Regional Center
An EB-5 Regional Center is a USCIS-designated entity that sponsors capital investment projects for EB-5 investors. Regional centers allow investors to count indirect and induced jobs (through economic modeling) toward the 10-job requirement, unlike direct investment which only counts direct W-2 employees. There are approximately 600+ approved regional centers in the US. Typical regional center projects include real estate developments, hotels, and infrastructure projects ranging from $50 million to $500 million+. Investors typically contribute $800,000-$1,050,000 per project.
