What does the future hold for the tax-incentivized Opportunity Zone investments? Will there be a reasonable expansion of the OZ policy in the coming years? While future legislation for OZs remains open to debate, this bipartisan investment program offers distinct financial benefits with social and economic impacts. This podcast from OpportuntiyDb explores the future of Opportunity Zones.

Arctaris Impact Investors, LLC is pleased to announce its recent Opportunity Zone investment in a $600 million multi-phased development project spanning the Ward 7 and 8 neighborhoods of Washington, D.C. The project is expected to attract additional capital to the region for inclusive development. The investment was catalyzed by D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser's mandate for city agencies to use the leasing power to spur economic development in historically underserved communities.

Unique in the Opportunity Zone space, the fund is structured as a private REIT and a 506(c) offering available to Accredited Investors.
