Regional Center

What Is A Regional Center?
Regional centers are defined as “any economic unit, public or private, which is involved with the promotion of economic growth, including increased export sales, improved regional productivity, job creation, and increased domestic capital investment.” More simply, the term “regional center” refers to an entity where investment from multiple foreign nationals can be pooled to fund a broad range of projects within a specific geographic area.
Types of Regional Centers
Regional centers can be

a) Privately Owned,
b) Publicly Owned, or
c) Public-Private Partnership
Different Models for Regional Centers

a) Lending Model: - It is where the new commercial enterprise is a lending entity that provides loans to those (e.g., U.S. citizens) seeking funding for business activities, such as new construction or expansions of their operations.
b) Equity Model:- It is where pooled EB-5 investments are used to purchase equity stakes in a project company (i.e., job-creating entity)
c) Direct Investment: - It is where regional centers have been created for direct investment to build a variety of projects, such as hotels, a ski resort, convention centers, arenas, and retail and mixed use developments.

EB-5 Regional Center investors do not have to live near their investment. They can live and work in any state and not be tied down to managing their EB-5 investment. This is great if investors want to live in a certain region for the school districts or the city-life.
* The regular EB-5 Program only allows direct jobs to be counted, whereas, the EB-5 Regional Center Program benefits from being able to count direct, indirect and induced job creation towards their investor’s investment requirements.
​* EB-5 Regional Center projects often take utilize and invest in targeted employment areas (TEAs). These are areas that are either rural or have a high unemployment rate and the benefit of investing in TEAs is the lower minimum investment amount threshold.
