Project introduction

Hillwood Flywheel BTS – LEGO Distribution Center in Virginia, USA

The Hillwood Flywheel BTS project is a Class A distribution center developed by Hillwood, one of the leading industrial real estate companies in the United States with over 35 years of experience. The project is located in Prince George County, Virginia, about 100 miles from Washington, D.C., and is near the $1 billion LEGO factory currently under construction. This will be LEGO’s main distribution center in the North American market, leveraging its strategic location and developed transportation infrastructure, while also being close to the Port of Virginia—the sixth-largest port in the United States.

The project is located in a TEA region with a high unemployment rate, fully meeting USCIS standards for the EB-5 program. With a total investment of $260.3 million, including $79.2 million from CMB Group 100 EB-5 loans, the project has commenced construction and is expected to create more than 2,043 jobs, exceeding USCIS requirements. Hillwood has committed equity and senior loans, along with a plan to complete the project by 2027 with a clear exit strategy through a real estate buyout agreement and LEGO’s long-term lease contract. Hillwood Flywheel BTS offers EB-5 investors a safe investment opportunity with secured assets, transparent cash flow, and high potential returns, while also aiming for sustainable residency and long-term profitability in the United States.
