Currently, the only EB-5 project in Manhattan with the potential to shorten the visa backlog and offering first-priority repayment—the 9 Orchard Luxury Boutique Hotel—has become one of the most popular projects in the EB-5 market. Since its launch, it has been highly sought after by investors, sparking a wave of U.S. investment immigration. To meet investor demand, the "9 Orchard" Shanghai briefing will be held on February 11. Act fast!

 

The 9 Orchard Luxury Boutique Hotel EB-5 project is located in a "Targeted Investment Area" as defined in the "American Job Creation and Investment Promotion Reform Act of 2017" (draft) proposed by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Grassley and Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Leahy. EB-5 investors will enjoy an annual quota of 1,500 priority visas.

 

At the same time, the 9 Orchard Luxury Boutique Hotel EB-5 project is the first "Targeted Investment Area" EB-5 project following the "latest, best, and final proposal" from the chairmen of the Senate and House Judiciary Committees, and it is currently the only "Targeted Investment Area" project in Manhattan! It offers the potential to shorten the visa backlog and obtain a Green Card quickly!

 

Project Overview

 

The 9 Orchard Luxury Boutique Hotel project is located at 9 Orchard Street in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, New York City. The project involves the renovation of the 105-year-old, 12-story Jarmulowsky Bank building, as well as the construction of a new 6-story building.

 

The old and new buildings will be integrated and operated as a luxury boutique hotel. The hotel will feature 116 luxury guest rooms, a 600-square-meter bar and lobby, and 930 square meters of meeting and event space.
