It’s both a strategic and values-driven choice.
From a business standpoint, combining senior living and multifamily apartments creates a balanced, diversified income stream. The two segments tend to perform well under different market conditions: senior housing offers long-term stability, while apartments for young professionals generate shorter-cycle returns and broader market appeal. This mix strengthens the project’s overall financial profile.
The College sees long-term value in bringing generations together. Seniors often want to stay connected, contribute, and share what they’ve learned. Young professionals are navigating the start of their careers and can benefit from that insight. Through optional intergenerational programming, including mentoring and reverse mentoring, this development offers opportunities for connection across age, culture, and experience.
As AIC expands its academic offering to include business and other mainstream degrees from 2027, the potential for dialogue, knowledge exchange, and global relationship-building grows – aligning with the College’s mission to promote cross-cultural understanding and economic bridges between the U.S. and the wider world.
Immaculata Living is open to all, regardless of faith, background, or belief. The development is designed to be inclusive, intergenerational, and welcoming – a place where people from all walks of life can live comfortably, connect with others, and be part of a thoughtful, diverse community.
Immaculata is a Latin title meaning “immaculate” or “unstained,” and is one of the traditional names given to the Virgin Mary – a revered figure in both Christianity and Islam. The name symbolizes purity, renewal, and grace across faith traditions.
The site was originally home to Immaculata High School, a Catholic girls’ school founded in 1921, serving the community for six decades and producing many distinguished graduates including Mildred Agnes (née Martínez) Prevost, the mother of Pope Leo XIV. When the school closed, the Sisters of the Blessed Virgin Mary entrusted the campus to American Islamic College, enabling the creation of a new institution dedicated to education, dialogue, and cross-cultural understanding.
By naming the project Immaculata Living, we honor that rich history while giving it new life as an inclusive, intergenerational residential community that respects the past while building for the future. The name reflects both continuity and shared values across cultures, faiths, and generations.
Yes, the minimum subscription amount is $200,000. This is because we expect to conduct the offering under a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation D 506(c) exemption, which requires all participants to be accredited investors.
While this structure does limit participation to accredited investors, it also enables us to raise capital efficiently and comply with regulatory requirements – helping us focus resources on delivering a high-quality, well-governed project. We remain committed to exploring other community-facing opportunities in the future that may be more broadly accessible.
This opportunity is open to both cryptocurrency and traditional (non-crypto) investors. Subscriptions can be made in U.S. Dollars as well as in selected cryptocurrencies. We chose to accept crypto because many digital asset holders have expressed a strong interest in owning real-world assets without the friction and cost of liquidating their holdings.
Thanks to Wyoming’s pioneering legislation, we are able to legally recognize token holders as members of a DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization), with rights similar to those of conventional shareholders. This framework allows us to seamlessly integrate blockchain-based investment alongside traditional capital.
Yes.
We project income of 7-8% annually, and expect to reach over 10% annualised once real estate appreciation is taken into account.
Yes, we are committed to fair labor practices and our contractors use union labor to ensure quality, compliance, and ethical standards throughout the build process.
The development will include modern shared spaces such as a rooftop garden, gym, co-working areas, lounge spaces, parking, and 24/7 security.
Prices will vary based on unit size, floor, and view. A full pricing list will be available during the sales phase. For now, we can share indicative ranges upon request to accredited investors.
Yes, our fractional investment model allows you to invest in smaller amounts to receive rental income only. Occupation will only be available to those whose investment covers the cost of an apartment.
Yes, the project and its financing are in full compliance with Islamic and ethical principles: the financing of this development is planned to be 100% equity, with upfront funding ensuring that partners do not need to take on debt. The project does not involve the use of offshore structures and is committed to using only unionised labor.
We believe that the above steps taken to ensure Shariah compliance also serve to reduce the risk for conventional investors, without adding extra costs.
Accredited investors may contact the American Islamic College for any specific queries with regard to Shariah compliance.
Investors will co-own the property management company handling day-to-day operations and maintenance. These services may be subcontracted to a local supplier if this is in the investors’ interest.
Yes, international investors are welcome, and we plan to accept overseas payments by both bank transfer and crypto. ID verification will be required, and will be held in strict confidence in accordance with the laws of Illinois, Wyoming and the United States of America.
This development will create at least 50 permanent jobs on-site, meeting the eligibility criteria for investor visas. More information is available on the Visa page.
We are taking advice from counsel and will update this page shortly. We don’t intend to restrict transfer between investors unless required by applicable regulation.
As tenants begin to occupy, rental income and operational profits will be distributed proportionally based on ownership, on a monthly basis by either bank transfer (ACH/wire) or stablecoin.
We are confident that the entire development will be completed within 36 months, with some phases running concurrently: the renovation of the historic buildings is projected to take 18 months, and the construction of the new tower will take 24 months.
Delays are always a possibility in real estate development. To manage this risk, the project is being delivered by an experienced Chicago developer with a 30-year track record. A Big Four audit firm will provide commercial assurance, verifying progress, costs, and timelines. An independent oversight board with real estate expertise will also be in place to monitor delivery.
In addition, the land title will be held by a legally recognized DAO LLC controlled by investors. This ensures that investors retain ownership of the underlying asset regardless of the project timeline.
Yes, you may view the exterior of the site without an appointment, but please do not park in the parking lot without prior approval as you may be towed. To see inside the current buildings, accredited investors may contact us at future@aicusa.edu to make an appointment.
Each token represents a fractional ownership interest in the development. Tokens are recorded on the blockchain, allowing for transparency and potential liquidity via future trading platforms. More detailed documentation is available in our paper. It will be a security.
