Ones To Watch: Innovators in CRE - Russell Stein, Partridge Snow & Hahn

Where do you see the biggest opportunities for innovation in CRE or your area of expertise? The renewal of the Opportunity Zone rules creates enhanced opportunities for investors to deploy capital through specialized real estate funds and potentially exclude up to 100% of gains on qualifying investments from taxation. Beginning in 2027, I expect newly designated Opportunity Zone tracts to attract increased investor attention, potentially driving property values and transaction activity as the market moves to capitalize on renewed incentives.
