Qualified Opportunity Zone Investments
Put your capital gains to work in Opportunity Zone real estate
Reinvest eligible capital gains into qualifying Opportunity Zone investments while deferring taxes and creating the potential for tax-advantaged growth over the long term.
How Opportunity Zone Investing Works
Qualified Opportunity Zones allow investors to reinvest all or a portion of eligible capital gains from appreciated assets into a Qualified Opportunity Fund. Investors may defer tax on the reinvested gain and, after meeting applicable requirements, potentially receive favorable federal tax treatment on qualifying appreciation.

Opportunity Zones 2.0
A permanent program. A more predictable framework.
Under current federal tax law, beginning in 2027 Opportunity Zones become a permanent part of the tax code with rolling five-year deferral periods, enhanced benefits for qualifying rural investments and new zone designations every 10 years. Unlike a 1031 exchange, investors generally need to reinvest only the eligible gain—not the full sale proceeds. The program's principal 10-year benefit remains.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of capital gains can be invested in an Opportunity Zone?
Do I have to reinvest all of the proceeds from a sale?
Investors may also choose to reinvest only a portion of an eligible gain.
How long do I have to invest a capital gain into a Qualified Opportunity Fund?
What is the difference between an Opportunity Zone and a 1031 exchange?
Opportunity Zones can accept qualifying capital gains from a broader range of assets, and only the eligible gain needs to be reinvested. Opportunity Zones may also provide favorable federal tax treatment on qualifying new appreciation after applicable holding requirements are satisfied.
What happens to the tax on my original capital gain?
Under Opportunity Zones 1.0, deferred gains generally must be recognized no later than December 31, 2026. For qualifying investments beginning in 2027, Opportunity Zones 2.0 generally provides a rolling five-year deferral period.
Why is the 10-year holding period important?
Subject to applicable requirements, qualifying appreciation generated by the Opportunity Zone investment may then receive favorable federal capital gains tax treatment.
How might investors prepare for the deferred tax becoming due?
An independent valuation during development may also reflect factors such as construction status, marketability and illiquidity that affect the investment's then-current value and potentially the amount of gain recognized. Refinancing proceeds, valuations and tax outcomes are not guaranteed.
What are the risks of Opportunity Zone investing?
The tax benefits also depend on satisfying applicable requirements. Investors should evaluate the underlying investment independently of its potential tax advantages.
