Corporations are normally subject to income tax upon distribution of an appreciated property.
However, in this case it appears that the distribution is being made to a person who is not a shareholder of the corporation. It also does not appear that you are giving consideration for the property.
It would be interesting to see what the tax outcome is.
The one thing about holding real estate in a C-corp is that the value of the real estate is not stepped up upon passing. However, the value of the stock is stepped up upon passing.
