What does Skytop Apartments own?
Bluerock closed the $88.5 million acquisition on September 29, 2025, with this Trust as the acquisition vehicle holding the fee-simple interest in the Cincinnati property. 2 The sellers were unaffiliated: Wood Stone V Holdings Skytop LLC and Wood Stone VI Skytop Holdings LLC. 2 The parent's December 2025 property table lists an average year built of 2024. 3 The community first crossed Bluerock's 90% physical-occupancy stabilization threshold in the second quarter of 2025. 2

How is it financed, and what did it cost to sell?
A Fannie Mae senior mortgage secured by the property sits ahead of investor equity and is interest-only, so no principal amortizes before its October 1, 2035 maturity. 2 Bluerock Homes Trust funded the balance of the September 2025 closing with company equity and a draw on its KeyBank credit facility — parent-level borrowing rather than Trust debt. 2

Form D Item 15 and Item 16 amounts may be the issuer’s estimates; each percentage is Top1031’s arithmetic on two Form D figures. Item 16 can overlap Item 15, so Top1031 does not add them together. The issuer marked these amounts as an estimate.
Who's behind Skytop Apartments?
The Form D names BHM Skytop Exchange TRS, LLC as sponsor of the issuer and Bluerock Value Exchange, LLC as an affiliate of that sponsor. 1 The Trust sits inside the DST program of Bluerock Homes Trust, a publicly reporting company that discloses the program's progress in its own quarterly filings. 4 On August 3, 2026, Bluerock added three senior regional vice presidents at Bluerock Capital Markets, its dealer manager for 1031 and 721/UPREIT distribution — the latter an exchange of property for REIT operating-partnership units.

What does the SEC record show?
The Trust's original exempt-offering notice has never been amended, so its own SEC record stops in 2025 and says nothing about the parent's later report that the DST was fully subscribed. 4 It is offered under the private-placement exemption that permits general solicitation, provided the issuer verifies every buyer is an accredited investor — someone meeting SEC income or net-worth tests.

Amounts, investor counts and minimums are as filed with the SEC on Form D. The change lines are Top1031’s arithmetic between consecutive filings; a new Form D notice starts a new count.
A Form D is the notice a sponsor files when it starts raising money. A Form D filing does not mean the SEC approved, endorsed, or verified the offering.
Common questions
- Is Skytop Apartments an active offering?
- Skytop Apartments is an Active offering: its latest Form D was filed Oct 2, 2025. A Form D filing does not by itself confirm that interests are still available; the sponsor or a registered representative can confirm what is open.
- Who is the tenant, and how does the lease work?
- There is no corporate credit tenant. Residents occupy the 361 apartments under leases that Bluerock Homes Trust's September 2025 acquisition Form 8-K describes as generally one year in length, treated as operating leases. Income therefore depends on continuing resident demand and renewals rather than one long-term contract. The property's leasing website displays RPM Living branding and an RPM Living contact email; the public filings reviewed here do not spell out the DST's internal lease arrangements, so request the lease documents and the offering documents.
- What debt funded the purchase?
- Bluerock Homes Trust's Form 8-K for the September 29, 2025 closing disclosed an approximately $57.5 million Fannie Mae senior loan made to the Skytop DST and secured by the property, bearing fixed 4.98% interest with interest-only payments and maturing October 1, 2035. The same filing reported approximately $13.0 million of gross company equity and approximately $22.0 million borrowed through the company's KeyBank credit facility; that credit-facility borrowing is parent-level debt rather than a loan identified as made to the Trust. Because the senior loan is interest-only, its principal balance does not amortize during the term.
- What has been reported about occupancy and rents?
- Bluerock Homes Trust treats 90% physical occupancy as its stabilization threshold and reported in its September 2025 acquisition Form 8-K that Skytop first reached that level in the second quarter of 2025. Its 2025 Form 10-K reported occupied units at 94.5% of all Skytop units as of December 31, 2025, or 95.0% excluding units held for sale or renovation, and listed the property's average rent as $1,721 at that date. No more recent property-level occupancy figure was located in this review; ask the sponsor for a current rent roll.
- What does the Trust actually own, and what does the sponsor retain?
- Per Bluerock Homes Trust's Form 8-K for the September 29, 2025 closing, BR Skytop Multifamily, DST was the acquisition vehicle, and the acquired entity held the fee-simple interest in Skytop Apartments at 5280 Beechmont Avenue, Cincinnati, Ohio. Investors in turn hold beneficial interests in the Trust. The parent's 2025 Form 10-K operating-investment table listed a 3% ownership interest for Skytop at December 31, 2025, and its June 30, 2026 Form 10-Q listed $82.297 million of net real estate investments for the property.
- Is there an exit into REIT units?
- The Top1031 record carries no planned 721/UPREIT conversion for this Trust — the transaction in which investors contribute property to a REIT's operating partnership in exchange for units. Bluerock's dealer manager distributes both 1031 and 721 programs, but that is a platform description, not a commitment for this offering. Any repurchase, conversion, or sale rights are governed solely by the offering documents and the trust agreement, so read those documents before assuming an exit route exists.
