In new regulatory guidance issued on March 21, 2025 (the “Interim Final Rule”), the U.S. Department of Treasury (FinCEN) limits the Corporate Transparency Act (“CTA”) solely to foreign entities previously defined as “foreign reporting companies” and non-U.S. persons who are beneficial owners of such entities. In restricting the CTA’s scope to foreign entities and non-U.S. persons, the Interim Final Rule also explicitly exempts any “domestic entity” and any “U.S. person” (as defined under the Internal Revenue Code).

New York City real estate owners and developers have long asked Herrick about transferring unused development rights from an individual landmark to a site across the street, through a 74-79 Special Permit issued by the City Planning Commission (CPC). While these transfers have historically been rare due to a time-consuming, uncertain approval process, with the recent changes to the City’s zoning regulations – specifically, the "City of Yes for Housing Opportunity" (COY) – these transfers have become much easier and more flexible. Listen as?Robert Huberman?and?Michael Smith?discuss the removal of some of the red tape and restrictions as wells as the streamlined process and geographic flexibility of the COY changes.? #HerrickDoesThat #RealEstateDevelopment #CityofYes #COY Click here to listen: https://lnkd.in/ebd72Czz
