The asset
Oasis Resort — Buttonwillow, California.
Oasis Resort is a destination resort and rest-stop campus on Interstate 5 at Exit 268 in Buttonwillow, California, a short drive west of Bakersfield on one of the highest-traffic corridors in the western United States. Villa accommodation, pools and clubhouse, dining and a full retail forecourt sit on a single interstate-frontage site.
The campus is wrapped in a longevity programme — clinical diagnostics, recovery suites and a residential protocol — so hospitality revenue and health revenue compound on the same footprint.
A 156-acre racetrack parcel adjoins the site, host to an all-year racing calendar. That continuous traffic — race weekends, teams, spectators and interstate travellers — gives the resort year-round occupancy rather than a seasonal spike, and it is the demand base the investment case is built on.

First of its kind
A 100% EB-5 raise.
Most EB-5 hotel projects blend a small EB-5 tranche into a capital stack dominated by bank debt and sponsor equity, which leaves the visa investor as a minority participant. Oasis Resort is structured the other way round: 100% of the raise is EB-5 qualifying capital.
Every subscription maps directly to job-creating construction and operating expenditure, and every investor sits in the same position in the structure — a single, stable, high-yield real estate investment with no institutional preference ahead of it.
Priority processing
Rural TEA in the Bakersfield area.
The site sits in a rural Targeted Employment Area, the designation Congress created to direct investment into communities outside the major metropolitan cores. Rural projects carry a reserved visa allocation and are eligible for priority processing of the investor petition — an earlier place in the queue than a standard urban filing.
For an investor, that means the immigration timeline runs alongside the construction timeline rather than behind it, and it comes with the reduced investment threshold reserved for targeted employment areas.
EB-5 eligibility, the TEA designation, minimum investment amounts and processing times are determined by US Citizenship and Immigration Services and are subject to change. An allocation does not guarantee visa approval. Prospective investors should take independent legal, tax and immigration advice.
