This is an excellent question for a CPA, please consult one for a proper answer. You may find the following helpful.
I would form a Limited Liability Corporation (LLC) to own the property. The LLC could then do a 1031 exchange upon sale of the property. If you own it in your name I think you muddy the waters substantially.
The IRS website has a page on 1031's but you have a special case there.
