What is this, in one paragraph?
The Ellington is a 170-unit apartment community on San Antonio's Northeast Side, held in a Delaware statutory trust (DST) — the structure that lets 1031 exchange investors own fractional interests in real estate. Cove Capital Investments bought it out of a lender's foreclosure inventory, closing May 4, 2026.4 The Trust is raising toward a $15,821,820 offering open only to accredited investors — those meeting SEC income or net-worth tests.1

What exactly is the property?
The Ellington sits at 5315 Gawain Drive, a three-story garden community built in 1982.2 Cove Capital says it bought the property through a lender's real-estate-owned disposition — a bank selling collateral it repossessed from a defaulting borrower — at a price below both appraised value and the outstanding loan balance.5 A Cushman & Wakefield listing dated October 30, 2025 said 40% of units remained in original "classic" condition.3 Bexar County appraisal district records value the property at $14.5 million.4

Who is the tenant, and what's the lease?
No single credit tenant carries this Trust: income comes from residents on individual apartment leases running six to twelve months, which reprice with the local rental market rather than locking income in for years.2 The community rents one- and two-bedroom homes.6 No reviewed primary source establishes current occupancy or the property manager.

How is it financed, and what does it pay?
Leveraged means the Trust carries mortgage debt against the property: the loan is repaid out of rent and sale proceeds before investors receive anything, and refinancing or repaying it at maturity falls to the sponsor rather than to each individual owner. No reviewed public record names the lender or states the loan amount or terms.
- Financing
- Leveraged. This offering reports mortgage debt on the property.
Who's behind it?
Cove Capital Investments is a Los Angeles-based sponsor that packages individual properties into Delaware statutory trusts for 1031 exchange investors, filing each one under its own Form D — the brief SEC notice for an exempt private offering.5 It announced this acquisition in a release dated July 24, 2026. Connect Money reported on August 10, 2026 that Cove also acquired a Michigan corporate headquarters for a separate DST. Its earlier San Antonio Multifamily 74 DST is a different, fully subscribed offering.

What does the paperwork say?
The record here is a single original Form D rather than a chain of amendments, so the figures beneath are a snapshot from that one notice, which gives May 27, 2026 as the date of first sale.1 Rule 506(c) lets the sponsor advertise publicly but requires documentary verification of each investor's accredited status.

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 The Ellington still raising money?
Availability unconfirmed. Active means a filing within the past 15 months; it does not by itself establish current subscription availability.
Where does Top1031 get the data for The Ellington?
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.
Has the acquisition actually closed?
Cove Capital announced the purchase in a release dated July 24, 2026, describing it as completed through a lender's real-estate-owned (REO) disposition — a bank selling property it repossessed from a defaulting borrower — at a price below both the appraised value and the outstanding loan balance. The San Antonio Business Journal, reporting on July 29, 2026, said the closing occurred May 4, 2026. No deed or title record directly establishing the Trust's ownership was identified in the material reviewed as of September 7, 2026.
What did Cove Capital pay for The Ellington?
No public record reviewed as of September 7, 2026 discloses the purchase price. Cove Capital's own announcement describes it only in relative terms — below the property's appraised value and below the outstanding loan balance. For context, the San Antonio Business Journal reported that Bexar County appraisal district records value the property at $14.5 million. A stated purchase price, and how offering proceeds are applied to it, would appear in the Private Placement Memorandum (PPM), the private offering document a sponsor gives prospective investors.
Do we know the exact street address?
Yes, though not from SEC filings. The property's own website and public rental listings place The Ellington at 5315 Gawain Drive, San Antonio, Texas 78218, and the San Antonio Business Journal ties Cove Capital's offering to The Ellington on the city's Northeast Side. The Form D names only the legal issuer, SAN ANTONIO MULTIFAMILY 119 DST, with no property name or address, so the street-level identification rests on those outside sources.
What condition is the property in?
A Cushman & Wakefield marketing listing dated October 30, 2025 — before Cove Capital's purchase — described The Ellington as a 170-unit, 1982-built garden community with 40% of units still in original "classic" condition, which the broker framed as value-add upside. No source reviewed as of September 7, 2026 reports renovation work completed since that date, a capital budget, or a verified current occupancy figure. Any planned unit-renovation program and its funding would be described in the PPM.
Who can invest, and what is the minimum?
Only accredited investors — broadly, individuals meeting SEC income or net-worth thresholds. The Offering is made under Rule 506(c), the exemption that permits general advertising but requires the sponsor to verify accredited status with documents such as tax returns or a letter from a CPA or attorney. The Form D filed June 11, 2026 reports a $1,000 minimum accepted from an outside investor, though sponsors and their selling agents commonly apply higher practical minimums for 1031 exchange buyers.
How current and consistent are the subscription figures?
They come from the single Form D filed June 11, 2026 — a snapshot as of that notice, not a live balance. A California state electronic filing depository record for the same accession number, marked as an amendment and dated June 12, 2026, reports a smaller amount sold to fewer investors than the SEC notice; the two records are separately filed and have not been reconciled. Sponsors are not required to amend a Form D as a raise progresses, and no reviewed source reports this Offering as fully subscribed as of September 7, 2026.
