<p>Focus: TEA Window of Opportunity<br>
<p>
New TEA definitions in the new EB5 regulation have created a remarkable
window of opportunity for document-ready projects in rural areas and high
unemployment urban areas at the $900k EB5 investment level, see below:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
With change of the TEA definition, almost half of the projects from the
pre-11/21 EB5 market no longer qualify as TEA projects. However, these
large urban projects that are no longer in the market accounted for
much more than half of investments in the old EB5 market. So large
projects with massive EB5 raises are out of the market now creating a
large vacuum. This is true in all 5 major world markets left in EB5 and
also in minor EB5 markets across the world.
</li>
<li>
We have heard that one giant New York City developer is planning to
come to the market with a small Utah based TEA project. Large
developers are not exiting the market–they want to keep their toe in
the market because they are hoping for an eventual legislative fix in
2021 and while they wait, they want to keep EB5 activity ongoing so as
to hang onto their distribution infrastructure. However, the new TEA
projects these large developers are bringing to the market are much
smaller and are easier to compete against than 50+ story skyscrapers in
New York, Miami and Los Angeles, and it may be summer before these new
TEA projects from the big developers enter the market.
</li>
<li>
That is why if you have documents ready now for a project that
qualifies as TEA as per the new EB5 regulation, this winter and this
spring constitute a window of opportunity for you. The 5 major EB5
markets are thirsting for projects. You can supply that demand now
before large players with new supply bring their issues to market.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
If you are in this happy position of having a document-ready TEA project
now, ILW can send you a proposal for 4 of the 5 major EB5 markets.
