What is a 721 UPREIT Exchange?

A 721 Exchange allows you to contribute your real estate (or DST interests) into a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) in exchange for Operating Partnership (OP) units. These units may later convert into REIT shares—unlocking:

  • Continued tax deferral

  • Monthly income potential

  • Estate planning benefits

Ideal for high-net-worth individuals seeking to transition from active real estate management to passive, liquid investments.

How 721 UPREIT Exchange Works: 3 Simple Steps

At each step, you maintain tax deferral until a full exit is made.

01
Complete a 1031 exchange into a Delaware Statutory Trust (DST)
02
After holding the DST for ~2 years, convert it into OP Units via a REIT’s Fair Market Value option
03
After holding the OP Units for 1 year, redeem them for REIT shares or cash

Why Choose a DST Over Direct Replacements?

Speed & Certainty vs. direct property closings

No Management Hassles vs. ongoing landlord duties

Diversification vs. single-asset concentration

Fixed Financing Terms vs. market-dependent mortgages

Why Consider a 721 Exchange?

Defer Capital Gains & Depreciation Recapture

Access Institutional-Quality REIT Portfolios

Receive Monthly Income

Gain Liquidity via REIT Shares

Simplify Estate Planning with Step-Up in Basis

Escape Active Property Management
