earlier this year, President Donald Trump began touting his administration's new real estate investment program, called "Opportunity Zone" , which offers massive tax breaks to developers who invest in downtrodden American communities. The Opportunity Zone program has been heavily promoted by Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner Kushner owns a big stake in a real estate investment firm, Cadre, that recently announced it is launching a series of Opportunity Zone funds that seek to build major projects under the program from Miami to Los Angeles. Separately, the couple owns interests in at least 13 properties held by Kushner's family firm that could qualify for the tax breaks because they are in Opportunity Zones in New Jersey, New York and Maryland — all of which, a study found, were already coming back. Six of the Kushner Cos. buildings are in New York City's Brooklyn Heights area, with views of the Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan skyline, where a five-bedroom apartment recently listed for $8 million. Two more are in the beach town of Long Branch, N.J., where some oceanfront condos within steps of a white-tablecloth Italian restaurant and a Lululemon yoga shop list for as much as $2.7 million. https://www.chicagotribune.com/news...ner-real-estate-tax-break-20181211-story.html
