How was it financed, and what did it cost to sell?
The debt picture is not in the public record. The Form D says nothing about borrowings, and no lender, loan amount, or leverage level appeared in the sponsor releases and news coverage reviewed, so whether the Trust carries a mortgage or holds the property free of debt is not established.

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 Ashford Townes?
Capital Square is a repeat sponsor of 1031 exchange DST programs, which it files under the CS1031 naming convention. It announced this acquisition on March 7, 2023, describing a build-for-rent townhome community near Raleigh bought specifically for a DST offering. 3 On August 3, 2023 the sponsor reported that the offering had been fully subscribed by accredited investors — individuals who meet SEC income or net-worth thresholds. 2

What does the SEC record show?
One Form D, filed February 23, 2023 and never amended, so the SEC file captures this offering only as it stood at launch. Rule 506(c) means Capital Square could market the Trust publicly but had to take steps to verify that every buyer was an accredited investor.

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
- What happened to Ashford Townes?
- Ashford Townes is a Historical offering. Last Form D filed Feb 23, 2023.
- What does "build-for-rent" mean here?
- Build-for-rent (BFR) describes housing constructed from the outset as rental product rather than for-sale homes. At Ashford Townes, homebuilder D.R. Horton completed the three-bedroom townhomes in February 2022, and the community operates as a professionally managed rental property rather than as individually sold houses.
- Who lives in the property and who runs it?
- Residents are individual households on standard residential leases, not a single corporate tenant, so income depends on ongoing occupancy and renewals rather than one long-term lease. Greystar, a national apartment operator, is listed as the property manager on its own leasing page for the community.
- Does this Trust convert into a REIT through a 721 exchange?
- The record shows no 721/UPREIT feature for this Trust — that is the structure where a DST's property is later contributed to a REIT's operating partnership in exchange for units. Investors relying on a specific exit path would need to read the offering documents.
- What is still unknown about this deal?
- The purchase price, any lender and loan amount, the named legal master tenant, and the full lease and management terms do not appear in the Form D or in the sponsor and press sources reviewed. There is also an address discrepancy: acquisition and Greystar materials cite 604 Oakbrook Pass Way, while the current leasing site uses 602 Oakbrook Pass Way.
