Best Answer

Ground leases offer many advantages to the landlord. A ground lease will usually involve construction or improvements that will be profitable to the landlord. Since the landlord maintains ownership of the land, the landlord can sell the land for a much higher value or pass on the appreciated value of the land to his heirs.

There is also a positive advantage of ground lease for tenants. A ground lease allows the tenant ready use of the land avoiding blocking of huge money in a large land purchase. Leasing the land will facilitate the tenant to use funds for more productive expenses.

A ground rent lease is when the owner of the land leases it for a period of 99 years, in return for a annual payment from the lessee, someone owning a building on the land. If you want to redeem the land, there is a one-time payment of $1500 to $3000 to avoid the $90 to $150 annual lease payment.
