Principal Repayments Continue Across Pre-RIA and Post-RIA Projects
As of September 2026, all eligible investors in ARCFE-sponsored EB-5 projects whose investments had reached maturity and met the applicable repayment conditions had received their principal in full. All remaining investments were still within their contractual terms.
As of that date, no investor principal loss had been recorded across ARCFE-sponsored EB-5 projects, and cumulative principal repayments to eligible investors had reached $118.8 million.
Since August 2026, iCross × ARCFE has completed multiple principal repayments for post-RIA EB-5 investors.
Looking ahead, iCross × ARCFE will continue to apply the underwriting and risk-management standards of an experienced real estate lending institution throughout project selection, investment structuring, capital administration, ongoing monitoring, and repayment.
From the launch of an offering through the repayment of eligible investor principal, a long-term record of consistent execution is fundamental to earning investor trust.
Founded by iCross Capital, a New York City real estate financing institution with nearly 20 years of lending experience, ARCFE applies institutional underwriting and real estate lending discipline to project evaluation, structuring, monitoring, and repayment execution.
