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?

What does the SEC record show?
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.

Common questions
- What happened to Columbus Self-Storage Super Center?
- Columbus Self-Storage Super Center is a Historical offering. Last Form D filed Jul 28, 2022.
- 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.
- 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 offering documents, 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. A law-firm solicitation page is an advertisement, not an adjudicated finding.
