Chapter 1

What is this, in one paragraph?

Riverstone at Owings Mills is a Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) — a passive co-ownership structure whose interests qualify for 1031 exchange treatment — holding a garden-style apartment complex in Owings Mills, Maryland. Carter Exchange sponsored the Trust after Carter Funds bought the property for $92.9 million in July 2022. The sponsor announced full subscription on August 1, 2024, so it is closed to new investors.

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

An apartment community has no single credit tenant — rent comes from hundreds of individual residential leases that turn over continually, so no long-term corporate lease sits behind the income. Carter's offering material does not state occupancy, tenant concentration, or lease terms.5

Chapter 5

How is it financed, and what does it pay?

The public record does not settle how this Trust is capitalized: neither the Form D filings nor Carter's offering page names a lender, states a loan balance, or says whether the Trust carries mortgage debt at all.5

Chapter 7

What does the paperwork say?

The filing record opens with an initial Form D reporting a first sale on October 18, 2022, followed by amendments that updated the amount raised and the investor count.6 The Trust was offered under Rule 506(b), the private-placement exemption that bars general advertising and effectively limits purchasers to accredited investors already known to the sponsor.

How it may be offered
Rule 506(b)Not advertised publicly. Offered through existing relationships.

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

What happened to Riverstone at Owings Mills?

Top1031 lists Riverstone at Owings Mills as historical. It is no longer raising money.

Where does Top1031 get the data for Riverstone at Owings Mills?

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 still invest in Riverstone at Owings Mills?

No. Carter Exchange announced on August 1, 2024 that its $48.8 million Maryland DST offering — this Trust and CX Courts of Avalon — was fully subscribed, and the sponsor's page for the offering states it is closed to new subscriptions. It is a historical Trust for exchange-shopping purposes.[5]

What did the sponsor pay for the property, and who sold it?

Carter Funds bought the 324-unit Riverstone at Owings Mills at 4700 Riverstone Drive for $92.9 million in July 2022. The seller was Continental Realty Corporation, which had acquired the community in 2016 for $61.6 million for its Fund IV.[4]

Why does the SEC record look different from the sponsor's full-subscription announcement?

The most recent Form D amendment on file is dated June 26, 2023, and research on August 26, 2026 located no later SEC filing. The sponsor's full-subscription announcement came on August 1, 2024, after that last amendment, so the SEC record was never updated to reflect the completed raise. Form D amendments are notice filings, not a continuous ledger.

Does this Trust carry mortgage debt?

The public record does not say. The Form D filings do not report leverage, and Carter's offering page names no lender or loan balance. An investor would need the private placement memorandum (PPM) — the offering's full disclosure document — and the Trust's loan documents to establish the debt structure.[5]

Is there a 721/UPREIT exit for this Trust?

Nothing in the record indicates one. A 721 or UPREIT exit is a structure in which the Trust's real estate is contributed to a REIT's operating partnership in exchange for partnership units instead of being sold for cash; this Trust's data shows no such conversion path.

What did the offering cost investors in commissions?

The Form D amendment filed June 26, 2023 estimated $6,812,205 in sales commissions and $3,228,917 in proceeds to related persons covering acquisition fees, financing-cost reimbursements, and offering and organizational expenses.[2]
