Who is the tenant, and what's the lease?

This is an apartment community rather than a single-tenant building: rent comes from many short-term residential leases renewed unit by unit, so there is no master lease or corporate credit tenant standing behind the income. Public sources reviewed do not establish the current operator, occupancy, or lease terms.

Chapter 5

How is it financed, and what does it pay?

The Trust was capitalized with both investor equity and mortgage debt. Bluerock's 2011 summary described a 10-year fixed-rate loan with an initial interest-only period, meaning early payments covered interest before principal amortization began.3 The lender is not identified in the sources reviewed.

Chapter 7

What does the paperwork say?

The Trust's SEC file contains a single Form D and no later amendment, so nothing after 2011 appears on the federal record.1 It was offered under Rule 506(b), the private-placement exemption that bars general advertising and limits sales to accredited investors — buyers meeting SEC income or net-worth tests.

Where does Top1031 get the data for The Mesa Ridge Apartment?

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.

Can I invest in BR Mesa Ridge, DST today?

No. The Trust is Historical — closed to new investors. Its only SEC filing is a Form D dated February 8, 2011, and Bluerock Value Exchange's current portfolio page lists the Mesa Ridge entry as sold.[4]

What did this Trust own?

A garden-style Class B apartment community, The Mesa Ridge Apartment, at 4900 USAA Boulevard in Northwest San Antonio, Texas.[2] The property rows on this page carry the unit count, building area, and site size.

Was the Trust leveraged?

Yes. Bluerock's 2011 executive summary described mortgage debt alongside the equity offering: a 10-year fixed-rate loan with an initial interest-only period.[3] The lender is not named in the sources reviewed, and no refinancing is documented in public filings.

What happened to the property in the end?

Bluerock Value Exchange's portfolio page marks the Mesa Ridge entry as sold.[4] The sources reviewed disclose no sale date, sale price, or investor outcome, so no completed result can be reported here.

What does "DST" mean in this context?

A Delaware statutory trust holds real estate and issues beneficial interests that the IRS treats as direct property ownership, so an investor can use them to complete a 1031 exchange. Investors are passive: the trustee and sponsor make all property decisions.

Why is there only one filing on record?

Issuers relying on Rule 506(b) file a Form D within 15 days of the first sale and may amend it annually while raising. This Trust's file shows one 2011 Form D and no amendment, so the federal record was never updated.
