Bilzin Sumberg is pleased to share the results of the 2019 South Florida Opportunity Zone Survey and subsequent Forum that we co-hosted with Urban Land Institute Southeast Florida/Caribbean (ULI SE FL/Caribbean) on June 5, 2019. The Report captures the perspectives of developers, investors, and other professionals who specialize in real estate and finance in Florida, to delve into how the industry is thinking about the Opportunity Zone program and where the opportunities lie. Specifically, the report aimed to examine issues including:
- strategies with transformative economic potential to create lasting change in South Florida’s blighted neighborhoods
- legislation pertaining to the governance of Opportunity Zones and related investment issues
- the greatest benefits and obstacles for investing in Opportunity Zones
- asset classes most ripe for development in South Florida
