What is a Delaware Statutory Trust (DST)?
How a DST Works
A Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) is a legal structure that allows multiple investors to co-own a single real estate asset without active management responsibilities.
Each investor holds a fractional interest in the trust, which owns the property outright. The DST acts as the passive titleholder, while daily operations are handled by a professional sponsor or trustee.
DSTs are governed by strict IRS rules that prohibit refinancing, redevelopment, or active control—ensuring the investment remains hands-off and income-generating.
This structure is often used for stabilized, cash-flowing assets or ground-leased land, making it an appealing option for investors seeking passive real estate exposure with predictable income streams.
DSTs & 1031 Exchanges
DSTs are a popular replacement option in 1031 exchanges as a streamlined way to defer capital gains tax when selling appreciated real estate.
Because a DST qualifies as “like-kind” property, investors can reinvest their sale proceeds into a DST to continue tax deferral—without needing to manage a new property.
Income is typically distributed monthly or quarterly from rents or ground lease payments. For investors seeking to exit active ownership (such as landlords, developers, or aging investors), DSTs provide a fully passive and tax efficient solution for access to institutional-grade real estate.
Who Can Invest & How to Evaluate DSTs
DSTs are open to accredited investors only, as defined by SEC regulations. They’re best suited for those seeking passive income, tax deferral via 1031 exchange, or diversification across property types and geographies.
When evaluating a DST, consider:
- the underlying asset quality and location
- the sponsor’s track record
- the lease structure—especially whether payments are backed by credit, cash reserves, or operating income
Investors should also understand liquidity limitations and exit scenarios, as DSTs are long-term holdings with minimal flexibility once subscribed.

FAQ
There is no established secondary market for the Fund’s beneficial interests, and none is expected to develop. Interests in the DST are subject to substantial transfer restrictions. Accordingly, investors should be prepared to hold their investment for an indefinite period of time, unless and until a liquidity event is initiated by the sponsor.
Distributions are expected to be made monthly and are funded through a master lease agreement in which the property is leased to a sponsor-controlled tenant at a fixed 7% return. Lease payments will initially be supported by pre-funded reserves. The DST may also use proceeds from operations, future leases, or other capital sources. Distributions are not guaranteed and may vary depending on cash flow and reserve availability.

As a DST, this offering does not include direct ownership or development of an apartment complex. The DST owns the land and leases it via a long-term ground lease. While future development may occur if the sponsor exercises its call option to reacquire the land, this investment does not participate in that vertical development or any related amenities.

Investing in the Fund is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. You should consider purchasing interests only if you can afford a complete loss of your investment. Please carefully review the full section entitled “Certain Risk Factors” in the Fund’s Private Placement Memorandum (“PPM”) before investing. A summary of key risks includes, but is not limited to, the following:
- Illiquidity and Lack of Transferability: Interests in the DST are illiquid and not expected to be resold. There is no secondary market, and investors should expect to hold the investment indefinitely. Restrictions on transfers also limit the ability to exit early or reposition capital.
- DST Structural Constraints: DSTs are governed by IRS regulations that restrict the ability to refinance, redevelop, or materially improve the property. These limits prevent active asset management and may impact the ability to respond to market conditions or maximize property value.
- Reliance on Master Lease Payments: All investor distributions are dependent on the master tenant fulfilling lease obligations. Although reserves are pre-funded, if the master tenant defaults or becomes financially impaired, the DST may be unable to make scheduled distributions.
- Sponsor Call Option: The sponsor has the right to reacquire the land. While this feature may enable future development upside, the timing, pricing, and structure of the call option may not align with investor liquidity preferences or desired holding periods. Investors have limited control over exit mechanics.
- Real Estate Market Risks: The performance of the land parcel is subject to broader macroeconomic conditions, including fluctuations in interest rates, property valuations, inflation, and local market demand. Economic downturns, regulatory changes, or declining demand in the Charlotte NoDa submarket could adversely affect the investment.
- Use of Offering Proceeds and Reserve Depletion: The Fund may use offering proceeds to fund distributions or lease reserves. If these reserves are depleted before income stabilizes, future distributions may be delayed or reduced. Investors should not assume that yield targets are guaranteed or reflective of long-term operational performance.
- Dependence on Sponsor and Affiliates: The master tenant and administrative entities are controlled by the sponsor and its affiliates. Conflicts of interest may arise, and there is no assurance that transactions between affiliated parties will be conducted at arm’s length or in favor of the DST’s investors.
- Limited Operating History: The DST is a newly formed entity with no historical performance, and past success of the sponsor is not a predictor of future results. Unforeseen legal, tax, or operational issues may arise during the investment term.
These and other risks should be thoroughly reviewed with a qualified advisor. Investing in DST structures is not suitable for all investors and may not align with short-term cash flow or liquidity objectives. Please consult the Fund's PPM for additional detail on structure-specific and project-specific risk disclosures.

Risk Factors
SUMMARY OF KEY RISK FACTORS
Risks of an investment in the DST include, among other things, the following:
• Complete reliance on the Master Tenant to pay the rent and perform its obligations under the Master Lease;
• Limited control over the property and day-to-day operations by investors;
• Lack of liquidity, as there is no established secondary market for interests in the DST and transfers are restricted;
• Holding a beneficial interest in the DST without any voting rights;
• The long-term nature of the Master Lease, which may limit flexibility in responding to market conditions;
• Limited diversification, as the DST’s performance depends on a single property;
• Various conflicts of interest among the Sponsor, the DST, the Master Tenant, and their affiliates;
• Various risks associated with real estate generally and specifically with ownership of vacant land;
• Certain tax risks, including the potential loss of anticipated 1031 exchange benefits if the DST fails to qualify; and
• Changes in interest rate levels and volatility in the capital markets, which could adversely affect property values.
Investors should carefully review the “Certain Risk Factors” section of the Private Placement Memorandum for a more complete discussion of these and other risks before making an investment decision.
