The Group 98 Project
A Logistics Facility located within a Qualified Targeted Employment Area (TEA)
The Project
Commerce 71 will involve the development and construction of two Class-A industrial logistics facilities, a wastewater treatment facility, and associated infrastructure improvements required to complete the

Hillwood Commerce 71
Upon completion, Hillwood will work to complete the lease up of facilities to long-term tenants as well as the eventual sale of the facilities to a long-term holder. Hillwood has employed Colliers to assist in the leasing efforts. Upon securing tenants, Hillwood will also be required to complete various tenant-specific interior buildout not included in the current budget to complete the facilities.
EB-5 funds will be utilized in all aspects of the development and construction activities of the project. This may include, but is not limited to any additional site demolition and abatement, onsite and offsite development, grading, landscaping, drainage systems, both horizontal and vertical infrastructure necessary to complete the facilities as well as the water treatment plant, and certain interior buildout of the project.
