We understand what ground leases are worth — it is all we do. Every valuation is grounded in thousands of comparable transactions, and we walk you through exactly how we arrived at our number.

Once your transaction closes, you receive a single lump-sum payment. Investing those proceeds may provide stronger long-term growth than accumulating monthly rent — and it puts the choice in your hands.

In many transactions, sale proceeds may qualify for capital-gains treatment rather than ordinary income rates — and your sale may be eligible for a 1031 exchange, allowing tax to be deferred entirely. Every situation is different: consult your tax advisor, and see our 1031 Exchange page for an introduction.

Through a lease transaction with Landmark you typically grant only an easement and assign the lease rights to us. You retain ownership of your land — so you can hold it, develop around the site, or sell it, on your own timeline.
