Restrictions on Foreign Investment in U.S. Real Estate

Foreign investment is a major source of capital for U.S. commercial real estate, leading to job creation and economic growth for communities throughout our nation. Some policy measures at the national and state level have sought to restrict, sometimes successfully, foreign investment in U.S. real estate to protect the nation’s economic, military, and civil interests.    

Position

While The Roundtable supports efforts to protect the nation’s economic, military, or civil security and the integrity of commercial real estate investments, we have concerns about rules that may hinder foreign investment in U.S. real estate by legitimate enterprises and capital formation by law-abiding entities. 

Background

National programs and laws related to foreign investment include:

  • CFIUS: The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) has jurisdiction over certain real estate transactions involving the purchase, lease, or concession to a foreign person in the United States.
  • Sovereign Wealth Funds: In July 2023, Senate Finance Chairman Ron Wyden introduced legislation that would repeal tax rules applicable to foreign governments and their investment arms (“sovereign wealth funds”) if that government has more than $100 billion invested globally, and does not qualify for an exception. The Roundtable opposes this legislation.
  • Taxation of Foreign Investment in U.S. Real Estate: The Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act (FIRPTA) is a discriminatory tax regime that imposes a tax on foreign persons disposing of U.S. real estate assets. Congress should dramatically scale back, or repeal FIRPTA altogether. It serves no legitimate policy purpose and reduces capital available for creating jobs, improving U.S. properties, and strengthening U.S. infrastructure. Further, Congress should avoid disrupting long-standing tax laws that exempt foreign governments from tax on their passive real estate investments in the U.S. These rules are grounded in basic principles of sovereign immunity. Sovereign wealth funds’ investments in U.S. real estate support jobs, housing, and economic growth. 
  • EB-5 visa program: The EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act set new program requirements to safeguard national security, deter fraud, and promote urban and rural development with EB-5 financing provided by overseas investors. The Roundtable strongly supported the 2022 reinstatement and major overhaul of the EB-5 investment visa program. 
  • State law — The Roundtable is analyzing the repercussions of a Florida bill that imposes restrictions on persons or entities from certain foreign countries of concern, including prohibitions on the ownership of agricultural land and certain real property. Other states are considering similar efforts.

Restoring Liquidity in CRE Markets and Protecting Capital Formation

Over $1.5 trillion of commercial real estate loans are maturing in 2023, 2024, and 2025, the bulk of which were financed when base rates were near zero. They now require refinancing in an environment where rates are much higher and commercial real estate markets face economic pressures from employees’ lingering reluctance to return to the office and new needs for space in the post-pandemic landscape. To address this wave of maturing commercial real estate debt, market liquidity must be restored and borrowers’ ability to raise capital in this challenging economic environment must be preserved.

Halting Pro-Cyclical Policy Measures and Increases in Regulatory Capital

In the wake of the U.S. banking turmoil of March 2023, federal bank regulators are considering an increase to capital requirements for the nation's largest banks —those with $100 billion or more in assets—by as much as 20%. This could significantly affect liquidity for commercial real estate transactions, impact asset values, and influence economic growth. The proposed changes to large bank capital requirements would implement the final components of international banking regulations known as the “Basel III endgame.”

Restrictions on Foreign Investment in U.S. Real Estate

Foreign investment is a major source of capital for U.S. commercial real estate, leading to job creation and economic growth for communities throughout our nation. Some policy measures at the national and state level have sought to restrict, sometimes successfully, foreign investment in U.S. real estate to protect the nation’s economic, military, and civil interests.

Beneficial Ownership & the Corporate Transparency Act

A beneficial owner refers to an individual who owns at least 25% of a company or enough to exert significant control over it. Beginning in January 2024, the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) will require businesses to disclose information on their beneficial owners under regulations issued by the Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). The CTA aims to prevent and combat money laundering, terrorist financing, corruption, tax fraud, and other illicit activity.

Commercial Insurance Coverage: Pandemic Risks & Natural Catastrophes

The evolving threats and crises of today's world, primarily COVID-19 and the increasing occurrences of natural disasters, has highlighted the lack of and need for commercial real estate insurance coverage. Inadequate coverage will lead to economic uncertainty, harm stakeholders, and undermine the growth of communities.

In many lines of commercial insurance, pandemic-related coverage has been withdrawn or restricted going forward. Additionally, risks from natural disasters like floods, hurricanes, wildfires, hail, tornadoes, and drought cost the U.S. billions of dollars each year.

SAFE Banking Act: Financial Services for Legal Cannabis-Related Businesses (CRBs)

Legal cannabis-related businesses (CRBs) face challenges obtaining bank accounts, and commercial property owners face legal challenges of taking on CRB tenants without safe harbor protections.

Federal and state law differences on cannabis policy leave banks and real estate providers trapped between their mission to serve lawful businesses in local communities—and the threat of federal enforcement action.
