Florida Regional Center Sponsors IIUSA Fundraiser

September 19, 2011

The Florida Regional Center is proud to be a sponsor for the IIUSA Permanent EB-5 Fundraiser as an EB-5 Regional Center Program Champion. The Association to Invest In the USA (IIUSA) is a 501(c)(6) not-for-profit industry trade association of active EB-5 Regional Centers ("Regional Centers"), attorneys, and other EB-5 related service providers. This October 21, 2011 fundraiser will navigate through new challenges facing regional centers and building sound practice when working with the EB-5 Program and it’s participants.   The proceeds from this event will be put to use in formulating an effort to make the EB-5 Regional Center Program a permanent Visa option.

The program was designed by Congress in 1990 to encourage investment by foreign nationals in the United States.  In exchange for investments of either  $1,000,000 or $500,000 USD in jobs that create 10 or more American jobs, investors will receive the opportunity to obtain their U.S. Greencard.

Unless Congress votes to continue the EB-5 Program, it will expire September 9, 2012.  The program has created an abundance of jobs for the American economy over the past two decades and has resulted in the realization of the American Dream for thousands of foreign investors and their families.

The Florida Regional Center is committed to having the EB-5 program continue to grow at its current pace to help create American jobs. With the continuation of this essential program, the Florida Regional Center looks to further fund worthwhile South Florida businesses and projects to support the reviving of the American economy.  Support of this program is a significant portion of the rebuilding of the American and Global economy; let your government officials know where you stand on the matter of making the program a permanent fixture of the US immigration program.

ESI Jupiter Technology Park Update

October 7, 2011

Florida Regional Center's EB-5 project, ESI Jupiter Technology Park, received an approval by the Town of Jupiter to obtain a  loan guarantee.  This story was published by the Palm Beach Post Newspaper:
Jupiter approves loan to help New Zealand business open office here
JUPITER — Approval was given Tuesday night by the council for the town to guarantee a $300,000 loan to Endeavour Strategic Investments Florida LLC.
The loan guarantee comes from a $3 million fund approved by the town in 2006 to attract biotech businesses to north county. If New Zealand-based ESI does not pay its bank loan, Jupiter must repay the money.
ESI, which is required to open its office in Jupiter, is considering an office near Harbourside, a $150 million proposed retail/marina project at the northwest corner of U.S. 1 and Indiantown Road.
Harbourside developers are also using the federal EB-5 program to raise investment money. EB-5 lets foreign nationals and their families gain U.S. citizenship in about two years in exchange for a $500,000 investment. The vote was 4-1 with Vice Mayor Jim Kuretski dissenting.
The ESI Jupiter Technology Park will be home to a 50,000 sq foot facility that will house companies from around the world.  These companies will be in the fields of biotechnology and research, working in areas which include non-invasive diabetes detection, clinical diagnostic technology, water efficiency systems, anti-cancer compounds and advanced manufacturing and ICT systems.  To learn more about investing in this project or other Florida Regional Center EB-5 offerings, please visit our  EB-5 website.
