Deals in Motion: Where Capital Is Flowing Across Opportunity Zones
Northern California’s Opportunity Zone markets are entering a new phase defined by repricing, selective capital deployment and a growing emphasis on repositioning existing assets. From discounted office acquisitions in SoMa to mixed use and housing driven projects in Bayview and Mission corridors, investors are taking a more targeted approach to where and how they deploy capital. While the upcoming 2026 tax milestone is influencing timing, the bigger story is how dealmakers are adapting to today’s market realities. |
