Today, Accruit Associate General Counsel Jordan Born joins scholars, practitioners and other industry professionals at the 16th Kratovil Conference on Real Estate Law & Practice at The John Marshall Law School to discuss potential changes in land use to meet the needs of the commercial real estate industry.
From the conference titled, An Inflection Point in Land Development? Private & Public Conditions Considered:
Privately created restrictions on use and affirmative responsibilities—those covenants running with the land—structure condominiums and homeowner associations, retail shopping centers, and other real property in such a way that the rights and duties of owners and users stand in the way of the future needs of society. Likewise in the public sector, established land development conditions—exactions, impact fees, in-lieu fees—that may have once made sense may no longer support today's land-use goals and policies.

In this series of blogs, I provide a brief overview of the most common forms and business entities available under state law for purposes of owning real estate. These summaries do not seek to account for every similarity or difference between forms and business entities, but rather focus on what will probably be the most salient factors when comparing one entity against another.
The descriptions of these entities are organized according to their functional characteristics, such as formation, management and conduct of business, firm property, ownership interests, dissociation of owners, and dissolution of the firm. This allows the reader to compare and contrast the alternatives offered by the various forms.
Tax Law and Business Law Considerations of Real Estate Entities
Investors can choose from several different organizational forms for purposes of purchasing real estate. Most organizational entities are separate and apart from the assets and liabilities of any other entity or owner. The choice of entities in owning real estate is usually dependent upon a combination of business law and tax factors.
