Rocky River is a planned 1,120-home community offering a full range of lifestyle amenities, currently under development by Kolter Homes. Part of the Cresswind portfolio, this 55+ active adult community is located in Locust, North Carolina, approximately 45 minutes east of Charlotte.
Building on the success of Kolter’s 13 prior Cresswind communities, including the award-winning Twin Lakes Georgia, Rocky River continues to benefit from the company’s extensive experience delivering large-scale residential projects on time and within budget. Collectively, these developments have delivered over 6,300 units and remain either complete or under active construction.

Construction Progress
Construction activity at Rocky River advanced steadily through December, with crews maintaining momentum on both the North and South sides of the site.
On the South side, work progressed from the completion of storm drain installation and roadway paving in November into continued fine grading and power system installation in December. Crews also initiated construction of the community’s entry monuments and guard houses, while early electrical installations supporting the pump stations moved forward. The project team also prepared to record the final plat for the South side.
Meanwhile, on the North side, crews continued installation of underground power throughout both months, maintaining a consistent pace. Offsite utility work along Coley Store Road also advanced, with the water main moving into the tie-in and testing phase, while construction of the offsite forced main continued in parallel.
Work also progressed on the pump stations, with electrical installations beginning and further advancing the infrastructure that will serve the broader community.
With multiple infrastructure systems advancing simultaneously and major sitework activities nearing completion, Rocky River remains on track as it moves into the next phase of development in early 2026.
A Rural EB-5 Project With Strong Fundamentals
Rocky River is being developed by Kolter Homes, part of the Kolter Group. Kolter’s projects, particularly its Cresswind brand for active adults age 55+, have been recognized nationally.
Since 1997, Kolter has invested in projects with an expected value of over $37 billion, completed over 100 residential projects, and delivered over 27,000 units. Today, Kolter has investments in 90+ additional residential projects, expected to deliver 65,000 units.
In over 25 years of completing projects, Kolter has successfully repaid billions in loans and has never failed to repay a loan.
Kolter’s track record of successfully repaying loans and finishing projects provides for strong and long-standing relationships with leading financial institutions in the United States, including some of the nation’s largest banks.
Kolter and EB5AN have worked together on 30+ prior EB-5 projects. All prior Kolter–EB5AN projects have either been completed as planned or are on track toward successful completion. All EB-5 funding in these projects has either been repaid or is in good standing.
Targeting a Stable, Affluent Buyer Segment
Rocky River is designed for financially secure retirees and semi-retirees, with an average move-in age of 72. Buyers in this demographic often have substantial home equity and retirement savings, allowing them to make purchases in cash or with sizable down payments, even in higher interest rate environments.
With baby boomers controlling over $18 trillion in U.S. housing wealth, 55+ communities like Rocky River tend to remain insulated from broader market fluctuations, maintaining strong sales momentum despite economic uncertainty.
Targeting this financially secure demographic allows Kolter to ensure Rocky River maintains steady performance throughout the development process.
