ON THE HORIZON

As the demand for streaming services continues to increase, the request for film and television studio space is following suit. Over the last few years, we have seen tremendous growth for clients seeking guidance on developing and operating film studios and sound stages. From managing ancillary and outsourced income to structuring agreements and managing financials, these clients are seeking a high-level and personalized strategy to grow their business operations. Our team provides well-rounded support for studio owners in all stages of their real estate transactions, including land acquisition, construction monitoring, tax structuring, tax credits and incentives and assisting with various considerations around the ancillary business offerings.

TRANSACTION SPOTLIGHT

Over the last year, we were given the opportunity to work alongside a multigenerational real estate family that has substantial real estate holdings with a concentration in mixed-used properties. As part of the family’s onboarding, we reviewed their succession and estate plans and effectively developed a tax strategy that enabled their family to successfully restructure their estate plan. Our team identified several opportunities within the property holding entities to accelerate depreciation by utilizing cost segregation studies and fixed-asset studies. Our dedicated team helped the family to greatly reduce their tax burden, both currently and prospectively, and provided them with the opportunity to better manage their cash flow, while also enabling an effective transfer of the business to their younger generations.
