Who is the tenant, and what's the lease?
No single corporate tenant stands behind this rent: it arrives from individual apartment residents, unit by unit, on leases the property markets at a 12-month minimum.5 Cottonwood's disclosure describes a master lease under which a wholly owned sponsor subsidiary leases the property from the trust and subleases apartments to residents.1
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.

How is it financed, and what does it pay?
This is a leveraged trust: mortgage debt sits alongside investor equity, which is how a DST can supply the replacement debt a 1031 exchanger may need to match. Cottonwood reported that the property-level bridge loan was refinanced in connection with the June 27, 2025 transfer, cutting debt from $60.2 million to about $42.6 million.1
Who's behind it?
Cottonwood Communities is a publicly registered non-traded REIT focused on multifamily, and this trust is the first offering in the DST program it launched in the third quarter of 2025; its own ownership of the property falls as interests sell.2 Blue Vault reported a signed June 27, 2025 agreement to acquire RealSource Properties, adding 11 multifamily properties and combining more than 11,000 units across 13 states. AltsWire reported on July 21, 2026 that Cottonwood bought two apartment complexes for $103.3 million. Orchard Securities is dealer manager.

What does the paperwork say?
The exempt-offering filing has never been amended, so it still shows launch-day figures rather than current progress. Cottonwood's quarterly report for the period ended June 30, 2026 reported $27.4 million of interests sold in this trust's offering.2 Interests are placed privately with accredited investors — those meeting SEC income or net-worth tests — without general advertising.

Common questions
Is 805 Riverfront Apartments still raising money?
Top1031 lists 805 Riverfront Apartments 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 805 Riverfront Apartments?
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 does this trust actually own?
One asset: 805 Riverfront, a 285-unit Class A apartment community at 805 Riverfront Street in West Sacramento's Bridge District, averaging 746 square feet per unit. Cottonwood Communities reported transferring the property into Cottonwood Riverfront DST on June 27, 2025 and owning 100% of the trust interests at that time, with its stake declining as interests are sold. Engineering News-Record described the building as a five-story mixed-use project directly across from Sutter Health Park.
How far along is the offering?
Cottonwood Communities reported that the first offering of DST interests in this trust commenced in the third quarter of 2025, and its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 reported $27.4 million of DST Interests sold in the Cottonwood Riverfront DST offering. An offering summary published by Baker 1031 presents total capitalization of $117,502,000, of which $42,556,000 is debt. The Form D on file was submitted September 30, 2025 and has never been amended, so the exempt-offering record itself shows nothing newer. Confirm current availability and any closing date with the sponsor or your representative.
Who pays the rent, and how is occupancy trending?
Individual residents pay the rent — this is a conventional apartment community, not a single-tenant net lease, so income turns over unit by unit and there is no corporate credit behind it. The leasing page advertises a 12-month minimum resident lease term. Cottonwood's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 reported 93.33% physical occupancy and net effective rent of $2,181, while the sponsor's properties page reported the building 92.2% occupied as of the same date; an earlier REIT quarterly report showed 85.7% occupancy as of September 30, 2024. Ask the sponsor for the most recent rent roll before relying on any of those figures.
Is there a mortgage on the property?
Yes. Cottonwood reported that the property-level bridge loan was refinanced in connection with the June 27, 2025 transfer into the trust, reducing debt from $60.2 million to approximately $42.6 million, with the mortgage bearing interest at 5.08% on a seven-year term. The issuer's June 30, 2026 property table reported $42.556 million of mortgage debt outstanding. Because a DST generally cannot refinance or renegotiate its loan, read the maturity, prepayment terms, reserves and recourse carve-outs in the PPM — the trust's private placement memorandum — before relying on any of it.
What did Cottonwood pay for the property?
Sacramento Business Journal reported on July 23, 2025 that Cottonwood paid $108.4 million for the 285-unit property; The Registry reported the same $108.4 million figure that day, about $380,000 per unit. The issuer's own property table as of June 30, 2026 lists a September 2023 purchase date and a $104.646 million purchase-price/investment figure. The two source descriptions differ, so ask the sponsor which figure represents the trust's tax basis and what the difference reflects.
How is the offering sold, and who can buy?
The Form D indicates a Rule 506(b) private placement — the exemption that bars general advertising and, in practice, limits sales to accredited investors already known to the sponsor or its selling group. The filing reports a $25,000 minimum investment, and Orchard Securities serves as dealer manager. The Form D also names CC Exchange TRS, Inc. as sponsor, CC Riverfront Depositor, LLC as depositor, and CC Riverfront Manager, LLC as trust manager. Because 506(b) offerings are not publicly marketed, access typically runs through a registered representative or the sponsor directly.
