The Mother of all Tax Loopholes & Zeckendorf Bros. Downtown Funk


Listen Later

This week, we dive deep into one of the most extraordinary tax loopholes that the CRE market has ever witnessed: the Traveling HFC, a Texas property-tax absolving vehicle that's been adopted en masse by distressed syndicators, agency lenders and a cottage industry of consultants, nonprofits and attorneys. The most punitive version of a bill designed to torpedo it flew through the Texas Senate, and now the industry is grappling with a very rude and abrupt end to a too-good-to-be-true party. We're joined by Texas' own Barrett Linburg to discuss the HFC saga, the gold rush it set off and what the fallout could mean for the long-term health of affordable housing in the state. Hiten and Will then discuss the Zeckendorf Brothers' latest big swing: an ultra-luxury condo at 80 Clarkson Street that has reportedly scored a half-billion dollars in sales without any fanfare – we unpack the players and lenders behind this quiet giant.
