Link Apartments

The Link Apartments Kora investment represents a rare opportunity in the heart of Los Angeles' dynamic Koreatown district, offering EB-5 investors exceptional security with multiple guarantees. This $214.6M development by Grubb Properties—a renowned institutional developer with 60+ years of experience and a 2.50x equity multiple—generates an impressive 30 jobs per investor, triple the USCIS requirement, ensuring immigration security. Beyond its strategic location with proximity to tech giants, downtown, and entertainment hubs, the project features comprehensive investor protections including pledge and loan security, I-526E denial guaranty, and completion guaranty, all backed by the developer's substantial $65M equity investment. With USCIS I-956F approval already secured, additional collateral through a first mortgage on another valuable property, and the rare opportunity to invest in an $800,000 Urban TEA project in prime Los Angeles real estate ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup and 2028 Olympics, Link Apartments Kora delivers both immigration certainty and investment security in one of America's most resilient real estate markets.

Key Insight: While Rural TEAs offer faster base processing and lower investment amounts, concurrent filing has made Urban TEAs increasingly attractive for H1-B holders. The combination of work authorization (EAD) availability, stronger investment security, and better job markets often outweighs the benefits of faster rural processing.
