Discover the Project Vision Board—an at-a-glance look at how Villa Roma is planned to be revitalized through elevated guest rooms, reimagined conference and meeting spaces, and enhanced recreational amenities across the resort’s 434-acre campus in the Catskills. Villa Roma is an EB-5 Rural TEA project under the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program; any potential eligibility for EB-5 visa classification and U.S. lawful permanent residence (a “green card”) is subject to investor eligibility, satisfaction of all applicable program requirements, and USCIS adjudication.
A comprehensive redevelopment of the 434-acre Villa Roma Resort into a modern, all-season Upstate New York destination in Callicoon, Sullivan County, New York (Catskills Region)—designed to support EB-5 job creation and investors evaluating a U.S. residency by investment (EB-5) strategy, subject to applicable requirements and approvals
The Villa Roma Project is a Rural TEA EB-5 opportunity under the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program, structured at the $800,000 minimum investment amount per investor (under current EB-5 regulations). The Project is designed to support EB-5 job creation, including a projected investor job cushion based on the independent economist’s economic impact analysis. The offering targets a hold period and potential exit sources that may include operating cash flow, refinancing, and/or sale, as further described in the offering documents and subject to market conditions and applicable requirements.
Villa Roma is located in a Rural Targeted Employment Area (TEA), which is being used to structure the offering at the $800,000 EB-5 minimum investment amount (compared with $1,050,000 for non-TEA projects under current EB-5 regulations). Certain Rural TEA petitions may also be eligible for priority processing where available and as determined by USCIS, subject to applicable requirements and procedures.
Rural TEA visas are currently treated as a reserved visa category under EB-5 rules. In addition, Rural TEA petitions may be eligible for priority processing where available and as determined by USCIS. As a result, Rural TEA EB-5 projects may offer the potential for faster overall processing dynamics than some non-TEA EB-5 projects, depending on visa availability and demand, USCIS policy and workload, and an investor’s individual circumstances.
For the most current information, investors should review USCIS’ posted processing time information (where applicable) and the U.S. Department of State Visa Bulletin, and consult qualified immigration counsel.
Each $800,000 EB-5 investment must be credited with at least 10 qualifying U.S. jobs. Based on the Project’s scope and budget, the independent economist estimates total job creation of approximately 777 jobs—approximately 12.14 jobs per investor (based on 64 investors)—providing an estimated cushion of 21.4% above the EB-5 program requirement (as further described on the Job Creation page and in the economic impact analysis).
