INTERESTED IN OPPORTUNITY ZONES?

WANT TO GET INVOLVED?

Join a network of like-minded individuals looking to source Opportunity Zone deals

Welcome to Polsinelli Opportunity Zones – a platform for facilitating opportunity zone deals. We bring together investors, fund sponsors and those deploying capital into Qualified Opportunity Zones. Take advantage of this new investment class and join with others looking to close their next deal.

HOW DO OPPORTUNITY ZONES WORK?

For those investing or deploying capital gains into an Opportunity Zone, taxes can be deferred on the gain. If an opportunity zone investment is held for 10 year plus one day, investment appreciation is completely forgiven. There is no cap on the amount of tax savings.

This move from deferral to total forgiveness of tax obligations makes Opportunity Zones one of the most important tax changes of the last few decades for investors, developers, entrepreneurs and the like and creates a potential new investment class for private equity, family offices and HNWI.

We are still awaiting additional guidance from Treasury and the IRS, but there are activities to do now. Polsinelli is part of a coalition helping to develop the administrative rules and guidance regarding these investments, and we believe strongly in the future of Opportunity Zone investing.

Our Mission

While individuals, family offices, fund sponsors, developers and entrepreneurs may realize the most benefits from the new legislation, Opportunity Zones are intended to be accessible to all classes of investors and businesses. Our platform is focused on providing a space to join other likeminded individuals looking to put together Opportunity Zone deals.

What are Opportunity Zones?

Opportunity Zones are disadvantaged areas in each State that are chosen and designated by the State for special treatment under the new Tax Act. Investors get significant tax advantages for investing in real estate and businesses in the Opportunity Zone, with the goal of the Tax Act being to incentivize economic development in the disadvantaged areas and help create jobs there.

WHERE ARE OPPORTUNITY ZONES?

All states have designated their Opportunity Zones, and a map of the Opportunity Zones is available from Polsinelli upon request. Significantly, many Opportunity Zones are located in major metropolitan areas across the United States.

Are Opportunity Zones like New MarketS Tax Credits or Low Income Housing Tax Credits?

No. While Opportunity Zones create tax advantages related to real estate or business investments, Opportunity Zones have much broader application. They are intended to be accessible to all classes of investors and businesses, instead of only select developers and properties.
