Commercial real estate investors are among the most active users of 1031 exchanges. Whether you own an office building, retail center, industrial warehouse, or multi-family apartment complex, a 1031 exchange allows you to defer your capital gains taxes and reinvest your full equity into a larger or more strategic asset.
Types of Commercial Properties We Handle
We facilitate exchanges for all types of commercial real estate, including properties with complex ownership structures, multiple tenants, and significant depreciation recapture.
- Office buildings and business parks
- Retail shopping centers and strip malls
- Industrial warehouses and distribution centers
- Multi-family apartment complexes (5+ units)
- Hotels and hospitality properties
- Mixed-use commercial/residential buildings
Depreciation Recapture in Commercial Exchanges
Commercial properties often have significant accumulated depreciation, which triggers a 25% recapture tax when sold. A 1031 exchange defers both the capital gains tax and the depreciation recapture tax, allowing your full equity to continue compounding.
DST and TIC Replacement Options
If you want to exit active management, Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs) and Tenancy-in-Common (TIC) arrangements allow you to exchange into passive commercial real estate investments that still qualify as like-kind replacement property.
