Golden Gate Global Announces USCIS Approval of The Mammoth Collection, Its 17th Approved EB-5 Project in California
Why Has Golden Gate Global Been a Leading EB-5 Sponsor in California for More Than a Decade? California’s high costs, complex regulations, and lengthy entitlement process create significant barriers to entry, but they also reward experienced developers with capital, patience, and local market knowledge. Combined with the state’s concentration of wealth, innovation, tourism, scarce real estate, and economic diversity, Golden Gate Global believes California remains one of the strongest U.S. markets for institutional-quality EB-5 investment. As Golden Gate Global’s home market, California has been central to the firm’s strategy since the beginning, with projects financed across San Francisco, Silicon Valley, Wine Country, Hollywood, Southern California, and other key destinations.
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Golden Gate Global is pleased to announce that The Mammoth Collection, a rural EB-5 project in California’s Greater Mammoth region, has received project approval from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), further extending Golden Gate Global’s 100% USCIS project approval rate.
With 17 sponsored projects, Golden Gate Global is California’s largest EB-5 project sponsor.

The Mammoth Collection is Golden Gate Global’s 17th EB-5 project in the State of California. The fully funded project financed the development of a 101-key Residence Inn by Marriott and an 80-key Hampton Inn by Hilton and was structured for 45 EB-5 investors. The investment features a senior secured loan, a first deed of trust across both hotel assets, and a developer completion guarantee.
The approval comes on the heels of USCIS approval of Anasu Resort Phase 2, another rural EB-5 project sponsored by Golden Gate Global in California Wine Country across Lake and Napa counties. Anasu is the vision of hospitality pioneer Adrian Zecha, founder of Aman Resorts and co-founder of Regent International Hotels.
Golden Gate Global’s California portfolio has also recently received recognition beyond the EB-5 industry. Appellation Healdsburg, a Golden Gate Global-sponsored project in Sonoma County, was recently named the Best Resort in California by Travel + Leisure magazine.
Since 2011, Golden Gate Global has focused on bringing institutional-quality investments to the immigrant investor community. The firm believes strongly in the depth and resilience of California’s economy, from Silicon Valley and Hollywood to Wine Country, hospitality, tourism, and real estate. With 17 sponsored EB-5 projects in the state, Golden Gate Global has established itself as the largest sponsor of EB-5 projects in California.
The project approvals also come at an important time for investors considering the EB-5 Green Card program. USCIS filing fees for Form I-526E are scheduled to increase significantly beginning November 30, 2026. In addition, the minimum EB-5 investment amount is expected to increase beginning January 1, 2027 for qualifying Targeted Employment Area projects from $800,000 today to more than $900,000, as part of the program’s scheduled inflation adjustment.
For prospective investors considering the EB-5 Green Card program, these recent approvals reflect Golden Gate Global’s continued commitment to sponsoring institutional-quality EB-5 projects in California. With a growing portfolio across the state and a 100% USCIS project approval rate, the firm remains focused on combining strong project fundamentals with experienced sponsorship and disciplined execution.
