LCR Capital Partners launches Rivana EB-5 infrastructure deal in Northern Virginia

LCR Capital Partners has launched Rivana at Innovation Station, a USCIS-approved EB-5 infrastructure project in Loudoun County, Virginia, with access to the program’s 2% infrastructure visa set-aside. The $304.9 million development is designed to create more than 14 jobs per investor and tap demand tied to defense, intelligence and data center growth near Washington.

Why it matters: - Rivana gives EB-5 investors a path into the program’s 2% infrastructure visa set-aside, which can matter for applicants facing backlogs in other categories. - The project is positioned near Washington, D.C., Dulles International Airport and Northern Virginia’s defense, intelligence and technology corridors. - LCR Capital Partners is pitching the deal as both a job-creation project and a long-term infrastructure investment.

What happened: - LCR Capital Partners launched Rivana at Innovation Station, a USCIS-approved EB-5 infrastructure project in Northern Virginia. - The project is in Loudoun County, about 25 miles from the White House. - The development is the first phase of a 103-acre master-planned mixed-use project. - The minimum EB-5 investment is $800,000. - Construction began in May 2025 and is expected to finish by February 2029.

The details: - The project includes critical public infrastructure such as roadways, water and sewer systems, public parks, drainage systems and parking facilities. - The broader build-out is expected to include up to 3,410 residential units, 1,650 hotel rooms, 288,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, and more than 3.6 million square feet of office space. - Total EB-5 project cost is $304.9 million. - Target EB-5 capitalization is $79.2 million. - The project is expected to create more than 14 jobs per investor, above the EB-5 requirement of 10 jobs per investor. - Rivana sits in Loudoun County, an area widely known as “Data Center Alley.” - The location gives access to Washington Dulles International Airport and the Silver Line Metrorail. - The development is expected to support national security-related demand, including the need for sensitive compartmented information facilities, or SCIFs.

Between the lines: - The infrastructure set-aside is especially relevant for investors from countries with visa backlogs, and availability in other set-aside categories has tightened. - Northern Virginia’s mix of defense, intelligence, cloud computing and government contracting gives the project a strategic sales pitch beyond the immigration benefit. - The location near transportation links and major federal-adjacent employers is central to the investment case. - Sherman Baldwin, LCR Capital Partners CEO, called the project a unique opportunity for EB-5 investors to participate in a transformative infrastructure-focused development. - Suresh Rajan, LCR Capital Partners founder and executive chairman, said the project is designed to help meet growing demand for modern SCIFs and offer global families meaningful economic impact and EB-5 benefits. - The development is led by DWC Holdings LLC and managed by Origami Capital Partners, which was founded in 2008 and manages about $1.2 billion in assets.

What's next: - LCR Capital Partners will market Rivana to EB-5 investors seeking infrastructure-category visa access. - The project’s next milestones are construction progress through 2029 and eventual occupancy across its residential, hotel, retail and office components. - LCR Capital Partners says it will continue offering a portfolio of EB-5 projects for immigrant investors worldwide.

The bottom line: - Rivana blends immigration eligibility, infrastructure spending and a Northern Virginia location tied to defense and tech demand, giving LCR Capital Partners a new EB-5 offering with both policy and market tailwinds.
