When do I Need to Finish Construction on my 1031 Exchange Property?

Build-to-suit exchanges offer an excellent opportunity for taxpayers to improve their replacement properties before acquiring them in a 1031 exchange transaction. But there are serious time constraints on any 1031 exchange that you need to be aware of. In this article, we are going to explain when you can begin construction on your 1031 exchange property.

Time Constraints of a Build-to-Suit 1031 Exchange

A build-to-suit exchange is restricted by the same timelines as any other 1031 exchange. Specifically, you only have 180 days total to complete your entire exchange. Any construction improvements made to the property must be completed within that 180 day time period. It’s important to keep that in mind when you’re planning your exchange. You’re not going to be able to build a massive skyscraper in that timeframe, but you can make smaller improvements that will benefit your property. Make sure you get all of your contractors lined up before you begin the process so you can rest assured that the work will be completed on time.
