Decoding Opportunity Zone Investing: secrets to know and pitfalls to avoid
The Qualified Opportunity Zone (QOZ) program was established by Congress in the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act as a new tool to incentivize long-term private sector investments in gentrifying and emerging neighborhoods nationwide through Qualified Opportunity Funds, in exchange for a suite of tax benefits. Trillions of dollars of unrealized capital gains are eligible for tax efficient investment in real estate and businesses in designated QOZs. The Qualified Opportunity Zone program has the potential to emerge as the most meaningful federal incentive for long-term investment ever enacted.
CoPlace is an investment and advisory firm that focuses on activating distressed areas by revitalizing their local communities and business ecosystems. CoPlace has completed multiple socially and economically impactful projects, which have received awards and garnered international attention from industry, government, and academic groups.
