Opportunity Zone Investments: Fund II Opportunity Zone From Urban Catalyst

Opportunity Zone Fund II (“Fund II) is a private equity real estate development fund focused on ground up development in downtown San Jose, California. Fund II has a diversified portfolio of asset classes including multifamily, hospitality and senior living. Fund II includes four projects: Icon (multifamily), Echo (multifamily), Gifford (senior living) and Keystone (hotel - Marriott Towneplace Suites). Fund II is raising $200 million for these projects. The Marriott hotel (Keystone) is under construction and anticipates opening in Q2 2025. Urban Catayst owns all of the land for these projects and has approvals to start construction.

To receive the tax benefits associated with opportunity zone funds, an investor must invest capital gains. Investors have 180 days to invest into a qualified opportunity zone fund after the date of their initial capital gains event.
