 families from over 70 countries have selected EB-5 projects sponsored by EB5AN regional centers. Our expert team has more than a decade of experience and offers clients high-quality, low-risk EB-5 regional center projects with a 100% USCIS project approval rate.
