History and Development of the Company
We are the successor in interest to Belpointe REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Belpointe REIT”), incorporated on June 19, 2018. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Belpointe REIT in an exchange offer and related conversion and merger transaction.
On May 9, 2023, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) declared effective our registration statement on Form S-11, as amended (File No. 333-271262) (the “Follow-on Registration Statement”), registering the offer and sale of up to $750,000,000 of our Class A units on a continuous “best efforts” basis by any method deemed to be an “at the market” offering pursuant to Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), including by offers and sales made directly to investors or through one or more agents (our “Follow-on Offering”).
In connection with the Follow-on Registration Statement, we entered into a non-exclusive dealer manager agreement with Emerson Equity LLC (the “Dealer Manager”), a registered broker-dealer, for the sale of our Class A units through the Dealer Manager. The Dealer Manager has and will continue to enter into participating dealer agreements and wholesale agreements with other broker-dealers, referred to as “selling group members,” to authorize those broker-dealers to solicit offers to purchase our Class A units. We pay our Dealer Manager commissions of up to 0.25%, and the selling group members commissions ranging from 0.25% to 4.50%, of the principal amount of Class A unit sold in the Follow-on Offering.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, we issued 172,523 Class A units in connection with our Follow-on Offering. Together with the gross proceeds raised in our primary offering, which expired in 2024 (our “Primary Offering” and together with our Follow-on Offering, our “Public Offerings”), and the gross proceeds raised in Belpointe REIT’s prior offerings, as of December 31, 2025, we have raised aggregate gross offering cash proceeds of $368.6 million.
The purchase price for Class A units in our Follow-on Offering is the lesser of (i) the current net asset value (the “NAV”) of our Class A units, and (ii) the average of the high and low sale prices of our Class A units on the NYSE American (the “NYSE”) during regular trading hours on the last trading day immediately preceding the investment date on which the NYSE was open for trading and trading in our Class A units occurred. Our Manager calculates our NAV within approximately 60 days of the last day of each quarter, and any adjustments take effect as of the first business day following its public announcement. On March 4, 2026, we announced that our NAV as of December 31, 2025 was equal to $116.17 per Class A unit.
Overview of our Business and Operations
We are the only publicly traded qualified opportunity fund listed on a national securities exchange. We are a Delaware limited liability company formed on January 24, 2020, and a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We are focused on identifying, acquiring, developing or redeveloping and managing commercial and mixed-use real estate located within qualified opportunity zones. At least 90% of our assets consist of qualified opportunity zone property. We qualified as a qualified opportunity fund beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2020. Because we are a qualified opportunity fund certain of our investors are eligible for favorable capital gains tax treatment on their investments.
All of our assets are and will continue to be held by, and all of our operations are and will continue to be conducted through, one or more of our Operating Companies, either directly or indirectly through their subsidiaries. We are externally managed by Belpointe PREP Manager, LLC (our “Manager”), which is an affiliate of our sponsor, Belpointe, LLC (our “Sponsor”).

Our Investment Objectives and Investment Strategy
Our primary investment objectives are:
| ● | to preserve, protect and return your capital contribution; |
| ● | to pay attractive and consistent cash distributions over the long term; |
| ● | to grow net cash from operations so that an increasing amount of cash flow is available for distributions to investors over the long term; and |
| ● | to realize growth in the value of our investments. |
We cannot assure you that we will achieve our investment objectives. See Item 1A. “Risk Factors.”
Our initial investments consist of and are expected to continue to consist of properties located in qualified opportunity zones for the development or redevelopment of multifamily, student housing, senior living, healthcare, industrial, self-storage, hospitality, office, mixed-use, data centers and solar projects located throughout the United States and its territories. We also anticipate identifying, acquiring, developing or redeveloping and managing a wide range of commercial real estate properties located throughout the United States and its territories, including, but not limited to, real estate-related assets, such as commercial real estate loans and mortgages, and debt and equity securities issued by other real estate-related companies, as well as making private equity acquisitions and investments, and opportunistic acquisitions of other qualified opportunity funds and qualified opportunity zone businesses, with the goal of increasing distributions and capital appreciation.
Our investment guidelines delegate to our Manager discretion and authority to execute acquisitions and dispositions of investments (including the reinvestment of capital basis and gains), provided such investments are consistent with our investment objectives and strategy and our investment guidelines. Our Manager’s investment committee will periodically review our portfolio of assets and investments, our investment objectives and strategy and our investment guidelines to determine whether they remain in the best interests of our members and may recommend changes to our Board as it deems appropriate. We may, at any time and without member approval, cease to be a qualified opportunity fund and acquire assets that do not qualify as qualified opportunity zone investments. Furthermore, there are no prohibitions in our Operating Agreement on the amount or percentage of assets that may be invested in a single property.
Our Reporting Segments
As of December 31, 2025, we have organized our operations into two reporting segments, commercial and mixed-use, based on the way we organize and evaluate our business internally.
Qualified Opportunity Zone Program
The opportunity zone program is a community development program established by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “JOBS Act” or “OZ 1.0”), and later expanded, and certain provisions originally set to expire permanently extended, by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 (the “OBBBA” or “OZ 2.0”), to encourage new long-term investment in low-income urban and rural communities nationwide. The opportunity zone program provides tax incentives for investors to re-invest their unrealized capital gains into qualified opportunity funds dedicated to investing in qualified opportunity zones.
“Qualified opportunity zones” are census tracts identified and nominated by the chief executives of every state and territory of the United States (e.g., state governors) and designated by the Secretary of the Treasury.
There were more than 8,700 qualified opportunity zones designated throughout the United States and its territories under OZ 1.0, and the OBBBA calls for the nomination and designation of new opportunity zones under OZ 2.0 beginning July 1, 2026, and again every ten-year period thereafter. The opportunity zones designated under OZ 1.0 will remain in effect until December 31, 2026, and on January 1, 2027, and every ten-year period thereafter, the newly designated opportunity zones under OZ 2.0. will take effect.
A qualified opportunity fund (“Qualified Opportunity Fund”) is generally defined as an investment vehicle that is taxed as a corporation or partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and organized to invest in, and at least 90% of its assets consist of, qualified opportunity zone property (the “90% Asset Test”). A Qualified Opportunity Fund must determine whether it meets the 90% Asset Test on each of (i) the last day of the first six-month period of its taxable year, and (ii) the last day of its taxable year (each a “Test Date”).
We initially qualified as a Qualified Opportunity Fund beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2020, and we currently intend to manage our affairs so that we continue to meet the requirements for classification as a Qualified Opportunity Fund pursuant to Section 1400Z-2 of the Code and the related regulations issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) and U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) on December 19, 2019, together with the correcting amendments issued on April 6, 2020, additional relief issued on January 13, 2021 and further correcting amendments issued on August 5, 2021 (collectively the “Opportunity Zone Regulations”).
The OBBBA created a new category of qualified opportunity fund called the qualified rural opportunity fund (“Qualified Rural Opportunity Fund” and, together with Qualified Opportunity Funds, “QOFs”) which is an investment vehicle that is taxed as a corporation or partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and organized to invest in, and at least 90% of its assets consist of, qualified opportunity zone property located in rural areas. A “rural area” is a city or town (and certain contiguous and adjacent areas) that has a population of 50,000 inhabitants or less.
On September 30, 2025, the Treasury and IRS issued guidance which identified more than 3,300 rural areas within the qualified opportunity zones already designated under OZ 1.0, however, transitional and new regulations for OZ 2.0 have yet to be issued
The Opportunity Zone Regulations allow a QOF to apply the 90% Asset Test without taking into account any investments received in the 6-month period preceding the Test Date, provided those investments are (i) received (a) solely in exchange for stock by a QOF that is a corporation, or (b) as a contribution by a QOF that is a partnership, and (ii) held continuously from the fifth business day after the exchange or contribution, as applicable, through the Test Date in cash, cash equivalents or debt instruments with a term of 18 months or less.
Subject to a one-time six-month cure period, for each month following a Test Date in which a qualified opportunity fund fails to meet the 90% Asset Test it will incur a penalty equal to (a) the excess of 90% of the fund’s aggregate assets over the aggregate amount of qualified opportunity zone property held by the fund, multiplied by (b) the short-term federal interest rate plus 3%. However, notwithstanding a qualified opportunity fund’s failure to meet the 90% Asset Test, no penalty will be imposed if the fund demonstrates that its failure is due to reasonable cause.
An eligible investor may defer recognition of capital gains (short-term or long-term) resulting from the sale or exchange of capital assets (or business assets the gain on the sale of which is treated as a capital gain) with an unrelated person by reinvesting those gains into a QOF within a period of 180 days generally beginning on the date of the sale or exchange (the “Deferred Capital Gains”). The 180-day period generally begins on the day on which the gains would be recognized for U.S. federal income tax purposes had they not been reinvested into a QOF. Under OZ 1.0 Deferred Capital Gains are recognized on the earlier of (i) December 31, 2026, or (ii) the date on which an inclusion event occurs. Under OZ 2.0 Deferred Capital Gains are recognized on the earlier of the date (i) which is five years after their reinvestment into a QOF, or (ii) on which an inclusion event occurs.
All individuals and entities that recognize capital gains for U.S. federal income tax purposes are eligible to elect to defer their capital gains by investing in a QOF within the applicable 180-day period. This includes natural persons as well as entities such as corporations, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), partnerships and other pass-through entities (including, certain common trust funds, qualified settlement funds, and disputed ownership funds). Eligible investors must make deferral elections on Form 8949,Sales and Other Dispositions of Capital Assets, which will need to be attached to their U.S. federal income tax returns for the taxable year in which the capital gain would have been recognized had it not been deferred. In addition, Form 8997,Initial and Annual Statement of Qualified Opportunity Fund (QOF) Investments (“Form 8997”), requires eligible investors holding a QOF investment at any point during the tax year to report: (i) QOF investment holdings at the beginning and end of the tax year; (ii) current tax year capital gains deferred by investing in a QOF; and (iii) QOF investments disposed of during the tax year. Eligible investors who have not properly followed the instructions for Form 8997 may receive a Letter 6502,Reporting Qualified Opportunity Fund (QOF) Investments (“Letter 6502”), or a Letter 6503,Annual Reporting of Qualified Opportunity Fund (QOF) Investments (“Letter 6503”), from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) if the IRS is missing information, the investor entered invalid information, or the requirements to maintain a qualifying investment have not been followed. Eligible investors who receive a Letter 6502 or a Letter 6503 may need to file an amended return or an administrative adjustment request with a properly completed Form 8997.
Under OZ 1.0 an eligible investor may elect to increase the tax basis with respect to its QOF investment interest to the fair market value of the investment interest on the date on which it is sold or exchanged, and similarly may elect to exclude from income gains from sales of non-inventory assets by the QOF, if the investor holds the QOF investment interest for a period of ten years or more prior to the date of sale or exchange, up to December 31, 2047. Provided these requirements are met, for U.S. federal income tax purposes an eligible investor will not be required to pay federal income tax on a sale of its QOF investment interest. This benefit will not be available with respect to sales or exchanges after December 31, 2047.
Our Investments
As of the date of this Form 10-K, our investment portfolio consisted of the following commercial and mixed-use properties:
1991 Main Street – Sarasota, Florida (“Aster & Links”) – 1991 Main Street (“1991 Main” or “Aster & Links”) is a 5.13-acre mixed-use luxury development site in downtown Sarasota, Florida, which we acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $20.7 million, inclusive of transaction costs. In August 2023, we acquired an adjacent parcel that was previously subject to a ground lease for a purchase price of $4.9 million, inclusive of transaction costs. In July 2024, we also completed the redevelopment of 1900 Fruitville Road, a nearby 1.2-acre site which we acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $4.7 million, inclusive of transaction costs, to provide additional non-exclusive parking for Aster & Links’ retail tenants, including Sprouts Farmers Market® (“Sprouts”).
During the year ended December 31, 2024, we substantially completed construction and began leasing at Aster & Links. The property comprises two distinct ten-story buildings with a total of 424 luxury residential units, including a mix of one-, two-, three-, and four-bedroom apartments, townhome-style penthouse residences, and six guest suites. The development also includes approximately 51,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space and more than 900 garage and surface-level parking spaces designed to accommodate both residents and retail customers.
In September 2025, we completed an approximately $204.1 million post-construction financing for Aster & Links, the proceeds of which were used to retire existing construction debt and will provide additional liquidity to support lease-up and stabilization. We expect the refinancing to generate annual interest savings of several million dollars over the term of the loans. See “—Our Investments—1991 Main Street**–Sarasota Florida (“Aster & Links”)—Aster & Links Mortgage and Mezzanine Loans” below for a more detailed discussion of the refinancing.
Aster & Links features an extensive suite of resident amenities, including a clubroom, fitness center, center courtyards with heated saltwater pools and rooftop amenities such as a community room, a private dining area for events, and outdoor grills and seating. Each building contains its own leasing office to support new residents. As of March 8, 2026, Aster & Links was greater than 67% leased.
Sprouts occupies approximately 23,000 square feet of retail space at Aster & Links, and, together with other curated retail tenants, enhances the project’s walkability and community activation. Situated in downtown Sarasota, at the intersection of Main Street and Links Avenue, Aster & Links is located in a high foot traffic area next to a number of popular retail establishments. Sarasota’s metro area economy has historically been the largest of the southwest Florida markets and has experienced strong gains in jobs, population, and home values over the past few years. We believe that Aster & Links is well-positioned to be a premier residential and retail destination in the heart of what will continue to be a vibrant city.
Aster & Links Mortgage and Mezzanine Loans
On September 29, 2025, we, through our indirect majority-owned subsidiaries, BPOZ 1991 Main, LLC (“BPOZ 1991 Main”), and BP Mezz 1991 Main, LLC, the holding company for BPOZ 1991 Main (“BP Mezz 1991 Main” and, together with BPOZ 1991 Main, the “Aster & Links Borrowers”), entered into a variable-rate mortgage loan agreement (the “Aster & Links Mortgage Loan Agreement”) and variable-rate mezzanine loan agreement (the “Aster & Links Mezzanine Loan Agreement” and, together with the Aster & Links Mortgage Loan Agreement, and all other agreements and instruments executed by the Aster & Links Borrowers or the Company in connection therewith, the “Aster & Links Loan Agreements”) with SM Finance III LLC (the “SMF”), for up to approximately $204.1 million in aggregate principal amount (the “Aster & Links Loans” or “Aster & Links Refinance Transactions”), of which a total of approximately $172.8 million was advanced at the closing (the “Initial Advance”).

We used approximately $165.8 million of the proceeds from the Initial Advance to extinguish our existing variable-rate construction loan with Bank OZK and mezzanine loan with Southern Realty Trust Holdings, LLC. The remaining proceeds from the Initial Advance and any proceeds from additional advances may be used to fund expenses that we incur or advance in connection with leasing the remaining non-residential space at Aster & Links, as well as for certain capital expenditures, and, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Aster & Links Loan Agreements, to fund up to an aggregate of $9.0 million in earnouts, and up to an aggregate of $9.0 million in approved debt service and carry expenses.

In addition, we have entered into a series of guaranty agreements in favor of SMF, whereby the Company, as guarantor, has guaranteed payment and performance of certain of the Aster & Links Borrowers’ obligations under the Aster & Links Loan Agreements.

497-501 Middle Turnpike and Cedar Swamp Road –Storrs, Connecticut – 497-501 Middle Turnpike (“497-501 Middle”) is an approximately 60.0-acre site, consisting of approximately 30 acres of former golf course and approximately 30 acres of wetlands, some of which includes walking trails. On June 28, 2022, through an indirect majority-owned subsidiary, we acquired a 70.2% controlling interest (the “CMC Interest”) in CMC Storrs SPV, LLC (“CMC”), the holding company for 497-501 Middle, for an initial capital contribution of $3.8 million. As part of the transaction two unaffiliated joint venture partners (the “CMC JV Partners”) were deemed to have made initial capital contributions to CMC. Following our acquisition of the CMC Interest, we discovered that one of the CMC JV Partners had misappropriated cash from the other’s cash account. Accordingly, the CMC JV Partner forfeited $1.0 million, or 29.8%, of their noncontrolling interest in CMC on March 24, 2023. As a result of the forfeiture, we indirectly own a 100% controlling interest in CMC.
On March 9, 2026, in accordance with the terms set forth in CMC’s Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement, we, through CMC, entered into a letter agreement (the “CMC Letter Agreement”) to redeem the remaining non-controlling equity interest held by the sole CMC JV Partner, for an aggregate amount of $1.6 million representing the entities original investment together with all accrued and unpaid preferred returns thereon through the date of the CMC Letter Agreement.
We currently anticipate 497-501 Middle will be developed into an approximately 261-apartment home community and an adjacent single-family home, with amenities that will include a leasing office, clubroom with a chef’s kitchen, fitness center, game room, study/lounge area, meeting rooms, and an outside AstroTurf meadow.
Cedar Swamp Road (“Cedar Swamp Road”) is a 1.1-acre site immediately adjacent to 497-501 Middle, which we acquired for a purchase price of $0.3 million, inclusive of transaction costs. We currently anticipate adding Cedar Swamp Road to the 497-501 Middle development.
497-501 Middle and Cedar Swamp Road are located less than a mile from the main college campus at the University of Connecticut (“UConn”) in Storrs, Connecticut (“Storrs”), approximately 30 minutes from Hartford, Connecticut, and 90 minutes from Boston, Massachusetts. UConn ranked 32nd among “Top Public Schools” nationally in the 2025 U.S. New & World Report (“U.S. News”) collegiate rankings, and, based on a fact sheet published by UConn, over 20,056 undergraduate students attended college at the Storrs campus in Fall 2024, with more than a third of those students living off campus.
900 8th Avenue South – Nashville, Tennessee – 900 8th Avenue South (“900 8th Avenue South”) is a 3.2-acre land assemblage, which we acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $19.7 million, inclusive of transaction costs.
On June 26, 2024, we, through our indirect majority-owned subsidiary, 900 Eighth LP (“900 Eighth”), entered into a fixed-rate loan for $10.0 million in principal amount with KHRE SMA Funding, LLC, which is secured by 900 8th Avenue South (the “900 8th Land Loan”).

Joint Venture and Other Co-Ownership Arrangements
Each of our assets has either an affiliate of our Sponsor or Manager, such as Belpointe SP, LLC (“Belpointe SP”), or their respective affiliates (together with Belpointe SP, the “Belpointe SP Group”), or an independent third party, or any combination of the foregoing, as the sponsor or co-sponsor, general partner or co-general partner, manager or co-manager, developer or co-developer of the investment (each an “Investment Partner”), and our role, in general, is as a passive investor.
Entering into joint venture investments aligns our interests with the interests of our Investment Partner for the benefit of the holders of our Class A units by leveraging of our capital resources and our Investment Partner’s extensive industry relationships and significant acquisition, development and management expertise to: (i) achieve potentially greater returns on our invested capital; (ii) diversify our access to investment opportunities; and (iii) promote our brand and potentially increase our market share.
Borrowing Policy
We employ leverage in order to provide more funds available for investment. Leverage allows us to make more investments than would otherwise be possible, resulting in a broader portfolio. We believe that careful use of conservatively structured leverage helps us to achieve our diversification goals and potentially enhance the returns on our investments. We also believe that our Sponsor’s ability to obtain both competitive financing and its relationships with top-tier financial institutions will allow our Manager to access and successfully employ competitively priced borrowing.
Our targeted aggregate property-level leverage, excluding any debt at the Company level or on assets under development or redevelopment, after we have acquired a substantial portfolio of stabilized commercial real estate, is between 50-70% of the greater of the cost (before deducting depreciation or other non-cash reserves) or the fair market value of our assets. During the period when we are acquiring, developing and redeveloping our investments, we may employ greater leverage on individual assets. An example of property-level leverage is a mortgage loan secured by an individual property or portfolio of properties incurred or assumed in connection with our acquisition of such property or portfolio of properties. An example of debt at the Company level is a line of credit obtained by us or our Operating Companies.
Our Manager may from time to time modify our leverage policy in its discretion in light of then-current economic conditions, relative costs of debt and equity capital, market values of our assets, general conditions in the market for debt and equity securities, growth and acquisition opportunities or other factors. For an overview of our borrowings, see Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources.”
Disposition Policies
The period that we will hold our investments will vary depending on a number of factors, including the type of investment, interest rates and economic and market conditions. Our Manager’s investment committee will develop a well-defined exit strategy for each investment we make and will periodically perform a hold-sell analysis to determine the optimal holding period for generating strong returns. As each of our investments reach what we believe to be its maximum value we will consider disposing of the investment and may do so for the purpose of either distributing the net sale proceeds to holders of our Class A units or investing the proceeds in other investments that we believe may produce a higher overall future return. However, we may sell any or all of our investments before or after their anticipated holding period if, in the judgment of our Manager’s investment committee, selling the investment is in our best interest.
The determination of when a particular investment should be sold or otherwise disposed of will be made after consideration of all relevant factors, including prevailing and projected economic and market conditions, whether the value of the investment is anticipated to change substantially, whether we could apply the proceeds from the sale to make other investments consistent with our investment objectives and strategy, whether disposition of the investment would allow us to increase cash flow, and whether the sale of the investment would impact our intended qualification as a publicly traded partnership and QOF.
Taxation of the Company
We have been treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes since our tax year ended December 31, 2020. We currently intend to manage our affairs so that we continue to meet the requirements for classification as a partnership. If our Manager determines that it is no longer in our best interests to continue as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, our Manager may elect to treat us as an association or as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal (and applicable state) income tax purposes. If we elect to be taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal (and applicable state) income tax purposes, we may also elect to qualify and be taxed as a REIT.
Generally, an entity that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes is not a taxable entity and incurs no U.S. federal income tax liability. Rather, each partner is required to take into account its allocable share of items of income, gain, loss and deduction of the partnership in determining its U.S. federal income tax liability, regardless of whether cash distributions are made. Distributions of cash by a partnership to a partner are not taxable unless the amount of cash distributed to a partner is in excess of the partner’s adjusted basis in its partnership interest.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless an exception applies, an entity that would otherwise be classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes may nevertheless be taxable as a corporation if it is a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Section 7704 the Code. An entity that would otherwise be classified as a partnership is a publicly traded partnership within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code if its interests are (i) traded on an established securities market, or (ii) readily tradable on a secondary market or the substantial equivalent thereof. Our Class A units are listed on the NYSE American under the symbol “OZ.” There is, however, an exception to taxation as a corporation which is available if at least 90% of a partnership’s gross income for every taxable year consists of “qualifying income” and the partnership is not required to register under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Qualifying Income Exception”). Qualifying income includes certain interest income (other than from a financial business), dividends, real property rents, gains from the sale or other disposition of real property and any gain from the sale or disposition of a capital asset or other property held for the production of income that otherwise constitutes qualifying income. We intend to continue to manage our affairs so that we meet the Qualifying Income Exception in each taxable year and so that neither we nor any of our subsidiaries are required to register under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
Government Regulation
Our operations are subject, in certain instances, to supervision and regulation by federal, state and local governmental authorities, and may be subject to various laws, regulations and judicial and administrative decisions imposing various requirements and restrictions, including, among others, (i) federal and state securities laws and regulations, (ii) federal, state and local tax laws and regulations, (iii) state and local laws relating to real property, (iv) federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, and (v) various laws relating to housing, including rent control and stabilization laws, the Fair Housing Amendment Act of 1988 and Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, among others.
Compliance with the federal, state and local laws is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, assets or results of operations, and we do not expect to incur material expenditures to comply with the laws and regulations to which we are subject.
Competition
We face competition from various entities for investment opportunities, including other QOFs, REITs, Delaware statutory trusts, pension funds, insurance companies, private equity and other alternative investment funds and companies, partnerships and developers. In addition to third-party competitors, we may compete for investment opportunities with other programs sponsored by our Sponsor and its affiliates, especially those with investment strategies similar to our own.
Most of our current and potential competitors have significantly more financial, technical, marketing and other resources than we do. Larger competitors may also enjoy significant advantages that result from, among other things, a lower cost of capital and enhanced operating efficiencies. In addition, the number of entities and the amount of funds competing for investment opportunities may increase over time. Any such increase would result in a greater demand for investment opportunities and could result in our acquiring assets and investments at higher prices or using less than ideal capital structures.
In the face of such competition, we expect to greatly benefit from our Manager’s access to our Sponsor’s investment and operating platforms, including without limitation, our Sponsor’s highly experienced management team with significant real estate and asset management expertise, extensive market knowledge and network of industry relationships, which we believe provides us with our own competitive advantage and helps us source, evaluate and compete for investment opportunities.
Human Capital
We are externally managed and currently have no employees or intention of having any employees. We rely on our Manager to manage our day-to-day operations, implement our investment objectives and investment strategy and perform certain services for us pursuant to the Management Agreement. These services are provided by individuals who are employees of our Sponsor or one or more of its affiliates. Our executive officers also serve as officers of our Sponsor and certain of its affiliates.
We, our Operating Companies, our Manager, our Sponsor and certain of our Sponsor’s subsidiaries, associates and affiliates (collectively, the “Sponsor Group”) are party to an Amended and Restated Services and Cost Sharing Agreement (the “Services and Cost Sharing Agreement”) pursuant to which the Sponsor Group provides our Manager with access to portfolio management, asset valuation, risk management and asset management services, as well as administration services addressing legal, compliance, investor relations and information technologies necessary for the performance by our Manager of its duties under the Management Agreement. Pursuant to the Management Agreement, our Manager or one or more of its affiliates is entitled to receive expense reimbursements and a quarterly management fee. Pursuant to the Services and Cost Sharing Agreement, the Sponsor Group is entitled to receive expense reimbursements and our Manager’s allocable share of employment costs incurred by the Sponsor Group.
