Hines Global Income Trust acquired the 14-story building on June 21, 2023, reporting a net purchase price of approximately $72.6 million excluding transaction costs and closing prorations. 2 Hines said Willowick Residential, its multifamily property-management firm, would take over management. 1 The building's owner later reported it fully leased as of June 30, 2026. 3

How was it financed, and what did it cost to sell?

The trust's Form D filings and Hines's public announcements do not identify a lender or mortgage on EMME, so whether the trust carries debt is not established in the public record. A DST's offering documents would set out any loan terms.

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?

The trust reported September 20, 2023 as the date of its first securities sale. 8 Two amendments followed: the first recorded a partial raise, the second reported the offering fully sold. It was placed privately, without general advertising, with purchases limited to accredited investors — people meeting SEC income or net-worth tests.

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

What happened to EMME?
EMME is a Historical offering. Sold Mar 2024, as reported by Hines.
What does the trust own?
A single property: EMME, a 14-story Class A apartment tower at 165 N. Des Plaines Street in Chicago's West Loop/Fulton Market submarket. Sterling Bay originally developed it, and Hines Global Income Trust acquired it on June 21, 2023.
Is the property leveraged?
The public record reviewed does not establish it. Neither the trust's Form D filings nor Hines's announcements identify a mortgage, lender or loan balance tied to the DST. Investors in the offering would have received those terms in the offering documents.
Who is the tenant?
There isn't one. EMME is a 199-unit apartment building, so income comes from many individual residential leases rather than a single corporate tenant. Hines reported the property 96% leased as of September 30, 2023, and its owner reported it fully leased as of June 30, 2026.
Why do published offering sizes for this DST differ?
Hines and trade press described the completed offering as a $77 million private placement in March 2024, while the trust's Form D amendments report a different total offering amount. The two figures come from different sources and are not interchangeable; the Form D figures appear in this record's filing data.
