LCR Capital Partners

What LCR Capital Partners does

LCR Capital Partners is a private EB-5 regional center and fund manager headquartered in Westport, Connecticut, founded in 2012. The firm acts as an intermediary between foreign investors seeking U.S. permanent residency and real estate developers requiring EB-5-eligible capital, having served over 1,200 clients from more than 50 countries. Its primary value proposition is providing a pathway to U.S. permanent residency through USCIS-approved EB-5 investments, with a current commercial focus on high-net-worth Indian families facing 11-12+ year employment-based green card backlogs under traditional H-1B/EB-2/EB-3 pathways.

The company's product offering consists of discrete EB-5 investment projects across hospitality (Four Seasons Surf Club, Thompson Palm Springs, Airabella Lake Oconee with Marriott Tribute Portfolio), commercial office (The Tower at Convergence), and wellness facilities (All Points North Lodge). Each project is structured as a USCIS-approved fund with investment minimums of $800,000 in a targeted employment area or $1,050,000 in a standard new commercial enterprise. LCR's full-lifecycle value chain covers capital sourcing from foreign investors, USCIS petition management (I-526/I-526E and I-956F filings), project oversight during the conditional permanent residency period, and capital repayment at project completion. Demonstrated execution includes 100% green card approval on the Surf Club project and approximately $84 million of $99 million in capital returned to date.

Revenue is generated through two streams: transaction fees on EB-5 capital raised for qualifying projects, and ongoing fund management fees over the multi-year investment lifecycle. The firm operates a relationship-based go-to-market model via direct engagement with high-net-worth families and advisor referral networks, supported by a New Delhi office. LCR has no proprietary technology platform, employs 11-50 staff, and does not publicly disclose financial metrics.
