Who is the tenant, and what's the lease?
No single corporate tenant sits behind this Trust: income comes from hundreds of individual apartment leases, so occupancy and renewals matter more than one tenant's credit. Starlight Investments' pages for both communities named Bainbridge Management Group as property manager, and no located record states who manages them under Cantor Fitzgerald ownership.4
How are sales going?
These are the sponsor’s own numbers. They can lag what has actually sold, and they do not confirm that interests are still available.
Raise history appears here once sales are filed — free account required.
How is it financed, and what does it pay?
Multi-Housing News reported an $86.5 million Freddie Mac acquisition loan for the two-property purchase, originated by Newmark and maturing in 2035.3 In a DST, mortgage debt sits at the trust level: investors are allocated a share of it for exchange purposes rather than signing for it personally. No located record ties that loan to this Trust.
- Financing
- Leveraged. This offering reports mortgage debt on the property.
Who's behind it?
The Form D names Cantor Fitzgerald Investors, LLC as sponsor, CF Orlando Depositor, LLC as depositor, and CF Orlando Manager, LLC as administrative trustee.2 The depositor and trustee are single-purpose entities formed for this transaction, the usual pattern in DST offerings. The sponsor's asset-management arm runs a standing 1031 exchange program; AltsWire, in a September 17, 2025 survey of DST sales, listed this Trust among the Florida multifamily offerings then on the market.

What does the paperwork say?
The record stops at the original notice filing — a Form D is a notice to the SEC, not a review or an approval — and no amendment has been located through September 1, 2026. The exemption relied on bars general advertising, so access normally runs through a broker-dealer or registered investment adviser relationship.

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.
DST interests are illiquid private securities. You may lose some or all of your investment. Distributions, tax treatment, and exit timing are not guaranteed. Review the current Private Placement Memorandum before investing.
Common questions
Is East at Innovation still raising money?
Top1031 lists East at Innovation as active because the sponsor is still filing with the SEC. That does not confirm that interests remain available.
Where does Top1031 get the data for East at Innovation?
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.
What property is behind this Trust?
Two adjacent apartment communities in east Orlando, Florida — Hudson at East and Eight at East. Multi-Housing News reported on August 28, 2025 that Cantor Fitzgerald acquired both from Starlight Investments for $107.8 million, at $68.4 million and $39.4 million respectively; Connect CRE reported the same August 2025 transaction at a stated total of $108.8 million. Starlight's own pages date Eight at East to 2017 and Hudson at East to 2019. No located SEC filing contains a property schedule naming them, so the holdings are described in the PPM, the private placement memorandum given to prospective investors.
Is the Trust still raising money?
The SEC record shows a single Form D dated August 26, 2025, with no amendment located as of September 1, 2026. A Form D is a point-in-time notice, not a live tracker: its figures describe the offering as of the filing date. Only the sponsor or a participating broker-dealer can confirm what remains open today.
Who can invest, and what is the minimum?
Participation is limited to accredited investors — individuals or entities meeting SEC income or net-worth thresholds. The Form D states a $100,000 minimum outside investment and reported no non-accredited investors. The Trust is offered under Rule 506(b), the private-placement exemption that bars general advertising, so access normally runs through a broker-dealer or registered investment adviser with a pre-existing relationship.
Does the property carry a mortgage?
Multi-Housing News reported on August 28, 2025 that the two-property Orlando acquisition was financed with an $86.5 million Freddie Mac loan originated through Newmark and maturing in 2035. In a leveraged DST, trust-level debt is allocated to investors and can help replace debt retired on the relinquished property. No located public record ties that loan to CF Orlando Multifamily DST, so the loan documents summarized in the PPM are where amount, rate, reserves and prepayment terms are confirmed.
What does the Form D say about offering costs?
The Form D filed August 26, 2025 estimates sales commissions of $3,242,500. That is the issuer's own estimate in a notice filing and does not cover the full cost picture; the PPM contains the complete fee table, including acquisition, loan, organizational, asset-management and property-management arrangements.
What is not settled by the public record?
No filing, deed or loan record located names CF Orlando Multifamily DST or CF Orlando Depositor, LLC as owner of Hudson at East or Eight at East, so title remains unresolved from the reviewed record, and no located source expressly confirms that the East at Innovation name is a rebrand of the two acquired communities. Press accounts differ on the total price. There is no entity-level occupancy figure, rent roll or lease schedule in the public record, and no located filing reports a refinancing, disposition or full subscription.
