Choosing an EB-5 investment means studying not only trends in Regional Center openings, the type of Regional Center structures out there, but also the type of project that is being proposed. Is it a safe project? Will it create jobs?
Did you know that the United States has a rapidly growing population of people over 55 years of age? Between 2005 and 2030 it is expected that the American 55+ age group will grow by at least 56%, reaching over well over 100 million people.
Did you know that Vermont has one of the fastest growing senior populations in the United States? It is projected to more than double to over 214,000 by 2030.
Did you know that the Retirement Homes industry is an important part of the American economy, creating over $32 billion in revenues annually and employing over 600,000 individuals?
What does this mean for an EB-5 project that is focusing on the development of resort style continuing care communities in the Northeastern United States? It means economic growth and job potential! It means a safe EB-5 investment!
Today's American senior is looking for a new way to retire.
No more drab, boring, stale retirement homes that resemble (and smell) like hospitals. They have worked hard all their lives, they have higher retirement savings than previous generations, and they want the standard of living that they were accustomed to during their younger years.
What they want is a real community to retire to, one that offers a variety and flexibility of services tailored to their needs that they can choose from. They want both town/city amenities while being close to the great outdoors. They want to live sustainably with higher green living standards. They want to remain active, healthy, and engaged. Most importantly, they want to age in place - moving from independent to assisted living arrangements over the course of their retirements.
Dreamlife EB5 will be building four resort style continuing care communities in the State of Vermont. The first complex is projected to be built in the town of Newport, Vermont.
Why Newport? Just think about it...
Situated on the shores of beautiful Lake Memphremagog, the Newport region is a outdoor paradise. A four-seasons dream, northern Vermont boasts some of the best golfing, skiing, boating, sailing, mountain biking, road biking, hiking, camping, and outdoor living in the United States.
The future site of our complex overlooks Lake Memphremagog, and it steps from downtown Newport. The 70 acre property will offer hiking and biking trails and other attractive natural amenities.
The building complex will be built following LEED certification standards, and will strive to be one of the greenest in the industry. Geothermal energy, green roof, biomass, passive energy, and the use of low- or carbon-neutral construction materials all make DreamLife EB-5 projects one of the leading green plans today.
Our independent and assisted living accommodations will offer all the top amenities of the home, plus some of the most cutting edge technological services on the market today. Internet connectivity for smart communications and the possibility of lifelong learning.
On-site health, social and community services will build a sense of belonging among the residence to make them feel right at home.
Community retirement living at its best is what DreamLife EB5 will be selling.
Given demographic and housing market trends, this makes our program an attractive and sound investment for your EB-5 dollars and your road to permanent residence.

Regional Centers - One of them is not like the others!
EB-5 Regional Centers are designated geographic areas that are granted the right to receive investments from immigrant investors who want at Green Card for themselves and/or their family. USCIS manages the accreditation process for Regional Centers. A normally rigorous screening process by USCIS has been put in place to ensure that Regional Center projects fulfill the requirements of the EB-5 program: real economic growth, verifiable job creation, and a sound business and marketing model.
For the most part, Regional Centers are run by private entities, with oversight being done solely by USCIS. While generally speaking since 2003 this has been done relatively well, we have to pose two significant questions:
Starting in 1997, the State of Vermont assumed the responsibility for reviewing and approving EB-5 projects on its territory, adding a layer of oversight to the overall process. EB-5 project managers in Vermont must clearly understand their roles and requirements as dictated by BOTH the State of Vermont AND USCIS. Any failure to do so would mean that the State government could revoke its approval for said project (and probably lead to USCIS doing the same...).
Other aspects of State control comes from the verification role that the State of Vermont assumes in the EB-5 process - members of the State Government are responsible for verification, oversight and management from an economic, legal and political perspective.
Government officials pay regular visits to project sites, consult and assist in their development, and perform audits on a quarterly basis. Now that's oversight second to none!
It is also important to note that Senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont is one of the leading champions of the EB-5 program in Washington, and as such he adds political legitimacy to the program.
Vermont State control and participation mean that investors should feel more comfortable with their EB-5 investments there. They should look closely at EB-5 projects in other states run by private Regional Centers- can they ensure the same sort of protections while maintaining an at-risk investment?
When looking for a Regional Center in which to place your EB-5 investment, think about Vermont. Your US$500,000 at risk investment is, well, at risk. Why not take the steps to ensure that the risks are managed to your benefit?

- With the explosion of new Regional Centers across the country (over 150 to this date), does the USCIS have the resources to ensure transparency and accountability?
- Can USCIS, alone, provide management and oversight services to EB-5 clients as well as to Regional Centers to ensure real job creation and economic development?
