In this week’s edition of The CRE News Hour, we’ll discuss considerations for high net worth investors looking at qualified opportunity zone funds with Kevin Matz, a tax partner at Stroock Stroock & Lavan, we’ll take a tour of The Discovery Labs, a scientific research facility near Philadelphia that hopes to keep life sciences companies in the property from the work bench startup to whole buildings of research and manufacturing, and we’ll talk with Nathan Kivi, CEO of HotelierCo, an Atlanta startup that wants to make small investors into hotel owners – with room discounts as part of the benefits.
