Cantor Silverstein
Overview
Cantor Silverstein Opportunity Zone Trust is a joint venture between Cantor Fitzgerald and Silverstein Properties, structured as a non-traded Opportunity Zone REIT focused on ground-up development in qualified zones. It pairs Silverstein's marquee development expertise with Cantor's capital-markets distribution—a combination that gives the vehicle unusual credibility for a QOZ program—though current AUM is not publicly disclosed. The structure suits investors seeking capital-gains deferral and step-up benefits through institutional development rather than stabilized cash flow.
