How was it financed, and what did it cost to sell?
This is a leveraged Trust: a fixed-rate mortgage sits at the trust level across both properties, which lets an exchanger replace debt carried on the property they sold. Neither Form D names a lender; the sponsor publishes the loan rate and leverage ratio on its own offering page. 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.

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
- What happened to Liberty Lofts and Midtown Urban?
- Liberty Lofts and Midtown Urban is a Historical offering. The last Form D, filed May 23, 2025, reports the offering fully sold.
- Who is the tenant at Liberty Lofts?
- Texas Christian University. The sponsor reports a five-year master lease giving TCU the exclusive right to secure all Liberty Lofts units for student housing through July 2028, meaning the university — not individual students — is the lease counterparty for that property. Midtown Urban, by contrast, is leased to residents directly under private management.
- Is Midtown Urban near UT Arlington or the University of North Texas?
- The address on file is 1121 UTA Boulevard in Arlington, Texas, and both the sponsor's own page and Connect CRE's August 5, 2024 report place the property at UT Arlington. Some August 2024 trade coverage described it as serving UNT in Denton. The address and the sponsor material are the stronger evidence.
- Does this Trust convert into a REIT?
- No. The data shows no 721/UPREIT exit — that is the structure in which a DST's property is contributed to a REIT's operating partnership in exchange for OP units, converting a real-property interest into a securities interest. Here the trust holds the two properties directly, so an eventual sale would be a straight property disposition.
- Why does the Form D report only one investor?
- Form D asks for the number of investors who have purchased in the offering, and this issuer reported one on both filings, including the amendment marking the raise complete. Issuers report that field inconsistently, and the filings do not explain the figure. Treat it as a filing artifact rather than a count of beneficial owners.
