Who is the tenant, and what's the lease?
BB&T anchored the tower under a lease running through March 31, 2023 with three five-year renewal options, alongside the Piedmont Club and Chicago Title as smaller tenants.1 The named landlord under all three leases was Winston-Salem LeaseCo, L.L.C., an entity wholly owned by IPC Corp. — a master-lease layer sitting between the Trust and its tenants.1

How is it financed, and what does it pay?
This was a leveraged Trust: the property carried a $15,360,750 first mortgage from Ladder Capital Finance I LLC, which the offering memorandum describes as non-recourse to investors — the lender's remedy was the property, not investors personally.1

What does the paperwork say?
The Trust filed an initial Form D — the short notice an issuer files with the SEC after its first sale of securities — then successive amendments through 2012 that stepped the reported sales figure up to the full offering amount. It was offered under Rule 506(b), the private route that bars general advertising, to accredited investors.

Common questions
What happened to BB&T Financial Center?
Top1031 lists BB&T Financial Center as historical. It is no longer raising money.
Where does Top1031 get the data for BB&T Financial Center?
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.
Can I still invest in this DST?
No. Winston-Salem Office DST is Historical — closed to new investors. Its 2012 Rule 506(b) offering was fully subscribed, and Inland Private Capital announced on January 6, 2015 that the property had been sold.[2] Any Trust that has sold its sole asset no longer has interests available for a 1031 exchange.
What outcome was reported when the Trust went full cycle?
Inland Private Capital's January 6, 2015 release said the BB&T headquarters tower sold for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $25 million. Top1031's reporting identifies Winston-Salem Office DST as the owner and states the sale closed the Trust, reporting a 120.53% total return to investors. Both figures are completed, published results, not projections.
Was the property the Trust's only asset?
Yes. Top1031's reporting identifies the BB&T Financial Center at 200 West Second Street as the sole property held by Winston-Salem Office DST, which is why the 2015 sale ended the Trust rather than reducing a portfolio.
Was the Trust leveraged or all-cash?
Leveraged. The offering memorandum describes a first mortgage from Ladder Capital Finance I LLC secured by the property and non-recourse to investors, meaning investors were not personally liable for repayment. Loan terms, extensions, and prepayment penalties should be read in the PPM itself.
What has happened to the building since the sale?
Triad Business Journal reported on August 11, 2026 that the former BB&T Financial Center at 200 W. 2nd St. was headed to a September auction with bidding starting at $300,000, and described the building as empty since 2021. That reporting does not name Winston-Salem Office DST and concerns the property long after the reported 2015 sale.
Did this Trust convert into a REIT through a 721 or UPREIT exit?
No. The record shows no REIT conversion; a 721/UPREIT exit is the alternative structure in which DST investors contribute their real estate interest to a REIT's operating partnership for REIT units instead of receiving sale proceeds. Here the exit was reported as a cash sale.
