Why Landlords Are Using Ground Leases to Unlock Value

In 2026, ground leases are quietly becoming a favorite tool for landlords and developers. Lucas and Luna break down the mechanics, the numbers, and the risks behind this century-old structure, using the real-world example of a Manhattan land parcel to illustrate how separating land from building can unlock capital, slash upfront costs, and reshape who actually controls prime real estate. They walk through a typical ground lease deal, explain why institutions love them, and why your neighborhood mall might be sitting on a ground lease without you knowing it. It's a ten-minute masterclass in one of real estate's most underappreciated financial instruments. #GroundLeases #RealEstate #LandValue #CommercialRealEstate #PropertyInvestment #ManhattanRealEstate #InstitutionalInvestors #LeaseStructures #CRE #RealEstateFinance #PropertyDevelopment #LandRights #Business #Finance #Investing #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Podcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
