Among numerous immigration investment options, the Marriott AC Hotel Senior Loan Project on Manhattan's Sixth Avenue presents a compelling combination of security and stable return potential. Operated under American Lending Center (ALC), this distinctive investment opportunity benefits from its prime location in New York City's financial and cultural hub, coupled with the strong backing of an internationally recognized hotel brand.

Project Overview

The Marriott International hotel group, with properties across 130 countries, serves as the operator for this new development at 842 Avenue of the Americas in Midtown Manhattan. The 30-story hotel will feature 168 guest rooms along with modern amenities including a fitness center, restaurant, bar, and conference facilities.

Construction commenced on April 3, 2019 with an anticipated 2021 opening. Developer 842 Enterprises Inc. brings extensive real estate experience, having successfully operated the neighboring Cambria hotel. Concord Hospitality Enterprises, a reputable industry operator, will manage daily operations.

Investment Advantages

The project's senior loan structure provides enhanced security for investors. As New York City's first EB-5 senior loan project, it underwent rigorous credit risk assessment examining borrower credentials, operational history, and projected cash flows.

Manhattan's hotel market demonstrates particular strength, with average occupancy rates of 85% compared to national averages. The project's financing structure includes:

  • EB-5 loans totaling $10 million (8.71% of capital)
  • $40 million in commercial loans (34.84%)
  • $15 million mezzanine financing (13.07%)
  • $49.8 million developer equity (43.38%)

EB-5 investments represent only 43.55% of total project costs, with property collateral exceeding investment amounts by more than 2:1. The development is projected to generate 277 permanent jobs, sufficient to meet EB-5 investor requirements during construction alone.

Investment Details

The $114 million project accommodates 20 EB-5 investors at $500,000 each, with a six-year investment period. Independent construction firms monitor fund allocation to ensure proper use of capital.

For families pursuing U.S. residency through investment or investors seeking stable opportunities, the project combines the security of senior loan positioning with Manhattan's robust hospitality market fundamentals.
