Understanding the potential advantages of the 200% Rule in a 1031 exchange By Dwight Kay, Founder & CEO; Betty Friant, Senior VP and The Kay Properties Team made famous by the popular TV game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Choosing the right answer in this game gives you a shot at winning big money, while the wrong answer leaves you with nothing. Investors conducting a 1031 Exchange face a similar make or break decision when it comes to iden - tifying suitable replacement properties. The right choices can help streamline a smooth and suc - cessful execution of a 1031 Exchange. Choosing wrong with properties that may not be viable or deals that are unable to close within the 180- day time period can derail the entire 1031 Exchange. The good news is that investors do get to identify more than one replace - ment property. However, just like the gameshow, once that 45-day deadline hits for iden - tifying replacement options, those answers are final. Making s that your final an - swer?” You may rec- ognize the question “I
corfac.com
the most of that short list is one reason that the 200% Rule is a popular choice for many inves - tors. The 200% Rule allows an investor to identify the largest number of replacement options with four or more properties or Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) replacement invest - ments. Under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, taxpay - ers who are seeking to defer recognition of capital gains and related federal income tax liability from the sale of a prop - erty are required to formally identify a replacement property or properties within 45-days from the date that the original property is relinquished (the
day they closed the escrow on the property they sold). The tax code gives taxpayers three different options for identifying replacement properties on that 45-Day Property Identification Form – the 200% Rule, the 3-Property Rule or the 95% Rule. So, which is the best op - tion to use? Every situation is different. However, for those investors who want to maxi - mize their potential options and identify four or more replace - ment properties, the 200%Rule is a good choice to explore. How does the 200% Rule work? Exchangers can identify any number of properties as long continued on page 32A

www.marej.com
OLUMBIA, MD — JLL Capital Markets se- cured a $82.57 million construction loan for develop - ment of the Marlow apart - ments, a 472-unit community with 32,340 s/f of ground-floor retail located in downtown Columbia. JLL worked on behalf of the borrower, an affiliate of The Howard Hughes Corpora- tion , to secure the floating- rate construction loan for an initial term of four years with a one-year extension. The to-be-bui lt Marlow apartments will be part of the larger 14 million s/f mas - ter planned development for downtown Columbia. Marlow will be one aspect of the larger Merriweather District micro market, which will ultimately total 2.3 million s/f of office space, 320,000 s/f of retail, 1,900 multi-housing units, a 250-room hotel, a community pavilion and about 60 acres of open space. Initial delivery of the apart - ments is expected in Fall 2022 C
Merriweather Post Pavilion, a renowned music and com - munity venue that’s hosted various artists, including Jimi Hendrix, Willie Nelson, Foo Fighters and Florence + The Machine. Also touted as the “heart and soul” of the third city between Baltimore and Washington D.C., this area is part of The Howard Hughes Corporation’s long-term re - naissance vision for downtown Columbia. The JLL Capital Markets team representing the borrow - er was led by Mark Gibson, Jamie Leachman, Drake Greer and Jackson Cabot . “The Marlow will be yet an - other transformational project to this master planned com - munity within Columbia,” said Leachman. “Howard Hughes’ commitment to its long-term vision coupled with more and more liquidity returning to the market on a weekly basis was reflected in the strong response from the lending community through market - ing process.” MAREJ a well-located property with exciting area amenities and job centers.” FCP has invested in the de - velopment of more than 9,000 multifamily units valued in ex - cess of $2.0 billion.

the entire public housing port - folio in Alexandria to be funded under this higher formula. Importantly, ARHA will retain ownership of these properties through its own nonprofit sub - sidiary. “The outstanding facet of this subsidy conversion is that ten - ant protections will remain in place,” Pettigrew said. “Tenant share of rent will not change, and our mission of serving poor and extremely poor households will be strengthened. Our goal is to preserve housing for vul - nerable populations and im - prove the quality of life for our current residents.” Higher operating subsidies will allow ARHA to rebuild each property more aggres- sively. At each redeveloped site, ARHA will be able to provide amenity spaces and a management office, and ensure strengthening the social fabric of a community is an integral part of the redevelopment. “Redevelopment is not just about brick and mortar. Our goal is to ensure that, as an agency, ARHA invests in the personal development of each resident and assists them in reaching their individual goals,” according to the plan approved by the ARHA Board of Commissioners. Plans for each site will in - clude a mix of incomes. The recently completed construc - tion on the property of the former Ramsey Homes, built in 1942, to the new Lineage at North Patrick exemplifies the approach that ARHA and its partners can take on any site. The Lineage transformed 15 public housing units into 52 affordable units in a beautiful new building. The building includes 15 replacement units for low-income households and adds 37 more affordable units for workforce households. Pettigrew notes there is no difference in accommodations whether a household earns $17,000 a year or $70,000. “Once our board embraced this agenda, we held seven community meetings to ex - plain our plan to residents,” Pettigrew said. “With these first three HUD approvals and more to come, our plans are quickly becoming a reality. Our partners in the city’s housing office and the community at large can look forward to seeing ARHA play a leadership role in a market in desperate need of affordable housing.” MAREJ
213 units. The rents at other public housing sites will be converted through the Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) program, again chang - ing the funding source from public housing to an increased funding stream. “These tools will increase the cash flow at each site,” said ARHA CEO Keith Pettigrew . “There is a tremendous back - log of maintenance at public housing communities across the nation, including Alexan - dria, and these conversions will allow us to catch up, stay ahead and ensure that our
residents live in high-quality, well-maintained buildings.” These subsidy changes re - sult from a 2018 HUD policy allowing housing authorities to change the funding stream and work under less restrictive regulations for a portion of their public housing units. Through two programs called Section 18 and RAD, ARHA expects to convert 504 current public housing units to higher funding rates. When that mile - stone is reached, the remaining 250 units will automatically be approved for Housing Choice vouchers, clearing the way for
housing properties. Funding for vouchers is sig - nificantly higher than public housing subsidies, and the ap - provals represent a major step in accomplishing ARHA’s ambi - tious redevelopment activity. By using changes in HUD funding, ARHA is laying the foundation for the agency to ultimately upgrade and sustain its entire 754 units of public housing, plus build new work - force and market rate housing. The first three properties approved for conversion are Ladrey High-Rise, Park Place, and Saxony Square, a total of

The remaining $10 million from Schusterman will provide growth capital and advisory services designed to support BIPOC developers as they grow their operations and real estate portfolios and create impact in their communities. “For centuries, Black entre - preneurs have lacked access to the capital we all need to be able to start and build business - es, and even when that capital was available, it was frequently overpriced. We are pleased to support Enterprise Commu - nity Partners’ national effort to provide financing to developers of color so they can build their businesses while creating more affordable housing for the many families in need,” said Stacy Schusterman , chair, Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Philanthropies. “We believe that through efforts to develop new community development finance models, all developers can be afforded equitable access to capital and the nation’s sup - ply of affordable housing can expand in the process.” ”We are excited about the opportunity to support Enter - prise’s Equitable Path For - ward. CIGP’s intent is to enable intermediaries to ap - proach community financing more innovatively and equi - tably,” said Sarah Stremlau , president of LOCUS Impact Investing , which manages CIGP. “Through this proj - ect, we hope Enterprise and the other standby guarantee
facility’s investors will help BIPOC and other historically marginalized developers build wealth and gain access to the development opportunities they justly deserve.” “For too long, developers of color – despite credibility and community knowledge -- have been unable to access the kind of capital that helps them grow their businesses and invest in their neighborhoods. Equitable Path Forward, and specifically the Standby Guaranty Facility, allows Enterprise to address the speed bumps they may face working with traditional lenders and investors,” said Priscilla Almodovar , presi - dent and chief executive officer, Enterprise. “With partners like Schusterman and the Com - munity Investment Guaran - tee Pool, we are beginning to change the finance system to advance racial equity.” Equitable Path Forward Equitable Path Forward is a five-year, $3.5 billion nation - wide initiative to help disman - tle the deeply-rooted legacy of racism in housing – from the types of homes that are built, where they’re built, who builds them, and the wealth that is generated from them. The mul - tipronged initiative establishes an equitable path forward for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color and other historically marginalized housing provid - ers by filling the gaping capital gap from decades of systemic racism, strengthening provid - ers through advisory services and other nonfinancial support and creating new career path - ways to diversify leadership in real estate.

more reluctant to fund overseas ventures, as they would rather pursue low-risk stateside de - velopment opportunities and avoid the potentially challeng - ing situations that may arise. As a result, foreign developers would be hard-pressed to find a U.S.-based traditional lender willing to take the risk. “To close a loan outside the U.S., you must have a knowl - edge of local laws, regulations, and requirements. Each Carib - bean nation has its own set of challenges,” adds Wolfer. “It’s rewarding when you can get another loan to the closing table.” Kennedy has closed over $3 billion in loans throughout the world, including Jamaica, The Bahamas, Brazil, Belize, Co - lombia, and Canada, to name a few. “We have consistently closed loans abroad for years, while other lenders flat-out say ‘no’ to these types of deals,” Wolfer said. “Through years of hands- on experience closing loans for all types of deals, we have shown time and again that we can help borrowers just like Atlantic Ocean Partners access the capital they need for lucrative opportunities around the world.” MAREJ
N G L E W O O D CLIFFS, NJ — An investment group in the Dominican Republic has turned to Kennedy Fund- ing to secure a loan for their beachfront property on the country’s northern coast. The Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey-based direct private lender closed a $2.3 million loan to Atlantic Ocean Part- ners, LLC , for a 60.48-acre tract on Playa Diamante, in the province of Maria Trinidad Sanchez. Loan proceeds will be used for debt payoff and working capital. “Atlantic Ocean Partners came to Kennedy because they know firsthand that we have the knowledge, experience, and track record to close the deal,” said Kevin Wolfer , CEO, Kennedy Funding. “We take great pride in knowing that our firm has garnered a worldwide reputation for closing loans when traditional lenders cannot.” The site on Playa Diamante is approved for a mixed-use resort and residential develop - ment; the property is zoned for agricultural, residential, and touristic use. The borrower had purchased the property outright for $4.945 million in
Representative photo 2008. According to Wolfer, while the COVID-19 pandemic has slowed international tourism, the Dominican Republic will experience a resurgence in vacationers from all over the globe as virus transmission slows and when travel restric - tions loosen. However, even with such uncertain circum - stances, Kennedy Funding’s familiarity with the economic landscape of the Dominican Republic allowed them to say “yes” to Atlantic Ocean Part - ners’ loan request. Playa Diamante is in a se - cluded, undeveloped area; the beach is well-known for white, sandy shores and warmwater. It is easily accessible by bus and by vehicle via Rte.5, a main thoroughfare on the Do - minican Republic’s northern coast. “Tourism will come bouncing back after the COVID-19 pan - demic ends,” Wolfer said. Wolfer noted that banks and other conventional lenders are
