EB-5 Investment Opportunity
THE U.S. IMMIGRANT INVESTOR PROGRAMSince its introduction in 1990 by the U.S. Immigration Act, the EB-5 program provides a special category of immigration visa
for the high-net-worth international investor.
After the successful completion of the program, investors and their family members (spouse and unmarried children under the age of 21) are given a conditional resident
status in the United States, which can be converted into a permanent residency with a path to citizenship.

Ivory 214 will be located in Aventura, Florida. This property
is just two blocks from the Aventura Hospital, which has been
designated a “Trauma II” facility – one of the only two facilities
with that designation in Miami. The surrounding area is classified
as the “Medical Office District” and only allows construction
of medical service facilities and related services. This area is the
epicenter for medical facilities, including the hospital as well as
300 surrounding medical practices. Along with medical facilities,
a major new development, “Aventura Gateway” is in the planning
stages and will be built next door to Ivory 214. This space will
offer 300,000 square feet of retail and three residential buildings.
To help alleviate road congestion and provide easier access to
the area, the City of Aventura recently approved a Master Road
Plan for the Medical District. This plan calls for the construction
of 214th Street, which will connect US-1/Dixie Highway with
Biscayne Boulevard. Furthermore, the new passenger train will
stop just three blocks from Ivory 214, making it simple to reach
Ivory 214 without a vehicle.
