Up to $14,400,000

$800,000 Individual Investment


EB-5 Investor I-526 Petition Submission Deadline: 9/30/2026

The grandfathering deadline for EB-5 investors to submit their I-526 petition is quickly approaching – September 30, 2026.

The Critical EB-5 Project Investment Decision

The most compelling EB-5 investments that provide the highest chance of success are those where immigration success, capital preservation, and investment performance are not competing priorities—but the natural result of a well-capitalized, institutionally structured, and successfully executed development that leverages strong market dynamics.

The challenge is finding those EB-5 investments.

Investor Highlights

The Bishop @ The Heritage (the “Project”) is phase I of a 4 phase transit-oriented master planned mixed-use development positioned within one of New Jersey's most significant urban revitalization initiatives.

Bishop @ the Heritage’s attributes create a compelling opportunity designed to align with the three most important outcomes to EB-5 investors:

  1. I. Immigration success – securing a Green Card,
  2. II. Capital protection & repayment of EB-5 investment capital
  3. III. Return on invested capital

Located in the New York metropolitan region and supported by strong housing demand, the Project benefits from USCIS I-956F approval & TEA qualification, job creation substantially above EB-5 requirements, being fully entitled and in active construction status, and the fact that the entire $74.4 million project cost is already committed via significant sponsor and senior lender capital already invested.

In addition, the lump sum construction contract, sponsor completion guarantee, signed designated developer agreement with the city, and control/ownership of the underlying land for all 4 phases provide additional construction-completion protection.

Capital Stack

The Bishop @ The Heritage is fully capitalized with $74.4 million of committed capital. EB-5 funds, pre-funded by the Sponsor’s bridge equity contribution, will be used to repay the Sponsor’s $14.4 million bridge contribution – positioning EB-5 investors with a senior position in the capital stack behind the construction loan (assuming the Sponsor receives full repayment of their bridge equity).

Risk Factors & Disclosures

An investment in this offering involves significant risks. The following summary identifies key risk categories investors should carefully consider prior to investing. This is not an exhaustive list; please refer to the full Private Placement Memorandum for complete risk disclosures. This investment should only be considered by those able to afford losing some or al their investment.

Project-Specific Risks

Construction Completion Risk - Delays, cost overruns, or contractor failures may impact the projected July 2027 completion timeline and increase total development costs beyond the $74.4M budget.

Lease-Up & Stabilization Risk - The project may not achieve projected occupancy levels or rental rates during stabilization, affecting cash flow and the projected November 2029 exit valuation of $107.3M.

Disposition Risk - Market conditions at the time of sale may be unfavorable, reducing proceeds available for EB-5 capital repayment and diminishing the projected 2.28x coverage ratio.

Sponsor Execution Risk - The project is dependent on the Ramani Group’s continued financial capacity and management experience. Adverse changes to the sponsor’s business could negatively affect project outcomes.

Senior Lender Risk - As preferred equity, EB-5 capital is subordinate to senior debt. In a liquidation or default scenario, senior lenders would be repaid before EB-5 investors regardless of coverage projections.

EB-5 Program Risks

I-526 Petition Denial Risk - USCIS may deny an investor’s I-526E petition based on documentation deficiencies, source-of-funds issues, or policy changes. Denial does not guarantee return of invested capital.

I-526 Grandfathering Deadline - Investors must file their I-526E petition by September 30, 2026 to qualify for grandfathering under prior EB-5 regulations. Failure to meet this deadline could impact visa priority dates and immigration timelines.

Job Creation Risk - While the project is projected to generate jobs substantially above EB-5 minimum requirements, failure to create or sustain sufficient qualifying jobs could jeopardize investors’ I-829 petition approvals and permanent residency.

Regulatory & Policy Change Risk - Changes to EB-5 legislation, USCIS processing priorities, TEA designations, or Regional Center program rules could adversely affect investor eligibility, timelines, or the project’s EB-5 qualification status.

Visa Backlog & Processing Delays - High demand for EB-5 visas in certain investor countries may result in significant waiting periods for visa availability, extending the time to receive conditional or permanent residency beyond projections.

Macro Risks

Interest Rate & Capital Markets Risk - Rising interest rates may increase borrowing costs, compress cap rates, and reduce the pool of qualified buyers at exit, potentially lowering the project’s achievable sale price below current projections.

Real Estate Market Conditions - Deterioration in multifamily fundamentals in the New York/New Jersey metro market, including increased supply, falling rents, or weakening demand, could reduce NOI and impair project valuations.

Economic Recession Risk - A broad economic downturn could reduce employment, household formation, and consumer spending in Plainfield and the broader metropolitan region, adversely impacting occupancy and rental income.

Regulatory & Zoning Risk - Changes in local zoning ordinances, rent control legislation, building codes, or environmental regulations in New Jersey could increase costs or restrict project operations and exit options.

Geopolitical & Currency Risk - International investors face currency exchange risk when converting proceeds back to their home currency. Geopolitical instability may also affect the ability to transfer funds or the viability of U.S. immigration goals.

Our firms seek to present vital capital with meaningful investment opportunities through the fundamental analysis of the businesses we seek to finance. Such analysis is usually conducted through a First Principles approach.

When we provide you with a recommendation, we have to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours. At the same time, the way we make money creates some conflicts with your interests. You should understand and ask us about these conflicts because they can affect the recommendations we provide you. For example:

  • Proprietary Products: Our firms will often present investments that are only available through them, which may result in a higher placement fee. The Firms will receive the placement fee regardless of your investment performing as expected.

Our firms offer brokerage services to accredited investors, exclusively through the sale of private placements. the offerings we bring to market are carefully selected, and any recommendation you may receive from us will be limited to these offerings. Therefore, we may be unable to adequately compare the risks and benefits of the offerings we bring to offerings presented by other financial professionals. While our firms will often present new investments and discuss such investment’s risks and benefits with you, the ultimate authority to make such investment rests solely with you.

Our firms do not hold any investor cash or securities, and securities offered by us often have no easily assessable market value, so our firms will not monitor the market value of your investment on an ongoing basis. The investments we present often require a minimum investment of $5,000 for equity offerings and $10,000 for debt offerings.

Fees and costs may reduce any amount of money you make on your investments over time. Our firms are mostly compensated through placement fees, which are payable by the issuer, meaning that the firms will be compensated by receiving a percentage of the funds raised in an offering, regardless of the investment performing as expected. Such placement fee is usually between 3% and 7%. Given that different investments have different placement fees, we may often have a conflict of interest when presenting these investments to you. The Firms’ bankers are often compensated by receiving a percentage of the placement fee and may have their own conflict of interest when presenting you with offerings they structure.

Private placements are high risk and illiquid investments. As with other investments, you can lose some or all of your investment. Nothing in this document should be interpreted to state or imply that past results indicate future performance, nor should it be interpreted that FINRA, the SEC or any other securities regulator approves of any of these securities. Additionally, there are no warranties expressed or implied as to accuracy, completeness, or results obtained from any information provided in this document. Investing in private securities transactions bears risk, in part due to the following factors: there is no secondary market for the securities; there is credit risk; where there is collateral as security for the investment, its value may be imped if it is sold. Please see the Private Placement Memorandum (PPM) for a more detailed explanation of the securities.

Relationship Summary (Form CRS)

Carolina Financial Securities, LLC and Carofin, LLC (“CFS” and “Carofin”, respectively) are affiliated broker-dealers registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and members of FINRA and SIPC. The fees and services broker-dealers offer differ across the industry and it is important for you to understand such differences.

Free and simple tools to research firms and financial professionals are available at Investor.gov/CRS, which also provides educational materials about broker-dealers, investment advisers, and investing.

You will find certain pertinent questions you may ask us when first establishing a relationship listed as “conversation starters” below. We invite you to visit our Knowledge Base for educational materials on private investments.

What investment services and advice can you provide me?

Our firms offer brokerage services to accredited investors, exclusively through the sale of private placements. A private placement is an offering of securities that is exempt from registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission and carries significant risks, which may result in the loss of some or all of your investment. Such risks include, but are not limited to, the inability to sell your investment for cash, the lack of publicly available information on the company issuing the security, and no guarantees of returns or periodic payments.

Our firms carefully select the offerings they bring to market, and any recommendation you may receive from us will be limited to these offerings. Therefore, we may be unable to adequately compare the risks and benefits of the offerings we bring to offerings presented by other financial professionals. While our firms will often present new investments and discuss such investment’s risks and benefits with you, the ultimate authority to make such investment rests solely with you.

Our firms do not hold any investor cash or securities, and securities offered by us often have no easily assessable market value, so our firms will not monitor the market value of your investment on an ongoing basis. An affiliate of CFS and Carofin, CFG Financial Services, does, however, act as administrative agent for many offerings we bring to market. In this role, CFG Financial Services will monitor an issuer’s compliance with its obligations, make distributions of periodic payments, and, when necessary, intervene in the event that things are not going to plan. When this happens, CFG Financial Services is often compensated by part of the proceeds recovered in settlement or bankruptcy proceedings, which may reduce the return on your investment.

The investments we present often require a minimum investment of $5,000 for equity offerings and $10,000 for debt offerings.

Conversation Starters:
  • Given my financial situation, should I choose a brokerage service? Why or why not?
  • How will you choose investments to recommend to me?
  • What is your relevant experience, including your licenses, education, and other qualifications? What do these qualifications mean?

What fees will I pay?

You will pay fees and costs whether you make or lose money on your investments. Fees and costs may reduce any amount of money you make on your investments over time. Please make sure you understand what fees and costs you are paying.

Our firms are mostly compensated through placement fees, which are payable by the issuer, meaning that the firms will be compensated by receiving a percentage of the funds raised in an offering, regardless of the investment performing as expected. Such placement fee is usually between 3% and 7%. Given that different investments have different placement fees, we may often have a conflict of interest when presenting these investments to you.

Given that our placement fees are payable by the issuer, the full amount of your investment will be used to purchase debt or equity securities, even though a certain amount of the proceeds may be immediately redirected by the issuer to CFS and Carofin as placement fees.

Conversation Starters:
  • Help me understand how these fees and costs might affect my investments. If I give you $10,000 to invest, how much will go to fees and costs, and how much will be invested for me?

What are your legal obligations to me when providing recommendations? How else does your firm make money and what conflicts of interest do you have?

When we provide you with a recommendation, we have to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours. At the same time, the way we make money creates some conflicts with your interests. You should understand and ask us about these conflicts because they can affect the recommendations we provide you. Here are some examples to help you understand what this means:

Proprietary Products: Our firms will often present investments that are only available though them, which may result in a higher placement fee.

Management Fees: Our firms will often present investments in which Carolina Financial Group, LLC an affiliate of CFS and Carofin, acts a manager of the company. CFG will often be compensated for such services.

Warrant Position: Our firms will often receive a warrant (an option to purchase an equity security in the future, for a defined price) for certain securities. Given that our firms, or other equity holders in the company, may have an investment time horizon that differs from yours, this may create a conflict of interest.

Equity Trust Company Relationship: Carofin and Equity Trust Company (“ETC”) have entered into an agreement by which Carofin exclusively promotes ETC’s services as IRA custodian, in exchange for the sharing of certain Carofin content by ETC. You can learn more about the services ETC offers, along with the fees associated with such services, at trustetc.com.

Conversation Starters:
  • How might your conflicts of interest affect me, and how will you address them?

How do your financial professionals make money?

Our firms have different compensation structures.

CFS financial professionals, which are often the individuals working with the company to structure an appropriate security, receive a percentage of the placement fee received by CFS in the investments they structure. Therefore, these professionals have an interest in presenting you with the investments they have structured.

Carofin financial professionals, on the other hand, are the individuals responsible for understanding and presenting these investments to you. While Carofin professionals are compensated through discretionary bonuses, they may have an interest in presenting you with investments which may result in a higher placement fee to the firm overall.

Do you or your financial professionals have legal or disciplinary history?

Yes. You have access to a free and simple tool to research our firms and financial professionals at Investor.gov/CRS.

Conversation Starters:
  • As a financial professional, do you have any disciplinary history? For what type of conduct?
