What exactly is the property?
DealPoint Merrill lists Columbus Self-Storage Super Center at 3800 West Broad Street in Columbus, Ohio, describing a Class A climate-controlled storage building co-anchored by junior retail space.3 An archived LoopNet listing for that address says the storage facility was completely rehabilitated in 2014 and went on the market December 4, 2019; the listing records no completed sale or buyer.4 No acquisition date or price for the Trust appears in the public record.

- Property size
- 120,656 square feet; 595 units; 24,575-square-foot junior retail tenant
Who is the tenant, and what's the lease?
Self-storage revenue comes from many short-term unit rentals rather than one corporate tenant, so there is no single credit lease standing behind the storage side. The junior retail tenant is not named in the Form D, and no master lease or master tenant for this Trust appears in the public record.
How did it end?
No ending on record
No dated, affirmative evidence of either a sale/721 conversion or continuing trust ownership of the 3800 W Broad Street Columbus OH CubeSmart facility could be located (LoopNet listing is archived from 2019, the DealPoint Merrill property page is undated, and only the original July 28, 2022 Form D exists), so the prior 'still_operating' classification lacks the dated affirmative proof required and is replaced with 'unknown'.
DealPoint Merrill describes a 595-unit Class A climate-controlled super center co-anchored with a 24,575-square-foot junior retail tenant; a 2025 White Securities Law article says the 2022 offering exceeded $9 million.

How is it financed, and what does it pay?
The Form D says nothing about debt — no lender, no mortgage terms, no all-cash statement. Whether the Trust is leveraged, and on what terms, would appear only in the private placement memorandum (PPM), the private offering document delivered to prospective investors.
Who's behind it?
Secondary materials identify DealPoint Merrill as the sponsor of this Trust; that attribution does not appear in the SEC Form D text reviewed.2 The Form D itself names David Frank and David Rumsey as executive officers and promoters, with Frank signing as chief executive.1 On May 15, 2025, the law firm White Securities Law published a page about the Trust soliciting investor claims; research located no underlying lawsuit, arbitration award, or other adverse primary record.2

What does the paperwork say?
No amendment was ever filed to update the raise or report a close, so the subscription figures on record are the ones captured in the summer of 2022; the Form D dates the first sale to March 4, 2022.1 The exemption used permits general advertising, but every buyer must be verified as an accredited investor.

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 Columbus Self-Storage Super Center?
Top1031 lists Columbus Self-Storage Super Center as historical. It is no longer raising money.
Where does Top1031 get the data for Columbus Self-Storage Super Center?
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 exactly am I buying in this Trust?
A beneficial interest in DPM Self Storage Columbus DST, a Delaware statutory trust formed in 2022. The trust structure is what makes the interest eligible as replacement property in a 1031 exchange: you own an undivided fractional interest in the real estate rather than shares in an operating company. The underlying asset is a climate-controlled self-storage property with a junior retail component at 3800 West Broad Street in Columbus, Ohio, as described on DealPoint Merrill's property page.
Is the offering still open?
The public record shows a single Form D filed July 28, 2022 and nothing after it. No amendment, and no other filing, reports the offering closed, fully subscribed, or withdrawn. Top1031 lists it as raising on that basis. Because the sponsor never amended the notice, any subscription activity after mid-2022 is not visible in SEC filings; a current investor would need to ask the sponsor directly.
How big is the offering?
The Form D filed July 28, 2022 reported a total offering amount of $9,205,564, with a $100,000 minimum investment and no non-accredited investors permitted. A May 15, 2025 White Securities Law page separately describes the 2022 offering as exceeding $9 million, consistent with the filing.
Does the Trust have a mortgage?
Unknown from the public record. Form D does not require debt disclosure, and no lender, loan amount, or loan-to-value figure appears in any filing for this Trust. Leverage matters in a 1031 exchange because an exchanger replacing debt generally needs replacement property debt of comparable size. That answer lives in the PPM, not in EDGAR.
Who runs the storage facility today?
The public record does not establish it. A JustSelfStorage page currently lists a storage facility at 3800 West Broad Street under the JustSelfStorage Columbus brand, but the page carries no ownership statement or date, so it neither confirms that this Trust owns the property nor identifies the current operator of record. An older archived LoopNet listing for the same address referenced a CubeSmart-branded facility, indicating the brand on the building has changed over time.
What is the May 2025 law-firm page about the Trust?
On May 15, 2025, White Securities Law published a page identifying DPM Self Storage Columbus DST as a DealPoint Merrill-sponsored Delaware statutory trust and soliciting investors who may have claims, referencing possible FINRA arbitration. Research located no underlying lawsuit, arbitration award, foreclosure, bankruptcy, or other adverse primary record connected to the Trust. A law-firm solicitation page is an advertisement, not an adjudicated finding.
