Description
On the surface there are numerous reasons to invest in an adaptive reuse or opportunity zone project, for instance, tax incentives for historic preservation, potential development cost savings, and oftentimes ideal locations in densely populated cities. However, there is still a lot regulatory uncertainty around these opportunities making some investor slower to jump on the bandwagon. This is particularly true for opportunity zones where interest is high but a lack of clarity around the rules is delaying investments whereas, adaptive reuse projects are seeing more activity from investors. Top dealmakers from around the nation will use their own personal experiences and observations of well known projects like Packard Plant in Detroit or the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard in San Francisco to articulate the direction of the market, where metrics are headed and when we'll start seeing the money flow for opportunity zones.
