In recent years, Miami has become one of the most attractive destinations for foreign investors looking to secure U.S. residency while capitalizing on the city’s booming real estate market. One of the key pathways for international investors to achieve this is through the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program. Our team at Brosda & Bentley is here to guide you through every step of the EB-5 process, offering expert advice on the most promising real estate opportunities.
What is the EB-5 Visa Program?
The EB-5 Visa Program, allows foreign investors and their families to apply for a green card (permanent residency) by making a significant financial investment in a U.S. business including the development of real state projects.
Why Miami is a Top Choice for EB-5 Investors
Miami’s dynamic real estate market, strategic location, and growing industries make it an ideal city for EB-5 investors. Here are some of the main reasons why:
- Booming Real Estate Market
- Miami’s luxury real estate sector has seen unprecedented growth, with numerous high-profile developments, such as luxury condominiums, hotels, and commercial properties. These projects are often prime candidates for EB-5 investment as they meet job creation requirements.
- International Appeal
- Known as the “Gateway to the Americas,” Miami attracts global investors due to its proximity to Latin America and its vibrant, multicultural environment. The city’s blend of business opportunities, beautiful beaches, and world-class events, makes Miami a global hub for real estate investment.
- Strong Demand for Development
- With the recent influx of businesses in tech, finance, and tourism, the city is continuing its real estate development. Many projects, from residential towers to commercial buildings, are designed to boost local infrastructure and create jobs, making them attractive options for EB-5 investors.
How the EB-5 Program Works for Real Estate Investment
To qualify for the EB-5 Visa through real estate, investors must:
- Invest a Minimum Amount
- Investors must make a minimum investment of $1.05 million in a U.S. business. However, if the investment is made in a Targeted Employment Area (TEA), which includes many parts of Miami, the required investment drops to $800,000. TEAs are areas with high unemployment or rural locations, but many urban real estate projects qualify under this category.
- Choose a Qualifying Project
- Many Miami developers actively seek EB-5 funding for their projects, meaning investors have numerous opportunities to find qualifying real estate developments. From ultra-luxury condominiums to commercial complexes, Brosda and Bentley advisors work with you to choose projects which double as investments.

The Benefits of Investing in Miami Real Estate Through EB-5
- Permanent U.S. Residency
- The most significant advantage of the EB-5 program is the ability to secure U.S. permanent residency for the investor, their spouse, and their unmarried children under the age of 21. This opens doors to you and your family to live, work, and study anywhere in the United States.
- Path to Citizenship
- After maintaining permanent residency for five years, EB-5 investors can apply for U.S. citizenship. This provides the full benefits of being a U.S. citizen
- Returns on Investment
- Brosda & Bentley works with projects that have strong appreciation potential ensuring that the clients’ money is put to work in their favor.
- Favorable Tax Environment
- Miami’s lack of state income tax is another major draw for foreign investors, helping them maximize their returns. (In comparison to other global cities with high taxes on property transactions).
