Project Overview

Avid & Candlewood Suites Hotel

This project is a 90-key, four-story, 45,595-square-foot dual-brand IHG hotel comprising 45 Avid Hotels rooms and 45 Candlewood Suites rooms, located at 1740 Pecan Lane in Kernersville, North Carolina, near I-40 Exit 201.

USCIS has approved Form I-956F for this project's commercial enterprise.

Job Creation

  • Required qualifying jobs per investor: 10

  • ~18 projected qualifying jobs per investor

Projected job creation provides a cushion above the regulatory minimum of 10 qualifying jobs per investor; projected figures are estimates and are not guaranteed.

Material Risks

  • This is a High-Unemployment TEA project, not a rural TEA project — it does not draw from the rural visa set-aside category.
  • Construction, cost-overrun, financing, and job-creation risks apply, as described in the offering documents.
  • Form I-956F approval is not an endorsement of the investment and does not guarantee any investor's I-526E approval.

This is not an exhaustive risk disclosure. Read Understanding EB-5 Risks and the project's offering documents before making any investment decision.
