Investor Equity Contribution

$5,000,000

Est. Passive Income Offset

Up to $7.18M in passive or active income offset (if eligible)


🔥 Key Investor Benefits

  • Paper losses in Year 1 of ~$7.1M (on a $15.4M investment)

  • Offset passive income from other real estate or active income if classified as a real estate professional (REP)

  • Significant boost to internal rate of return (IRR) through tax efficiency

  • Flexibility: Hold long-term as cash-flow asset or exit in 3–5 years with low basis and high IRR


📊 Example Investor Scenario

Investor A contributes $1,000,000 as part of an equity raise:

  • Receives $1M X 70% = $700,000 in Year 1 paper loss

  • If investor has $700K in passive gains from other properties or is a REP:

    • Could reduce federal tax liability by $259,000+ (assuming 37% tax bracket)

  • That’s an immediate 25%+ return on equity from tax savings alone


🧠 Why It Matters

If you’re sitting on cash waiting for:

  • Lower rates

  • Higher yields

  • Or better legislative clarity

...this site offers the unique combination of long-term urban growth + immediate tax arbitrage. It’s not just a development site — it’s a real estate tax shelter wrapped in downtown land.


💼 Investor Advantage – Key Tax Incentives (Post-BBB Legislation)

✅ Bonus Depreciation

Deduct up to 60%–80% of qualifying improvements in Year One (structures, infrastructure, land improvements).

✅ Accelerated Cost Segregation

Maximize first-year deductions with enhanced component depreciation — perfect for multifamily or mixed-use projects.

✅ Empowerment Zone Benefits

Located in an Empowerment Zone with potential:

  • Capital gains deferral

  • Local/state tax credits

  • Incentives for job creation & redevelopment

hy Now? Unmatched Tax Advantages Under the New BBB Legislation – An Ideal Time to Invest in 1501–1511 Exchange Ave, OKC

With the recent passage of key provisions in the updated Build Back Better (BBB) framework, the timing for real estate investment — particularly in mixed-use, income-generating development sites like 1501–1511 Exchange Ave — has never been more advantageous.

The bill includes significant updates to depreciation rules, cost segregation treatment, and real estate tax incentives, which investors can leverage immediately to maximize returns, mitigate risk, and accelerate equity growth — even in a dynamic interest rate environment.


💼 Key Tax & Depreciation Benefits to Investors Under the New BBB Provisions

✅ 1. Enhanced Bonus Depreciation

  • The legislation extends and modifies bonus depreciation allowances, enabling investors to immediately deduct up to 60%–80% of qualifying asset values (e.g., HVAC, fixtures, land improvements, parking lots).

  • For a newly developed or improved site, this allows investors to significantly reduce taxable income in year one, freeing up capital or improving yield on equity.

✅ 2. Accelerated Cost Segregation Opportunities

  • Cost segregation studies now provide greater precision and shorter class lives for many real estate components, maximizing first-year depreciation even further.

  • For a site like Exchange Ave with infrastructure access, existing structures, and potential buildout costs — this could equate to millions in accelerated tax deductions for qualified investors.

✅ 3. Empowerment Zone Incentives Still In Play

  • This site lies within a qualified empowerment zone, which opens the door to additional federal and local tax incentives, including:

    • Deferral of capital gains

    • Enhanced depreciation

    • Potential local or state grants or tax abatement(s) tied to job creation and infrastructure development


📊 Why It Matters Right Now

After a period of wait-and-see in the investor community, 2025 is shaping up to be a breakout year for real estate investment due to the convergence of:

  • Stabilizing interest rates

  • New tax incentives for development and depreciation

  • Urban infill demand in fast-growing secondary markets like Oklahoma City

  • Strong government push for housing and mixed-use revitalization

Investors who have been sitting on the sidelines due to rate volatility or tax uncertainty should take a hard look at opportunities that offer both long-term upside and immediate tax efficiency. With land and labor still relatively affordable in OKC — and this site located along a scenic river corridor just minutes from the urban core — this is precisely the kind of property where depreciation and cost segregation can materially impact your internal rate of return (IRR) from day one.


🧠 Strategic Takeaway

The recently updated BBB bill has turned tax law into a powerful accelerator for real estate investors. When you combine:

  • A fully approved mixed-use PUD,

  • Prime urban riverfront location,

  • Immediate cash flow potential from existing structures, and

  • Now enhanced depreciation allowances,

…this site is positioned not just as a real estate deal — but as a tax-efficient wealth-building vehicle.

Let us show you how the numbers work under the new framework. With construction timelines and entitlement risk already removed, you’re looking at one of the most de-risked and tax-leveraged development opportunities in the OKC market today.
