What is this, in one paragraph?
This Trust is a Delaware statutory trust (DST) — the structure that lets 1031 exchangers own fractional interests in real estate — holding two age-restricted (55-plus) build-for-rent cottage communities in McKinney and Waco, Texas.1 Capital Square announced the launch on March 5, 2026, describing an all-cash purchase with no mortgage debt.2 Intermediary Baker 1031 reports the Trust closed on both properties on March 3, 2026.3

What exactly is the property?
Both communities are single-story cottage rentals for residents aged 55 and older — age-restricted housing, not licensed care. Capital Square identifies them as Emerald Cottages of Stonebridge in McKinney and Emerald Cottages of Waco.2 Intermediary Baker 1031 reports the Trust bought the pair on March 3, 2026 for a $32,225,000 unloaded price.3 Capital Square's March 5, 2026 launch announcement reported both communities 100% occupied.2

Who is the tenant, and what's the lease?
The Trust does not rent to residents directly: intermediary Baker 1031 reports each property is net-leased to an affiliated master tenant, with a Capital Square affiliate managing and subcontracting operations to an operator called Carbon Shepherd.3 Under that structure, the Trust collects rent from the master tenant entities rather than from residents.
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?
There is no lender in this structure — no loan maturity, no covenants and no refinancing to manage during the hold.2 An exchanger who must replace debt that was paid off on a relinquished property would not find that replacement inside this Trust and would need to satisfy the requirement elsewhere in the exchange.
- Financing
- All cash. This offering reports no mortgage debt.
Who's behind it?
Capital Square sponsors the Trust through Capital Square Realty Advisors, LLC and runs a multi-offering 1031 DST platform, with other Trusts raising alongside this one. It announced this offering's launch on March 5, 2026, seeking capital from accredited investors — buyers who meet the SEC's income or net-worth tests.2 Its March 2026 launch release was picked up by trade outlets including AltsWire and Blue Vault Partners.

What does the paperwork say?
The paperwork trail is short: a Form D — the brief notice an issuer files for a private placement rather than a registered public offering — with nothing filed after it.4 Because the Trust may be advertised publicly, the sponsor must verify each buyer's accredited status rather than accept a self-certification.

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 Texas Active Living Portfolio I still raising money?
The sponsor’s SEC filings show the offering raising money within the past 15 months. A filing does not by itself confirm you can still buy in.
Where does Top1031 get the data for Texas Active Living Portfolio I?
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 did the Trust pay for the two communities, and when did it close?
Intermediary Baker 1031's offering page reports that the Trust acquired the properties on March 3, 2026 at a $32,225,000 unloaded price. Capital Square's own March 5, 2026 launch announcement describes an all-cash acquisition but names no price or closing date, and no deed or closing record was located in the reviewed material. The Private Placement Memorandum (PPM) — the offering's disclosure document — carries the sources-and-uses table showing price, closing costs, fees and reserves.
Who collects the rent from residents?
Not the Trust directly. Intermediary Baker 1031 reports each property is net-leased to an affiliated master tenant — one for McKinney, one for Waco — and that a Capital Square affiliate manages the communities, subcontracting operations to a firm called Carbon Shepherd. The master tenants collect resident rent and pay rent up to the Trust. Legal names, lease terms, how each master tenant is capitalized, and affiliate fees appear in the PPM.
Is there a mortgage on the properties?
No. Capital Square describes the acquisition as all-cash with no mortgage debt, so the real estate is owned free and clear, with no lender, no loan covenants and no refinancing deadline during the hold. An exchanger who must replace debt that was paid off on a relinquished property will not find that debt here and would need to satisfy the requirement elsewhere in the exchange.
What operating history has the sponsor reported?
In its March 5, 2026 launch announcement, Capital Square reported both communities 100% occupied, with waitlists of 18 prospective residents in McKinney and 12 in Waco, plus trailing-12-month resident retention of 86% in McKinney and 78% in Waco, with zero bad debt and no rental concessions. Those are sponsor-reported figures from launch; nothing later was located, so current reporting is worth requesting directly from the sponsor or your representative.
What does "active adult" mean for this portfolio?
Capital Square markets both Emerald Cottages communities as build-for-rent housing for residents aged 55 and older — age-restricted rentals, not licensed care. Nothing in the reviewed material describes healthcare or assisted-living services provided by the Trust. The PPM should state the age restriction, how it is enforced and what services management provides.
Is the offering still open, and what is the minimum investment?
The SEC record holds a single Form D, filed April 2, 2026, listing a $50,000 minimum investment. Separately, intermediary Baker 1031's page for the Trust, updated July 31, 2026, described the offering as closed with no equity available — a later, unfiled characterization the SEC record neither confirms nor contradicts. Form D data lags real activity, since issuers need not report subscription progress between filings, so confirm availability with the sponsor or your representative before identifying this Trust on a 45-day list.
