Flats Slide at IIUSA conference |
The EB-5 industry trade group, the Association to Invest in
USA (IIUSA), held its 3rd Annual International EB-5 Forum this past
June. The conference was held over three days and offered attendees the chance
to participate in workshops, take part in lectures, and to develop business
relationships with other members of the EB-5 community.
CiF’s executive staff attended the event, both to take
advantage of the industry analysis offered and because CiF CEO Mr. Stephen
Strnisha was invited to give a presentation on the use of alternative
financing, with the Flats East Bank project as a case study. With construction
largely completed and tenants moving in, the catalytic Flats East Bank project
has become a notable success story in the EB-5 industry. Conference attendees
were eager to learn from CiF’s experience how they too could leverage EB-5
investment funds, along with other alternative sources of financing, to make
quality large-scale development projects a reality.
