CanAm Hits Major Milestone with USD 2 Billion in EB-5 Repayments

One of the cornerstones of CanAm's success is to invest in what we consider to be best-in-class projects led by prominent developers. Two notable projects that have come full circle were spearheaded by the renowned development firm Tishman Speyer.

• CanAm provided USD 153 million in EB-5 capital for a 1.2 million-square-foot mixed-use complex named the Jacx in Long Island City, New York. The project is now 100% complete and fully stabilized with office space that was 98% leased as of May 2021.

• CanAm provided USD 75 million in EB-5 capital for the repositioning and redevelopment of an existing Macy's building into a Class-A office building. The Wheeler is located in downtown Brooklyn, New York. The anchor tenant, St. Joseph's School, will occupy the lower 5 floors of the building with build-out of their space currently underway.

"Although the COVID-19 pandemic created disruptions to many New York real estate projects, Tishman Speyer was able to draw on its deep experience and industry relationships to not only bring projects to fruition but also generate strong leasing activity and tenant commitments," added Rosenfeld. "These two projects are both excellent examples of the caliber of projects that we aim to bring to our EB-5 investor community."
