What is this, in one paragraph?
HREX 9, DST is a Delaware statutory trust — the structure that lets 1031 exchangers hold fractional interests in real estate — sponsored by Hines and currently raising. It holds two existing apartment communities: Life Time Living Coral Gables in Coral Gables, Florida, and Left Bank in Chicago's West Loop. AltsWire, citing Mountain Dell's 2025 year-end review, described it as the largest single DST ever offered.

What exactly is the property?
Both buildings came from Hines Global Income Trust, the sponsor's non-traded REIT. The REIT acquired Gables Station on August 26, 2022 for a net purchase price of about $429.4 million.2 The Real Deal reported that NRI and 54 Madison Partners completed the Life Time-branded campus in 2021 and sold it to Hines the following year for $430 million. It bought Left Bank, a 37-story West Loop tower, in November 2025 at a contract price of $151.0 million.3

Who is the tenant, and what's the lease?
These are apartment communities leased to individual residents, not one corporate tenant, so income tracks the rent roll. Hines Global Income Trust lists Life Time, Trader Joe's, Graziano's and Erba as retail tenants at the Coral Gables campus.4 A broker-dealer page refers to a master lease above them: an affiliate leases the buildings from the Trust and operates them.5
How are sales going?
These are the sponsor’s own numbers. They can lag what has actually sold, and they do not confirm that interests are still available.
Raise history appears here once sales are filed — free account required.
How is it financed, and what does it pay?
The Form D discloses nothing about property-level debt, and no lender tied to this Trust appears in the record.1 A broker-dealer offering page describes the Trust as all-cash and debt-free — owning the buildings outright, with no mortgage to refinance and no lender consent needed at a sale.5
Who's behind it?
The filing names Hines Real Estate Exchange, LLC as sponsor, with HREX 9 Depositor, LLC as depositor and HREX 9 DST Manager, LLC as administrative trustee.1 Institutional Real Estate, Inc. reported on June 11, 2026 that Hines Private Wealth Solutions' DST platform had surpassed $1.1 billion in offerings, with HREX 8 the most recently completed at $145 million. CRE Daily reported on August 7, 2026 that Hines Real Estate Exchange ranked second among DST sponsors year to date, at $537.6 million raised and a 9.8% market share.

What does the paperwork say?
A Form D is the public notice a sponsor files after starting a private offering; it names the sponsor and trustee but not the properties or any loan.1 Interests are sold privately, without general advertising, and only to accredited investors — those meeting the SEC's income or net-worth tests.

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
Is Life Time Living Coral Gables; Left Bank still raising money?
Top1031 lists Life Time Living Coral Gables; Left Bank as active because the sponsor is still filing with the SEC. That does not confirm that interests remain available.
Where does Top1031 get the data for Life Time Living Coral Gables; Left Bank?
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 does HREX 9, DST actually own?
Two existing apartment communities totaling 946 units and roughly 957,847 square feet. One is Life Time Living at Gables Station, 225 South Dixie Highway in Coral Gables, Florida, which Hines Global Income Trust describes as 495 units across 612,992 square feet, with Life Time, Trader Joe's, Graziano's and Erba as retail tenants and Willowick Residential as property manager. The other is Left Bank, a 37-story tower at 300 North Canal Street in Chicago's West Loop, reported by the same REIT at 451 units and 345,320 square feet. The Form D filed December 15, 2025 does not name the properties — the binding property schedule sits in the Private Placement Memorandum, the offering's full disclosure document.
Who legally owns the buildings today?
Hines Global Income Trust, the sponsor's non-traded REIT, presents itself as owner of both. Its closing Form 8-K records the Gables Station purchase on August 26, 2022 at a net price of approximately $429.4 million, and its 2025 annual report records Left Bank as acquired in November 2025 at a contract price of $151.0 million. Both REIT property pages still reported REIT ownership as of June 30, 2026. Because the Trust — not the REIT — is the vehicle offered to exchangers, ask in writing for the title chain and the documents transferring each property into the Trust.
Does the Trust use debt?
The public record does not settle it. The Form D says nothing about property-level financing, and no mortgage or lender tied to this Trust was located in the filing on record, so this site records leverage as unknown. A broker-dealer offering page for HREX 9 describes the Trust as all-cash and debt-free, but that is distribution material rather than a primary record. The Private Placement Memorandum states the capital structure and any loan terms.
Can this Trust convert into a REIT interest?
This site's record shows no 721/UPREIT exit for the Trust — that is the transaction in which a trust's real estate is contributed to a REIT's operating partnership in exchange for units, after which investors hold REIT units rather than real estate and can no longer complete a further 1031 exchange. A broker-dealer offering page for HREX 9, however, describes a planned mandatory Section 721 contribution to Hines Global Income Trust. Those records conflict, and the Private Placement Memorandum controls, so read its exit, purchase-option and contribution provisions before subscribing.
How full are the buildings?
Reported occupancy varies by source and as-of date, so match every figure to its date. At December 31, 2025, occupancy was 97% at Gables Station and 94% at Left Bank. Hines Global Income Trust's property pages later report Gables Station 99% leased and Left Bank 97% leased as of June 30, 2026. A broker-dealer offering page reports roughly 96% aggregate occupancy at underwriting. Apartment occupancy moves month to month with turnover and lease expirations, so ask for a current rent roll and the as-of date behind any number a broker quotes.
What is the minimum investment, who can buy, and is it still available?
The Form D filed December 15, 2025 reports a $250,000 minimum investment and a Rule 506(b) offering, meaning interests are sold privately, without general solicitation, and only to accredited investors — those meeting the SEC's income or net-worth tests. Sponsors and selling broker-dealers can set higher minimums than the filing states. On availability, no amendment to that Form D appears in the SEC's submissions record for this issuer as of September 5, 2026, and secondary offering pages use conflicting status language, so confirm current availability with the sponsor or a selling broker-dealer and verify the minimum in the Private Placement Memorandum and subscription documents.
