"All investments carry risks. Some people spend a great deal of energy and wealth purchasing a house or investing in a project, only for it to end up as an unfinished 'zombie' project; only those who have experienced it truly understand. The same applies to EB-5 investment immigration! If the chosen project fails or goes bankrupt, the investment may be lost, and the Green Card will be in jeopardy. Therefore, choosing a reliable project is crucial." Consequently, applicants should keep their eyes open when selecting an EB-5 project and choose those with lower risks. Visiting the site in person is the most intuitive way to assess progress, as it allows one to grasp the latest news and directly judge the quality of the project.


Great news! Following Worldway's celebration of a large number of EB-5 immigration clients receiving I-526E and I-829 approvals, the "Florida Lakeside Jewish Community" EB-5 project—the only project currently on the market globally with an approved I-956F and no visa backlog, for which Worldway Group serves as the exclusive agent in Greater China—has recently reached new construction milestones.


Shortly after the start of 2024, Dr. Winner Xing, Chairman of Worldway Group, along with Ms. Li Ma, Vice President of Worldway Group, and their delegation traveled to the United States for an inspection. During this trip, they visited Florida once again to conduct an on-site inspection of the "Florida Lakeside Jewish Community" EB-5 project. Since the project began global promotion and opened for subscription to Chinese investors, sparking a rush for U.S. EB-5 investment immigration, it has garnered significant attention from the industry and investors alike. Adhering to the philosophy of "Integrity-based, Customer-first," and committed to carefully selecting projects and providing professional service, Worldway's senior management places great importance on project progress. They visited the site for the second time in a short period to understand the actual construction status in real-time, bringing first-hand information to Worldway clients, ensuring they are informed in a timely, accurate, and comprehensive manner, and providing them with peace of mind.

Currently, construction is proceeding in an orderly manner, with everything moving steadily according to plan. Professional construction vehicles are moving back and forth, and workers are racing against time to maintain progress. The earthworks company is conducting large-scale excavation, with twenty to thirty dump trucks working on-site daily, and a significant amount of earthwork has already been completed. Looking at the plot map, there are many marked sections on-site, each indicating where a house will be built.


The Chief Architect of the site stated that construction has been underway for 9 months, and the natural ground level has been raised by 4 feet (approximately 1.22 meters), making it look completely different from before. Another advantage of this project is the ability to reuse internal resources; for example, materials can be extracted from the lake to fill the roads where vehicles are traveling, which will save millions of dollars in costs and accelerate construction progress. Currently, nearly 1 million yards of material are in place, the site infrastructure is ready, and vertical construction of the houses is about to begin. It can be said that the project has achieved phased progress. Worldway Group will continue to monitor the construction progress and share updates with everyone as soon as possible.

The "Florida Lakeside Jewish Community" project is located in Florida, USA. The project plan consists of residential areas, commercial facilities, a private school, and exclusive facilities for the Jewish community (places of worship and a church). Once completed, it will feature 1,000 single-family homes for sale, 300 apartments for rent, 780,000 square feet of leasable commercial space, and various lifestyle amenities. The project broke ground in Q1 2023 and is expected to be completed in Q2 2027, with a construction period of 4.5 years.


The project is in a prime location, surrounded by mature commercial areas, including supermarkets, pharmacies, post offices, and gas stations. Currently, market demand for the project is strong, with over 2,000 residential applications and over 300 residential buyer deposits received. The planned school has already received over 150 enrollment applications. Furthermore, the developer has purchased two plots of land next to the project site and plans to purchase a total of 5,000 acres of land there in the future, which clearly shows the developer's optimism about the development prospects of the project's location.
