What does the Trust own?
The park sits in North Fort Worth, near the Highway 287, Highway 114 and Interstate 35 corridors. Small-bay flex space is divided into modest units, so income comes from many leases rather than one. Cove Capital's July 29, 2026 announcement described the park as acquired but gave no closing date and no purchase price. 2 No street address or seller name appears in the public record.

How is it financed, and what did it cost to sell?

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 the Trust?
Cove Capital Investments sponsors debt-free DST offerings aimed at 1031 exchange investors, and the Form D names the firm as the Offering's promoter and sponsor. 3 The firm kept closing offerings through 2026: AltsWire reported a $12.95 million Wichita retail DST fully subscribed on September 8, 2026, and a $9.96 million Anchorage industrial DST on September 17, 2026. AltsWire also reported an August 19, 2026 Southfield, Michigan headquarters purchase paired with an $11 million DST launch.

What does the SEC record show?
No amendment followed the original Form D, so the subscription figures on file predate Cove Capital's July 29, 2026 full-subscription announcement. 2 The Offering could be advertised publicly but sold only to accredited investors — those meeting income or net-worth tests — whose status the sponsor must verify.

Common questions
- Can I still invest in Cove Fort Worth Small Bay Industrial 96 DST?
- No new interests: Cove Fort Worth Small Bay Industrial 96 DST is reported fully subscribed. Top1031 lists it as recently fully subscribed and does not count it as an active offering.
- Does Cove Fort Worth Small Bay Industrial 96 DST have a 721 UPREIT exit?
- The record lists a possible 721 exit for Cove Fort Worth Small Bay Industrial 96 DST. It is an option, not a completed transaction; the offering documents set whether and when it can happen. In a 721 exchange, or UPREIT, the DST’s property is contributed to a REIT’s operating partnership and investors receive operating-partnership units instead of cash.
- How a DST-to-721 UPREIT exit works
- What does 'debt-free' mean for my 1031 exchange?
- Cove Capital describes the property as owned with no leverage. There is no loan to mature, refinance or default on, and no lender that can foreclose. The tradeoff: if your relinquished property carried a mortgage, a debt-free DST supplies no replacement debt, so you would generally need additional cash to avoid taxable boot. Your own tax adviser is the place to work that math.
- Who are the tenants?
- Cove Capital's July 29, 2026 release describes the park as leased to a diverse mix of industrial tenants rather than a single corporate tenant. No tenant names, unit sizes, rents, occupancy percentage or lease expiration dates appear in the SEC filing or the sponsor materials reviewed, so the rent roll and lease abstracts in the offering documents are the only place to verify them.
- Why do the minimum investment figures differ?
- The Form D filed September 26, 2025 records a $1,000 minimum outside investment accepted, while Cove Capital's offering materials state a $100,000 minimum, and public sources do not reconcile the two. The governing number is whatever the offering documents and subscription agreement state, so ask the sponsor to point to it in writing.
- Has the property been acquired, and when?
- Cove Capital's materials describe the Trust as owning a debt-free four-building flex industrial park in North Fort Worth, and its July 29, 2026 announcement refers to the park as acquired — but it gives no closing date and no purchase price. The Form D's date of first sale, September 3, 2025, is an offering milestone, not a closing date on the real estate. No seller name appears in the public record either.
