Twin Lakes Georgia, a single-family home development for active adults age 55+ near Atlanta, Georgia, has reached one of the most significant milestones for any EB-5 project. As reflected in the project’s latest job creation report, Twin Lakes has now created all required jobs for all EB-5 investors across all Twin Lakes funds.

As of January 31, 2026, Kolter has spent $383.1 million on EB-5 eligible development activities. These expenditures have created 5,557 qualifying EB-5 jobs.

Because the Twin Lakes project expects to accept up to 551 EB-5 investors in total, it must create at least 5,510 jobs. Twin Lakes has already exceeded that requirement.

Twin Lakes’ EB-5 investors now enjoy a level of immigration safety that is rare in the EB-5 market. With this achievement, the final economic impact analysis to be included in Twin Lakes investors’ I-829 petitions has already been prepared. This evidence of job creation will enable Twin Lakes’ investors to remove conditions from their Green Cards and become permanent residents of the United States.

The final economic impact analysis for Twin Lakes is available upon request.

To EB5AN’s knowledge, Twin Lakes is the only EB-5 project currently available that has both achieved full job creation for all EB-5 investors with an economic impact analysis prepared for investors’ Form I-829 petitions evidencing such job creation. This is a significant benefit. The economic impact analysis connects project spending to qualifying EB-5 job creation and gives investors the core project-level documentation needed to show USCIS that the job creation requirement has been satisfied.

Twin Lakes is being built by the Kolter Group. Kolter is one of the largest homebuilders in the Southeast United States, has completed over 100 residential projects, and has delivered more than 27,000 homes. Their Cresswind brand focuses on building active adult communities like Twin Lakes. Kolter’s market knowledge and ability to perform in a difficult economy have driven this project’s financial success.

Twin Lakes Georgia is located in the city of Hoschton, Georgia. Hoschton is situated within the Jefferson, Georgia micropolitan statistical area, which was ranked by an independent study as the #1 rural area for EB-5 investment.

Twin Lakes Georgia was named the 55+ Housing Community of the Year at the 43rd Annual OBIE Awards gala. They also won Gold awards in Best Landscape Design and Best Amenity. In the 44th Annual OBIE Awards, Twin Lakes Georgia’s Pear model home won a silver OBIE.

As a testament to the award-winning community, Twin Lakes has kept up strong, consistent sales volume throughout 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and into 2026. As of March 31, 2026, 874 homes have been sold, and 779 homes have been constructed, closed, and turned over to buyers.

Sales have remained high despite elevated mortgage rates. Strong sales mean more than just profits. After a home is sold, vertical construction begins. Construction activities result in job creation for EB-5 investors. At Twin Lakes, those activities have now created more than enough qualifying jobs for all EB-5 investors across all funds.
Financial success and completed job creation are two key reasons why Twin Lakes remains one of the safest EB-5 projects available. EB-5 investors can have confidence that the project has already created enough jobs for them to qualify for permanent Green Cards.

Twin Lakes Has Created All Required Jobs for All EB-5 Investors

As of January 31, 2026, Twin Lakes has created 5,557 qualifying EB-5 jobs. The jobs were created through $383.1 million in EB-5 eligible development spending by Kolter.

The project expects to accept up to 551 EB-5 investors across all funds. Since the EB-5 program requires each investor’s capital to create at least 10 jobs for U.S. workers, the total requirement for all Twin Lakes investors is 5,510 jobs. The latest job creation report shows that Twin Lakes has already created more than enough jobs to meet this requirement for every EB-5 investor in the project.

At completion, Twin Lakes is expected to create approximately 6,934 jobs.

The report also shows that each Twin Lakes fund has met 100% of its job creation requirement. All funds have enough allocated jobs to satisfy the EB-5 job creation requirement for their investors.

Why Full Job Creation Maximizes Safety for EB-5 Investors

The EB-5 program requires each foreign investor’s funds to create at least 10 new jobs for U.S. workers. When an EB-5 investor has completed the two-year period of conditional residence in the United States, he or she must prove to USCIS that the required jobs were created. As a result, an EB-5 project’s immigration risk is closely tied to its job creation progress.

Many EB-5 projects on the market are still in the early stages of development. Very few have completed enough construction or spending to create all of the jobs needed for their EB-5 investors. If those projects run into financial, construction, market, or permitting difficulties, they may not create enough qualifying jobs. That can expose investors to RFEs, delays, or denials at the Form I-829 stage.

Investing in an EB-5 project that has already created all required jobs significantly reduces immigration risk. Generally, the more jobs already created by an EB-5 project, the lower the immigration risk for its investors. When all required jobs have already been created, investors can focus more heavily on their personal source-of-funds documentation and other individual petition requirements.

Because of its completed job creation, Twin Lakes Georgia offers EB-5 investors a level of immigration safety that is rare in the EB-5 market. Enough jobs have already been created for Twin Lakes investors to remove conditions from their temporary Green Cards and remain in the United States as permanent residents, assuming USCIS accepts each investor’s personal documentation and full petition.

A Prepared I-829 Economic Impact Analysis Further Strengthens Twin Lakes

Full job creation is especially valuable when it is supported by clear documentation. For EB-5 investors, this documentation becomes most important at the Form I-829 stage. Form I-829 is the petition investors file after their period of conditional residence to prove that the required jobs were created and to obtain permanent Green Cards.

The full economic impact analysis that will support Twin Lakes investors’ Form I-829 petitions has already been prepared. This report organizes the project’s EB-5 eligible spending and applies the relevant economic multipliers to show how those expenditures resulted in qualifying jobs. In practical terms, it gives investors and their immigration attorneys the project-level evidence needed to document Twin Lakes’ job creation to USCIS.

To EB5AN’s knowledge, Twin Lakes is the only EB-5 project currently available that has both created all required jobs for all EB-5 investors and already prepared the economic impact analysis that will support investors’ Form I-829 petitions.

Reasons for Twin Lakes Georgia’s Success

A Wealthy Target Market Unaffected by Rising Interest Rates

As an age 55+ community, Twin Lakes targets a fast-growing, affluent buyer segment: aging baby boomers. With an industry average move-in age of 72, the active adult segment is at the forefront of the baby boomer wave. Historically, 55+ age-restricted communities command strong premiums over market-rate housing. Since buyers are often already homeowners, they also tend to have significant equity in their previous homes.

Baby boomers are the wealthiest demographic in the United States. They have significant homebuying power since they can make larger down payments. According to Fortune, baby boomers’ housing wealth totals $18 trillion—more than triple the amount owned by millennials.

In recent years, baby boomers have also reclaimed their place as America’s top homebuying group. The title had been held by millennial homebuyers from 2014 until 2022.

With more savings and equity at their disposal, many seniors make large down payments. In many cases, seniors pay for new homes in cash, without the need for a mortgage.

About 50% of buyers in Twin Lakes pay in cash instead of using a loan. With less or no need for a mortgage, these buyers are less exposed to higher borrowing costs.

By targeting the senior demographic, Twin Lakes has positioned itself for long-term success. The project’s strong sales have translated directly into construction progress, EB-5 eligible spending, and qualifying job creation.

Ideal Location and Amenities for Active Adults

Seniors and retirees who are looking for new housing often want to be close to a major urban center. Living close to a large city gives them access to healthcare, transportation, shopping, and other key services and amenities.

Twin Lakes is only one hour away from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. This airport is a central transportation hub and home to Delta Air Lines. The Atlanta metro area is also known for its world-class healthcare.

In addition to having access to Atlanta and other local businesses, Twin Lakes offers an appealing list of on-site amenities. These include a state-of-the-art clubhouse, event spaces, and a variety of athletic and recreational facilities. The main clubhouse, which includes the fitness center, indoor pool, outdoor pool, meeting spaces, and more, is complete and open to residents and their guests. The pickleball courts are also complete and open for use.

Kolter: The #1 Active Adult Homebuilder in Atlanta

In 2022, the Kolter Group was the largest active adult single-family homebuilder in the Atlanta metro area. Kolter had a 17% market share, ahead of Lennar, PulteGroup, and DR Horton. Recently, both Lennar and DR Horton announced a major investment from Warren Buffett’s holding company Berkshire Hathaway, which shows how attractive the new homebuilding market is right now.

Kolter’s projects, particularly its Cresswind brand for active adults age 55+, have been recognized nationally. Twin Lakes is a Cresswind-branded community.

Since 1997, Kolter has invested in projects with an expected value of over $30 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 20+ 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.
