Immigration is a major decision, and selecting the right timing and pathway is the key to success. The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program offers a unique route for individuals seeking a U.S. Green Card. However, a critical factor in achieving success and obtaining residency is selecting the appropriate project. We all know that EB-5 investment is inherently an investment, and all investments carry risks. The EB-5 regulations also explicitly state that EB-5 investments must be "at risk." Therefore, applicants must consider many factors when selecting an EB-5 project, among which gaining an understanding of the project developer is an essential step.
Precisely for this reason, as a partner on your immigration journey, senior management from Worldway Group made a point to communicate with the project developer's leadership during our recent site visit to the "University City Hilton" EB-5 project, further understanding the developer's background, reputation, and credibility.
When asked why the developer's family chose the hotel industry:
Project Developer representative Mr. Deven Patel stated:
"In terms of the hospitality industry, I was born and raised in it. My parents came to the United States in the 60s and started working in the hotel business in the 70s.
So, ever since I was born and grew up, I have been working in the hotel industry and learning about management. As the second generation (of hoteliers), my two siblings and I have continued to grow within this industry. We have done many things in hotel management.
As the second generation, we have been approved to become franchisees and managers for Hilton and Marriott. Therefore, we manage all our properties. Over the years, we have developed more than 20 hotels. Currently, we are operating and owning five hotels, with three more in development."
Worldway Group senior management asked: It is remarkable that Mr. Deven Patel's family has been in the hotel business for over half a century. When your father chose to enter the hotel industry in the 1970s, what were his considerations?
Project Developer representative Mr. Deven Patel stated:
When my father started in the hotel industry, this business was very attractive to him. In the U.S., as an engineer, he might have just been a typical nine-to-five worker. But when he decided to enter the hospitality industry, it offered him the opportunity to become an entrepreneur, to own his own business, to own the hotel real estate, and to manage these hotel businesses. (This hotel management business) provided a livelihood for the entire family, allowing him to support them.
Over the years, he helped his siblings as well as other family members and friends immigrate from India to the U.S. and enter the hotel industry. Currently, more than 60% of two-star to three-star hotels in the United States are owned by Indian hoteliers.
As the business has continued to grow, all our business models have changed. We constantly develop better hotels, larger hotels, and continue to improve in all aspects.
It must be said that the "University City Hilton" EB-5 project has a capable and experienced developer, which provides peace of mind for investors.
As everyone knows, the "University City Hilton" EB-5 project was warmly received by EB-5 investors as soon as it was launched. This is a rural project that is visa-backlog exempt and has priority processing. At the same time, this project is the only one on the market that uses both real estate as a first-priority guarantee and has personal guarantees from the developer's shareholders. Usually, such strict loan conditions are only put forward by banks. Why, then, is the developer willing to accept such stringent EB-5 loan conditions and provide a personal asset guarantee for the EB-5 funds?
Project Developer representative Mr. Deven Patel stated:
For this project (University City Hilton), we felt very confident based solely on the hotel's location and the franchised product (the Hilton brand), believing that it would perform exceptionally well.
When we introduced this project to Peachtree Group, it was the fourth project we collaborated on with them; from a lending perspective, these projects have all been very successful.
We are able to repay the loans on time. Regarding this project, we feel that in terms of both market demand and supply, it will be a very successful project. In five years, we will refinance the project and move the loan to a regional bank in the U.S. or to the capital markets.
