Whirlpool Amana Manufacturing Facility

Top1031 lists Whirlpool Amana Manufacturing Facility as active because the sponsor is still filing with the SEC. That does not confirm that interests remain available.

Top1031 builds this record from the sponsor’s own SEC filings and cited sponsor disclosures. Filings can lag what is happening now. A Form D filing does not mean the SEC approved, endorsed, or verified the offering.

Whirlpool Corporation. The Gazette reported that Whirlpool sold the plant at 2800 220th Trail for $92.7 million on October 26, 2020 to a Chicago-based LLC, Wramia001, and planned a long-term lease in a sale-and-leaseback. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources lists the facility as Whirlpool Corporation – Amana Division, producing household refrigerators and home freezers. Neither source states the lease term, rent, escalators or renewal rights, and the SEC Form D record does not describe the lease at all. Lease economics and any go-dark, assignment or early-termination rights are questions for the Private Placement Memorandum, the offering's full disclosure document.

They are tenant-side employment events, and no source reviewed reports a plant closure or a lease default. The Iowa Workforce Development WARN log records an amended layoff of 250 workers effective July 30, 2025, and a mass layoff of 341 workers effective March 9, 2026 on a notice dated February 17, 2026. Manufacturing Dive reported on February 26, 2026 that Whirlpool would cut more than 300 jobs at the plant. KCRG reported on June 5, 2026 that second-shift production would end effective July 5, 2026, affecting 288 employees, as part of a modernization and refrigerator-line update; the Des Moines Register reported the same 288-job cut. The Wall Street Journal reported on August 4, 2026 that plant employment had fallen from about 3,000 to 650. Whether reduced operations trigger any lease right is a question for the lease and the PPM.

The public record reviewed as of August 31, 2026 does not settle it. The Form D/A filed September 11, 2025 offers equity and discloses no debt, which is not the same as establishing that the Trust is debt-free; no lender, loan balance, maturity, promissory note or recorded mortgage tied to this Trust was located. Third-party marketplace summaries characterize Blue Owl DSTs as carrying no loan, while the compiled property record labels this offering leveraged — those are characterizations, not filings. Ask the sponsor for the loan documents, or written confirmation that there are none, plus any lender, balance, rate and maturity.

The public record does not show that. The Gazette reported that Whirlpool sold the plant in October 2020 to a Chicago-based LLC named Wramia001 and planned to lease it back, so any purchase by this Trust — which was formed in 2025 — would have been from that owner rather than from Whirlpool itself. Research through August 31, 2026 did not retrieve a deed, SEC exhibit or sponsor release tracing title into the Trust, and the Form D does not name a property. Ask the sponsor for the closing statement, purchase price and title policy.

Blue Owl's program contemplates that the property may eventually be contributed to a REIT operating partnership in exchange for units — a Section 721 exchange — rather than sold for cash. Investors would then hold REIT units instead of an interest in real estate, which generally ends the ability to complete another 1031 exchange with that interest and changes how and when tax is triggered. It is a contemplated structure, not a completed transaction; the mechanics, timing and sponsor discretion sit in the PPM and trust agreement.

The Form D reports the offering as made under Rule 506(b), an exemption that lets an issuer sell privately without registering with the SEC but bars general solicitation or advertising — meaning the sponsor and its selling broker-dealers cannot cold-market it and must rely on pre-existing relationships. Buyers must be accredited investors, qualifying on income or net worth, and the filing reports a $250,000 minimum investment.
