Our premier vertical · Arcus OZ Group

Opportunity Zones are now permanent. The next map arrives January 1, 2027.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act made the Opportunity Zone incentive a permanent part of the tax code, with rolling five-year deferral, a 10% basis step-up (30% in rural zones) and the 10-year exclusion. Arcus OZ Group is active today and leads the platform: it helps owners, developers and investors find, underwrite, capitalize and hold qualifying real estate.

Led by Founder and CEO Todd Vitzthum, co-founder of OZ Listings, a marketplace for Opportunity Zone investments.
