Overview of the Improvement 1031 Exchange

Build-To-Suit 1031 Exchanges or Construction 1031 Exchanges are complex tax-deferred strategies where the Investor utilizes their 1031 Exchange profits to make improvements upon their acquired replacement property; the funds used to do so can be classified as tax deferred exchange treatment if the transaction is structured as an Improvement Exchange by the Investor’s Qualified Intermediary, and are used with either a Forward Exchange or a Reverse Exchange.

Deadlines to complete an Improvement Exchange are the same as a Forward 1031 Exchange or a Reverse 1031 Exchange transaction:  45 calendar days to identify the appropriate property, and 180 calendar days to complete the Improvement 1031 Exchange transaction.

Combining an Improvement Exchange with a Forward 1031 Exchange allows the Investor to sell their relinquished property first and then identify, acquire, and make improvements to their replacement property. Meanwhile, combining an Improvement Exchange with a Reverse 1031 Exchange allows the Investor to acquire and improve their replacement property while attempting to sell their relinquished property. Said improvements must be finished before the closing of the sale of the relinquished property.

Utilizing an Improvement Exchange within the confines of either a Forward 1031 Exchange or a Reverse 1031 Exchange enables the Investor to use a portion of their 1031 Exchange funds to improve their acquired replacement property on a tax-deferred basis. The Investor’s Exchange Accommodation Titleholder (EAT) will hold (or park) the title to the Investor’s replacement property during their Improvement 1031 Exchange to protect their client from liens and legal issues by setting up a special purpose entity in the form of a single member LLC.
