Opportunity Zones are now a permanent part of the tax code and, beginning January 1, 2027, give investors a lasting tool to defer, reduce, and eliminate capital gains taxes. Understanding what changed from OZ 1.0, which gains are eligible now, and how the tax benefit timeline works in practice is essential for investors planning for 2027, as is a clear diligence framework for evaluating both OZ fund managers and the underlying asset class. Student housing offers a compelling case study, as university-adjacent locations naturally align with Opportunity Zone geography.
