The Chicago-Rockford Hilton Embassy Suites Hotel & Conference Center is nearing completion and has a Grand Opening scheduled for June 29. Major construction is now complete and the project is being outfitted with the remaining FF&E. At present we do not see any further delays due to Covid-19, but there is a chance the Grand Opening date may get pushed back if the situation worsens. 

Both the hotel and the conference center buildings have received their certificates of occupancy and a jobs fair was held last month at the conference center to meet the facilities’ staffing needs.

To date, more than enough jobs have been created by the project to meet all of the USCIS job creation requirements for all of the project’s EB-5 investor I-829 application approvals. The project has maintained a 100% approval rating on all EB-5 investor I-526 applications.
