This Beyond Paradise 1 construction update covers verified, on-the-ground progress as of the June 2, 2026 project report at our rural TEA community in Keauhou on Hawaii's Big Island. For an EB-5 investor, a construction update is not a marketing formality — it is the clearest evidence that a project is doing the one thing your immigration case depends on: building, and therefore creating jobs. Under the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022, each investor's petition requires the creation of at least 10 full-time jobs, and active construction is the engine that produces them. The milestones below — completed mass grading, finished building pads across all three phases, and vertical framing now underway on the first residential building — reflect a project that has moved decisively from site preparation into vertical construction.
1. Site and Land Development — Phase 1
Land development for Phase 1 is now largely complete, establishing the foundation the residential buildings sit on. Site work is the unglamorous but essential precondition for everything that follows, and on this front Beyond Paradise 1 is well advanced.
- Mass grading complete. Grading is effectively finished across building Phases 1, 2, and 3, and all building pads for Phases 1, 2, and 3 are complete — the ground is prepared and the project can build vertically across the full community.
- Wet utilities advancing. Sewer and water work is progressing through Phase 2, with trench bottoms being finished and material for all three phases secured.
- Storm drainage in progress. Drainage sumps have been delivered and installed, with the remaining sumps continuing on schedule.
- Retaining walls. Rock walls 1 through 4 are complete, and wall 7 is nearing completion, expected to finish by month-end.
- Streets and dry utilities. Rough grade has been established at the street section to receive utility installation, and long lead-time electrical and communications equipment has been ordered to keep the schedule moving.
2. Residential Construction — Building A Now Vertical
The most significant development this period is the start of vertical residential construction. Foundations are down and framing has begun — the first standing structures on the site.
- Three foundations poured in roughly one month. Building A's slab was poured May 8, Building B's slab May 26, and Building C's slab is scheduled for June 6.
- Framing underway. The first floor of Building A is fully framed, and second-floor framing has begun — the first visible vertical structure on the site.
- Materials secured. Lumber, roof trusses, windows, doors, HVAC, and rough and finish plumbing have all been ordered, reducing exposure to supply-chain delay.
- Steady cadence. Vertical residential construction began March 11, 2026, and has held a consistent pace since.
Taken together, these milestones move Beyond Paradise 1 from site preparation into active vertical construction — exactly the phase in which EB-5 job creation accelerates.
3. Why On-the-Ground Construction De-Risks Your EB-5 Investment
Construction progress is not just a status report. For an EB-5 investor, each milestone maps directly to the structural factors that protect both your capital and your immigration case.
- Construction creates the jobs your petition depends on. Active building is what generates the qualifying jobs behind every I-526E and I-829 petition. When you evaluate what separates a strong rural EB-5 project from a weak one, verifiable construction is near the top of the list.
- USCIS has already reviewed the project. Beyond Paradise 1 is I-956F approved, meaning USCIS has reviewed the project's business plan, job-creation methodology, and compliance framework at the project level. This is not a routine filing.
- Your capital sits in a senior, first-position loan. The investment is structured as a senior loan in first position under a 3+1+1 term — a structure designed to prioritize repayment and limit downside exposure.
- I-526E Withdrawal Protection is built in. The offering includes I-526E Withdrawal Protection, a safeguard for investors at the petition stage that most projects do not provide.
- Rural TEA reserved visa category. As a rural TEA project, Beyond Paradise 1 qualifies for the reserved visa set-aside, which carries priority processing and remains current for all nationalities — including India and China. When investors compare rural EB-5 projects across the structural protection layers, this combination is rare.

The Bottom Line: For an EB-5 investor, the most reassuring project update is not a rendering — it is a poured slab and a framed wall. Beyond Paradise 1 has completed its site work, finished building pads across all three phases, and begun vertical framing on its first residential building, on a project that is already I-956F approved and structured around a senior, first-position loan. Construction is the engine of job creation, and job creation is what carries your I-526E and I-829 petitions. This update shows that engine running.
