NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Comfort Inn & Suites, funded with key EB-5 investments from American Lending Center (ALC), one of the nation’s leading EB-5 regional centers, has opened in Niagara Falls, NY. The hotel represents the third property recently funded by ALC in Niagara Falls' hospitality industry, following the local La Quinta Inn and Microtel Inn & Suites, which opened in 2016 and 2017 respectively.
The four-story, 82-room hotel received $1.5 million in EB-5 funds from immigrant investors through ALC. The property is set to increase the area's tourism revenue and generate significant local economic advancement. The city of Niagara Falls also contributed $100,000 through the N.F.C.

“We are proud to welcome new tourists and industries to the area and to be building partnerships with organizations like American Lending Center,” stated Mayor Paul Dyster. “We recognize that ALC funding was critical to the development of the Comfort Inn and numerous projects in the region and value their continued support and ongoing investment in our community."
"By investing in locally-operated small enterprises like the Comfort Inn & Suites, ALC supports communities by helping create permanent American jobs, acting as an investor lender, and stimulating economic growth," added John Shen, ALC CEO. "We are excited to continue the successful collaboration with the city of Niagara Falls, and to bring international investment to communities across America."
ALC received a record-breaking nine EB-5 project approvals in nine different cities for 30 newly approved investors in March of 2018 alone. The company is currently the largest non-bank SBA 504 lending institution, having successfully provided over 350 million dollars to American ventures and funded over 60 SBA 504 projects with parent company RCH.
