Shoora EB5’s current project is Airabella Lake Oconee. Airabella Lake Oconee is a proposed, 137-acre mixed-use residential property, to be located just a stone’s throw from beautiful Lake Oconee, will add layers of experiences to the area’s everyday offerings including chef-driven restaurants, a brewery, a boutique hotel, local retail, shared green space and a nine-hole public golf course. In this pedestrian-friendly community, residents and guests can park and leave their cars. Walkways and cartways, overlooks, pocket gardens, bridges, fire pits and benches emphasize walkability and self-propelled mobility in this walkable outdoor community.

Yes, Parents/Friends can gift $800,000 USD to their children for investment too.

• The EB-5 program requires a $1,050,000 for a standard (non-TEA investment) and $800,000 for a Targeted Employment Area investment (TEA).
• Targeted Employment Areas can either be high-unemployment areas or rural areas. To qualify as a high-unemployment TEA, an area must have an unemployment average of at least 150% of the U.S. national unemployment rate.
• To qualify as a rural TEA, an area must be outside a metropolitan statistical area (MSA) and cannot be within a city with a population of more than 20,000.
• The job-creating entity (JCE) is required to both do its main business in the TEA and also create jobs in that area.

• To qualify as an EB-5 accredited investor, a person must have either a personal or joint net worth of $1 million. However, this amount cannot reflect the worth of the person’s primary residence and must come from other sources of income.
• An accredited investor must also have an annual income of $200,000 individually, and $300,000 when in combination with their spouse, for the previous two years when applying for the EB-5 visa. It is also expected that the person will make the same amount during the year of the investment.
