Atlantic Yards is a transformational project located on one of the largest remaining assemblages of property in the worlds hottest real estate market. The US Immigration Fund believes the level of expertise behind this project should give a great deal of condence to EB-5 investors when evaluating their investment opportunity.

JOB CREATION
As with all projects offered by the US Immigration Fund, the job creation methodology utilized is simple and clear. Atlantic Yards is being developed in partnership with one of the largest real estate moguls in America, a China state-owned enterprise as major shareholder, New York City & State Government, as well as major international nancial institutions willing to invest a signicant amount of money into the project. USIF believes this development experience coupled with Forest City Ratner Companies understanding and experience with the EB-5 Program translates to the highest level of security that the project will be built and will result in an abundance of jobs created.

RIMS II Econometric Study completed by Dr. Michael Evans utilizes the number of jobs created by construction spending only; The most conservative methodology accepted by USCIS. An EB-5 petition has never been denied due to eligible construction spending; The construction cost data from the RIMS II Econometric Study is consistent with the developers budget and the legal documents; According to USCIS EB-5 Program requirements each investor is required to create 10 jobs, thus 4,980 jobs must be created in order for all investors to receive their permanent green cards. Atlantic Yards is estimated to create a total of 9,739 jobs, which exceeds USCIS requirements by approximately 95.6% equating to more than 19.6 jobs per investor.

The economic development opportunities here are undeniable.

- Former New York State Governor David Paterson

What began for me as a dream of bringing a major league sports team back to Brooklyn for the rst time since our beloved Brooklyn [Dodgers] skipped town when I was just a boy, has culminated with this groundbreaking on something even I couldnt have envisioned an Atlantic Yards complex that will bring the innovative Barclays Center, affordable housing, union jobs, and permanent employment opportunities to our nations fourth largest city.
Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz

Brooklyn has nally come out of its shell and there is no doubt that Atlantic Yards and Barclays Center have served as the catalyst for this renaissance. The perfect complement to our new world class arena will be the housing and jobs that will help the average New Yorker.
- New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg

The opportunities afforded through this state-ofthe-art arena and the Atlantic Yards Development mean new jobs, affordable housing, and ongoing economic growth. This is a boom for Brooklyn and for all New York and we welcome the progress to come.
- Former New York State Governor David Paterson

Atlantic Yards is about more than Brooklyn and New York. As important as this development is for the city, it is about how we build sustainable, well-designed housing to meet the needs of diverse groups of people.
