Hidden Hills Vistas Luxury Cabin Resort in Gatlinburg, TN EB-5 Loan
Hidden Hills Vistas Is a EB-5 Loan Investment Opportunity with Multiple Safety Features
Hidden Hills Vistas, a 95-unit luxury cabin development, already in active construction, in Gatlinburg, Tennessee is EB-5 project in a rural targeted employment area (TEA). Because the project is in a Rural TEA, the minimum investment amount is $800,000 instead of $1,050,000. This project offers investors many key features, including a job creation buffer of roughly 20% per investor and priority I-526E petition processing.
EB-5 funds will be used to develop a cabin resort community in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Hidden Hills Vistas is expected to win multiple awards and recognitions in the Smoky Mountain area development group as the community represents the largest and most aesthetically pleasing community in the area.
The project’s developer is Seven Hills Hospitality, LLC (SHH). SHH is part of a real estate development and investment company based in the United States. It is one of the premier hospitality owner/operators in the Southeast boasting over 1,500 hotel rooms under management and approved by all the major hospitality brands.
APG helps foreign investors immigrate to the United States through investments in U.S. businesses under the EB-5 program.
Immigration and Financial Safety Features for Investors
EB-5 Investment as a First Lien Lender
The EB-5 investment has two major advantages. First, it has the most secure repayment position as a First Lien Mortgage with the land as collateral and security upon repayment of bridge financing. Second, the initial term is only 3 years and, if extended by the Borrower, the preferred return to the investor increases from 1% to 3%.
Completion Guaranty
The Sponsor, having deep EB-5 experience and confidence in this project, has issued a Completion and Performance Guaranty. This Guaranty gives the investors the confidence that the project will be delivered as designed and on time. Further, through this Guaranty, the investors are assured that the Sponsor will abide by all terms and conditions in the offering documents.
Priority I-526E Processing
Because the Hidden Hills Vistas project is located in a rural TEA, USCIS will prioritize investors’ I-526E petitions. By investing in a rural project, investors qualify for priority processing of their I-526E petition. Based on our observations, recent adjudications by USCIS suggest that investors can anticipate their I-526E petition being processed between 6-9 months. Investors who invest in rural projects benefit from the visa set-aside, which reserves 20% of the EB-5 Program visas for their use (source: USCIS). This is particularly advantageous for investors from countries with high demand and backlogs.
I-526E Denial Refund Guaranty
SHH has provided an I-526E approval refund guaranty. This guaranty means that if an EB-5 investor’s I-526E petition is denied by USCIS, he or she will generally be able to receive a prompt return of his or her money.

Request Seven Hills Financial Statements
Financial statements provide an overview of a project’s financial health. These documents include information on revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities, and profitability.
Before investing in any project, an EB-5 investor should ask to review all key financial documents to assess the project’s viability. By reviewing a project’s financial statements, an investor is able to check for potential risks before making an investment decision.
At APG, we believe that transparency is vital to investors making informed decisions. If you are a foreign national looking for a low-risk EB-5 project, we are happy to share the financial statements for the Hidden Hills project with you.
