One of the largest global issues in the next fifty years is expected to be the availability of food and water.  These necessities depend on inherently scarce resources: arable land and large sources of fresh water.  Along with energy, these goods are crucial to every person and every country in the world; and this in turn suggests the possibility of serious conflict over these resources in the future. Hydroponics is a method of growing plants using mineral nutrients in water, without soil and is the cleanest, most cost effective, environmentally-friendly, fastest and safest way to grow fruits and vegetables.  The project will use climate controlled, hydroponic greenhouse technology to locally grow a variety of premium quality produce which meets the significant and increasing demand for safe pesticide free, sustainably grown produce of superior taste, nutrition and appearance. A very high demand already exists in the market for this type of produce and the market currently pays a premium price margin for such products. The company has a number of buying relationships with national distributors and stores to buy the produce such that the operation will quickly become a major producer in the region.

The Mountain Lakes Hospital Project (“MLH”) is an exciting opportunity to participate in the EB-5 Program with a safe mode of investment.  The Hospital, Mountain Lakes Hospital, is located in Clayton, Georgia.  Clayton is a beautiful and upscale rural community 1 ½ hours northeast of Atlanta. The project entails moving the hospital into a new facility in a better location and selling the existing site.  The investment in the Hospital offers a distinct advantage in the EB-5 investment arena.  The Hospital is already in operation and is an integral part of the Rabun County community.  New land is being purchased and the EB-5 investors are taking advantage of the historically low cost of the real estate combined with a reduction in price being offered to entice the hospital’s relocation into a brand new facility.  Clayton is a prime destination for residents of Atlanta both as a second home and for primary living, especially for retirees due to the area’s beautiful environment and easy climate year round. 

The project entails the acquisition, ownership and management of the historic Neel Reid building and Starbucks Coffee Store in Midtown, Atlanta, Georgia, USA together with the development of the building to boutique office space. The renovated office suites will serve as an incubator for start-ups or existing service firms that thrive on the interaction of peer-related companies. The companies will be direct reflection of the professional creative class that currently makes up the surrounding neighborhood.

The project entails the acquisition, ownership, conversion, reorganization and management of Towne Club Peachtree City Assisted and Senior Living apartments project ("TCPC). The property opened in 2009 and won an award as Best Senior Living facility in the USA in 2009 but was slower leasing up than expected and subsequently went into bank foreclosure. TCPC was built at a cost in excess of $30,000,000 and the 2 year old facility will be acquired for $11,250,000. EB-5 investment will provide the capital to buy the property, resituate the business, put aside sufficient reserves to enable the business to move forward as it leases up and operate the beautiful property.
