- Exchange to realize geographic diversity in investment property.
- Exchange from multiple apartment properties to achieve asset class diversification with a portfolio of institutional quality office, industrial, commercial, and apartment properties.
- Exchange from a fully depreciated property to a property with a new depreciation schedule.
