Six Significant Benefits of Investing in Qualified Opportunity Zones

Co-founders of SF QOZ Fund and CPLG’s David S. Cohen and Liam Krahe co-authored a column for WealthManagement.com describing the benefits of investing in a Qualified Opportunity Zone such as downtown Miami. In the article they explore little known benefits such as deferral of taxable gain, elimination of tax on QOF assets, and more.

“Aggressive pricing”: Brickell landlords list sites

at record asking prices

CPLG Managing Attorney Liam Krahe shared insights on the Brickell commercial real estate market with The Real Deal. As high-profile properties hit the Miami market at unprecedented prices, Liam offered perspective on investor sentiment and market realities. He explained Brickell's continued appeal to foreign investors, noting that many view the area as a safe haven amid global economic turbulence. He emphasized that Brickell's robust market financial fundamentals remain crucial for securing investments and financing.

“Those [foreign] markets right now are every bit as tumultuous, if not more, than the U.S.,” Liam said. “Whatever we think of as unstable, it’s 10 times worse there.… A Qatari investor told me he isn’t looking anywhere in the U.S. except South Florida. They want to put money in the U.S., but they can’t justify putting it into areas like L.A. and New York.”

The Fund aims to acquire land in a Qualified Opportunity Zone for a 428-unit residential complex. With Downtown Miami booming and both domestic and international companies expanding their presence, more people are seeking to live close to their workplaces.

The session delved into the tax benefits of investing in Qualified Opportunity Zone Funds and strategies to maximize these advantages. It was a valuable discussion to expand knowledge and stay ahead in the field of QOZ funds.
