ONE Tampa Is a Low-Risk Urban TEA EB-5 Loan Investment Opportunity with Multiple Safety Features
ONE Tampa is an EB-5 project in an urban (or high unemployment) targeted employment area (TEA). Because the project is in a TEA, the minimum investment amount is $800,000 instead of $1,050,000. This project offers investors many key features, including a loan repayment guaranty, an I-526E approval refund guaranty, and a job creation guaranty.
EB-5 funds will be used to develop a 42-story, luxury condominium tower in downtown Tampa, Florida, next to the Tampa Riverwalk and Curtis Waterfront Park. ONE Tampa enjoys all the cultural, social, and recreational advantages of Tampa city living.
The project’s developer is The Kolter Group. Kolter is one of the largest private real estate development and investment companies in the United States, with over $30 billion of in-process and realized development since 1997.
EB5AN is an EB-5 investment fund manager, USCIS-approved regional center operator, and consultancy. EB5AN helps foreign investors immigrate to the United States through investments in U.S. businesses under the EB-5 program.
Kolter and EB5AN have worked together on over 15 prior EB-5 projects, all of which have received 100% USCIS project approval to date, with 100% of EB-5 investment funds either repaid or in good standing.
Immigration and Financial Safety Features for Investors
ONE Tampa is a compelling urban EB-5 project that offers investors a clear path to a Green Card with limited immigration and financial risk.
Fund Administration
PRXY Fund Services, a third-party fund administration services company, will facilitate the administration of the fund in compliance with the integrity provisions of the RIA. Their proprietary PRXY Co. platform tracks and records all EB-5 draws and project expenditures throughout the project lifecycle and provides EB-5 investors with a real-time view of comprehensive project metrics.
Job Creation Guaranty
The ONE Tampa project features a job creation guaranty, which means Kolter will spend all the EB-5 funds on EB-5 program eligible expenditures. As a result, the project will create the direct and indirect jobs required for every EB-5 investor to get their permanent Green Cards approved.
EB-5 Loan Repayment Guaranty
EB-5 investments will be used to make a loan to fund the ONE Tampa project. A Kolter parent company has provided a loan repayment guaranty, which means that if the borrower were unable to repay the loan on time, the parent company’s assets and equity would be used to fully repay the balance of the loan.
I-526E Approval Refund Guaranty
The ONE Tampa project features an I-526E approval refund guaranty. This guaranty means that if an EB-5 investor’s I-526E petition is denied by USCIS, he or she may be able to receive a faster return of his or her money.
Construction Completion Guaranty
EB-5 investors in ONE Tampa benefit from a construction completion guaranty. This guaranty means that the developer of the project is guaranteeing the completion of the required construction to successfully complete the development of the project.
Urban TEA Visa Set Aside
The ONE Tampa project is located in an urban TEA. An investment in an urban project provides access to urban set-aside visas, which account for 10% of all EB-5 visas. Having access to set-aside visas means avoiding the long waits associated with visa backlogs.
Form I-956F Exemplar Approved by USCIS
ONE Tampa has received Form I-956F exemplar approval from USCIS. This approval means that USCIS has reviewed the project’s documents and found them to be compliant with the EB-5 program. By approving Form I-956F, USCIS has agreed ONE Tampa is in an urban TEA. USCIS also accepted the project’s job creation methodology, EB-5 investment structure, EB-5 loan security, and other safety features. As a result, investors can have greater confidence that an investment in ONE Tampa should result in a permanent Green Card.
Gross Maximum Price (GMP) Contract
Kolter has executed a gross maximum price (GMP) contract with Moss & Associates, a national construction management company. A GMP contract is signed between the project developer and a general contractor in charge of construction. Essentially, a GMP contract stipulates that the general contractor will complete the project at or below a fixed amount, and the general contractor will cover any costs that exceed this amount. A GMP contract with a reputable general contractor significantly reduces EB-5 investor risk.
