JLL Income Property Trust, an institutionally managed, daily NAV REIT (NASDAQ: ZIPTAX; ZIPTMX; ZIPIAX; ZIPIMX) with approximately $6.9 billion in portfolio equity and debt investments, with approximately $6.9 billion in portfolio equity and debt investments, announced the full cycle UPREIT of assets owned by JLLX Diversified Portfolio III, DST from its JLL Exchange platform, which offers reinvestment opportunities to 1031 exchange investors. In a 721 UPREIT transaction, real estate can be exchanged on a tax-deferred basis for partnership interests in a REIT, offering the potential for owners of the exchanged property to achieve greater diversification, current income and appreciation.
JLLX Diversified Portfolio III, DST is a two-property DST syndicated between November 2023 and May 2024, comprised of one light industrial property and one medical outpatient building. The portfolio is 100% leased to two tenants with 7.5 years of weighted average lease term. Over the hold period, the combined portfolio experienced a $1.3 million increase in value. The REIT has elected to exercise its option to acquire the DST properties, completing the full cycle transaction via a 721 UPREIT. Investors will receive operating units of JLL Income Property Trust equal to the value of the DST properties adjusted for transaction costs, distributions, and reserves.
“JLL Exchange continues to provide innovative solutions to the historical challenges investors face with traditional 1031 products,” said Drew Dornbusch, Head of JLL Exchange. “With JLL Income Property Trust’s UPREIT acquisition of these properties, we’ve demonstrated our ability to provide 1031 exchange investors with current income, capital preservation and ultimately, a tax-deferred interest in a diversified, institutional core real estate portfolio.”
Allan Swaringen, President and CEO of JLL Income Property Trust added, “Delivering an income-focused, high-quality core diversified real estate fund to our DST investors through the UPREIT of these properties demonstrates the true benefits of our JLL Exchange program. These transactions confirm our ability to respond to market demand with another innovative tax-advantaged solution for the private wealth market.”
Since its inception in 2019, JLL Exchange has provided exchange solutions for over $2.5 billion of investors’ capital across 30 DST offerings from property owners seeking to maintain a meaningful allocation to real estate in a tax efficient manner. To date, JLL Income Property Trust has completed 20 full cycle UPREIT transactions totaling $1.5 billion.
