Risk Factors

Cohen & Steers Income Opportunities REIT, Inc. (“CNSREIT”) is a newly organized corporation formed to invest primarily in high quality, income-focused, stabilized assets within the United States. This investment involves a high degree of risk. You should purchase these securities only if you can afford the complete loss of your investment. You should read the prospectus carefully for a description of the risks associated with an investment in CNSREIT. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

• We have a limited operating history, and there is no assurance that we will achieve our investment objectives.
• Because this is a “blind pool” offering, you will not have the opportunity to evaluate our future investments before we make them.
• Since there is no public trading market for shares of our common stock, repurchase of shares by us will likely be the only way to dispose of your shares. Our share repurchase plan will provide stockholders with the opportunity to request that we repurchase their shares on a monthly basis, but we are not obligated to repurchase any shares and may choose to repurchase only some, or even none, of the shares that have been requested to be repurchased in any particular month in our sole discretion. In addition, repurchases will be subject to available liquidity and other significant restrictions. Further, our board of directors may make exceptions to, modify or suspend our share repurchase plan if, in its reasonable judgment, it deems such action to be in our best interest and the best interest of our stockholders, such as when repurchase requests would place an undue burden on our liquidity, adversely affect our operations or risk having an adverse impact on us that would outweigh the benefit of repurchasing our shares. Our board of directors cannot terminate our share repurchase plan absent a liquidity event that results in our stockholders receiving cash or securities listed on a national securities exchange or where otherwise required by law. As a result, our shares should be considered as having only limited liquidity and at times may be illiquid.
• We are a perpetual-life REIT. While we may consider a liquidity event at any time in the future, we are not obligated by our charter or otherwise to effect a liquidity event at any time.
• We cannot guarantee that we will make distributions, and, if we do, we may fund such distributions from sources other than cash flow from operations, including, without limitation, the sale of or repayments under our assets, borrowings, return of capital or offering proceeds (including from sales of our common stock or Operating Partnership units to the Special Limited Partner (each term as defined in the prospectus), and distributions may also be funded at least in part, indirectly, due to expenses paid on our behalf by the Advisor pursuant to the Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement, which may be subject to reimbursement to the Advisor, and other temporary waivers or expense reimbursements to the Advisor or its affiliates, that may be subject to reimbursement to the Advisor or its affiliates. We have no limits on the amounts we may pay from such sources.
• The purchase and repurchase price for shares of our common stock are generally be based on our prior month’s net asset value (“NAV“) and are not based on any public trading market. While there will be independent valuations of our properties from time to time, the valuation of properties is inherently subjective and our NAV may not accurately reflect the actual price at which our properties could be liquidated on any given day.
• We have no employees and are dependent on the Cohen & Steers Capital Management, Inc. (the “Adviser”) to conduct our operations. The Adviser will face conflicts of interest as a result of, among other things, the allocation of investment opportunities among us and other Cohen & Steers Accounts (as defined in CNSREIT’s prospectus), the allocation of time of its investment professionals and the fees that we will pay to the Adviser.
• Principal and interest payments on any borrowings will reduce the amount of funds available for distribution or investment in additional real estate assets.
• There are limits on the ownership and transferability of our shares.
• This is a “best efforts” offering. If we are not able to raise a substantial amount of capital in the near term, our ability to achieve our investment objectives could be adversely affected.
• If we fail to qualify as a REIT and no relief provisions apply, our NAV and cash available for distribution to our stockholders could materially decrease.
• While our investment strategy is to invest in income-focused stabilized private real estate with a focus on providing current income to investors, there is no guarantee that we will achieve this strategy and an investment in us is not an investment in a fixed income instrument.
• The acquisition of investment properties may be financed in substantial part by borrowing, which increases our exposure to loss. The use of leverage involves a high degree of financial risk and will increase the exposure of the investments to adverse economic factors.
• Investing in commercial and other private real estate assets involves certain risks, including but not limited to: tenants’ inability to pay rent; increases in interest rates and lack of availability of financing; tenant turnover and vacancies; and changes in supply of or demand for similar properties in a given market.
• Substantial risks are involved in investing in real estate and real estate-related securities more generally. An unstable geopolitical climate and central bank policies could have a material adverse effect on general economic conditions, market conditions and liquidity. Additionally, a serious pandemic or natural disaster could severely disrupt global, national and/or regional economies, as experienced most recently after the March 2020 outbreak of COVID-19. Renewed outbreaks or the outbreak of new epidemics could result in health or other government authorities requiring the closure of offices or other businesses, including office buildings, retail stores and other commercial venues and could also result in a general economic decline.
