Welcome to the RZ International: Virginia Regional Center (RZI-VA)

RZI-VA is a Richmond Virginia headquartered international community development investment firm. RZI-VA is committed to attracting international capital into Virginia communities to finance the development of quality real estate projects that create jobs, strengthen neighborhoods and serve as catalyst for additional investment and development. RZI-VA received federal designation as an EB-5 Regional Center from the Department of Homeland Security’s US Office of Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) on February 15, 2015 under the EB-5 Regional Center Pilot Program.

International capital can be a viable source for financing the development or expansion of real estate projects and other entrepreneurial ventures.
