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?
The Trust holds the property with mortgage debt alongside investor equity rather than owning it free and clear, so a lender's consent shapes any later sale or refinancing. Griffin Capital's investor presentation sets out the loan proceeds, the loan-to-offering-price ratio and an interest-only term. 1 No reviewed source names the lender.

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.

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
- Can I still invest in The Oaks at Riverbend?
- No new interests: The Oaks at Riverbend is reported fully subscribed. Top1031 lists it as recently fully subscribed and does not count it as an active offering.
- When and from whom did Griffin Capital acquire The Oaks at Riverbend?
- The Baton Rouge Business Report reported on May 27, 2025 that Griffin Capital had bought the 299-unit complex. That report does not establish the precise closing date or the price, and no recorded purchase price was found in the sources reviewed. The SEC record gives June 24, 2025 as the date of first sale of interests, but that is an offering milestone, not a property closing date. The offering documents are where acquisition terms are set out.
- Who operates the apartments day to day?
- Greystar, a national apartment operator, identifies itself as the professional manager of The Oaks at Riverbend. Griffin Capital's offering materials also describe a Master Lease structure, in which a master tenant owes rent to the Trust and engages the property manager; the master tenant's legal name was not established in the materials reviewed. DST investors have no operating role — the trustee, the master tenant and the sponsor control management decisions, and the offering documents name the operating parties and the terms of their agreements.
- Is there debt on the property?
- Yes. Griffin Capital's offering summary lists $28,285,000 of loan proceeds, and its investor presentation lists a 43.2% loan-to-offering-price ratio and a 10-year, interest-only loan term. Those figures sit against a sponsor-stated offering price of $65,414,367, which the sponsor defines as maximum equity offering plus loan proceeds rather than a recorded purchase price. The lender is not named in the SEC filings or in the materials reviewed, and these dated figures do not establish the debt outstanding today.
- How full was the property around the time of the offering?
- Griffin Capital reported property occupancy of 91.6% as of May 7, 2025. That is a historical snapshot taken before the raise launched, not a current reading; no later property-level occupancy figure appears in the public materials reviewed through October 1, 2026.
- What does owning through a DST mean for my 1031 exchange?
- A Delaware Statutory Trust holds title to the real estate and investors buy beneficial interests in the Trust. The IRS treats those interests as direct real property ownership for exchange purposes, so they can serve as replacement property. In return, investors give up control: they cannot force a sale or refinancing and have no say in leasing or capital decisions. This Trust is not recorded as structured for a 721/UPREIT exit — the alternative route in which a DST's property is later contributed to a REIT's operating partnership in exchange for REIT units.
