1031 Exchanges & New Development Timing

Calendar risk, identification windows, and practical guardrails.

Pairing a 1031 clock with new development is powerful—and unforgiving. Identification and closing deadlines do not care about construction delays or “the unit you loved just went out.”

Guardrails

  • Identify backup properties early—including NYS options if NYC inventory is thin.
  • Confirm whether the replacement property can close inside your window.
  • Coordinate QI, attorney, and lender before you fall in love with a rendering.
  • Tax outcomes are for your CPA/tax counsel; we help with real estate logistics and inventory.
