How have sales gone?
The sponsor’s own numbers, with the caveat in Sales so far ↑.
How is it financed, and what did it cost to sell?
Sponsor material describes a $35,805,000 mortgage closing alongside the purchase, making this a leveraged Trust: the lender is repaid before investors, and the fixed-rate loan is interest-only, so no principal is paid down during its ten-year term. 1 The SEC filings themselves say nothing about debt, and no lender is named in the sources reviewed.

- Leveraged. This offering reports mortgage debt on the property.

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.

What does the SEC record show?
A Form D is the short notice an issuer files for an exempt offering; each amendment here has refreshed the amount reported sold and the investor count rather than changing the $40,178,939 offering size or the $25,000 minimum. Rule 506(c) lets the sponsor advertise publicly but requires it to verify that every buyer is accredited.

Amounts, investor counts and minimums are as filed with the SEC on Form D. The change lines are Top1031’s arithmetic between consecutive filings; a new Form D notice starts a new count.
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.
Common questions
- Is Domain at Town Centre an active offering?
- Domain at Town Centre is an Active offering: its latest Form D was filed Oct 1, 2026. A Form D filing does not by itself confirm that interests are still available; the sponsor or a registered representative can confirm what is open.
- Does Domain at Town Centre have a 721 UPREIT exit?
- The record lists a possible 721 exit for Domain at Town Centre. 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 is the minimum investment?
- The Form D filings for FREX DB Series I DST report a $25,000 minimum outside investment. Individual broker-dealers may set higher thresholds, and the offering documents control the actual subscription minimum.
- Who actually pays the rent?
- Students do. Domain at Town Centre is a 2012-vintage community serving West Virginia University, so income comes from many individual apartment leases rather than one corporate tenant. The Trust master-leases the property to FREX DB LeaseCo Series I LLC, a sponsor affiliate, whose initial capitalization the memorandum describes as supported by a $1,500,000 demand note from sponsor affiliate DST Holdings; the same memorandum names GREP Atlantic, LLC as property manager.
- How is student housing different from a single-tenant DST?
- Cash flow depends on re-leasing an entire community every academic year rather than on one company's rent check, so the leasing calendar matters. Sponsor material reported the property 93% occupied for the 2025–2026 academic year and 73% of beds pre-leased for 2026–2027, both stated as of March 13, 2026. Pre-leasing is not achieved occupancy, and those are dated offering figures, not verified current occupancy.
- What does the SEC record not tell me about this deal?
- A Form D discloses the offering size — $40,178,939 here — sales to date, the investor count and the minimum investment, and it does not describe the property. The purchase price, the seller, the mortgage and the master lease to an affiliated tenant all come from the sponsor's memorandum rather than from SEC filings. The offering documents are the only documents that settle them.
