What exactly is the property?

Kingsbarn announced on November 21, 2022 that it had acquired a five-building creative office campus on Mill Creek Drive in south Orange County.

Chapter 3

Who is the tenant, and what's the lease?

This is a multi-tenant office property rather than a single-tenant net lease, so income depends on many leases rolling at different times. Kingsbarn's brochure named Centercode, SpineArt USA and MemorialCare Home Health among major tenants and reported the campus 81.5% leased, excluding master-leased space.2 No later occupancy figure is public.

How did it end?

What happened

No sale or other ending on record

City of Laguna Hills records dated October 28 and November 12, 2024 name KB Mill Creek, DST among the Kingsbarn entities applying to redevelop the Mill Creek property and describe Kingsbarn as the owner of approximately 19 acres; the City's project page records Terravita approved on February 24, 2026, while 2026 coverage reports demolition of the vacant offices, supporting continuing ownership/development rather than a disclosed DST sale, liquidation, 721/UPREIT conversion, or foreclosure (City of Laguna Hills; Kingsbarn; The Real Deal).

The sponsor offering PDF identifies KB Mill Creek as a creative office campus at 23332, 23382 and 23422 Mill Creek Drive, Laguna Hills, CA 92653, renovated in 2017. The offering PDF states 162,821 rentable square feet, while the Kingsbarn acquisition coverage describes the five-building campus as 233,974 rentable square feet; both figures are reported without resolving the apparent scope difference.

Chapter 5

How is it financed, and what does it pay?

Kingsbarn's brochure describes a leveraged deal: investor equity sitting above roughly $24.8 million of non-recourse debt within total investment cost of $52.35 million.2 Non-recourse means the lender's remedy runs to the property, not to investors personally. Neither the Form D nor the reviewed public record names the lender.

Chapter 7

What does the paperwork say?

The Trust's Form D was an original notice rather than an amendment, and reported a first sale on December 5, 2022.1 The exemption it claims allows general advertising but requires the sponsor to verify that every purchaser is an accredited investor. Nothing further has been filed with the SEC since.

Common questions

What happened to KB Mill Creek?

Top1031 lists KB Mill Creek as historical. It is no longer raising money.

Where does Top1031 get the data for KB Mill Creek?

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 KB Mill Creek, DST actually own?

A creative office campus in Laguna Hills, California. The Kingsbarn offering brochure identifies 23332, 23382 and 23422 Mill Creek Drive — three buildings on roughly two acres, built in 1988 and 1989 and renovated in 2017. Kingsbarn's November 2022 acquisition announcement describes a broader five-building campus in the same location; the public record does not separately allocate that purchase to this Trust.

Why do two different square-footage figures appear for this property?

The sponsor's offering PDF states 162,821 rentable square feet for the three Mill Creek Drive buildings, while coverage of Kingsbarn's campus acquisition describes 233,974 rentable square feet across five buildings. Both are reported here as published. The apparent difference is one of scope — three addresses versus the wider campus — but no reviewed source reconciles the two figures.

Is the office campus being converted to housing?

There is an approved residential project covering overlapping addresses. An October 2024 SB 330 preliminary application to the City of Laguna Hills named KB Mill Creek DST among applicant entities for a project of 464 units. The City's project record shows Terravita, covering the three Mill Creek Drive addresses plus others, approved by the Planning Agency on February 24, 2026, and a June 10, 2026 Kingsbarn release reports city council approval of an 18.5-acre, 480-unit plan. Neither record allocates that project solely to this Trust.

Is this a triple-net, single-tenant deal?

No. It is a multi-tenant office campus. The brochure lists tenants including Centercode, SpineArt USA and MemorialCare Home Health, with SpineArt at roughly 12,058 square feet expiring May 2027 and Full Spectrum Group at 4,999 square feet expiring July 2027, and reported 81.5% leased occupancy excluding master-leased space. Current occupancy and tenant status are not publicly confirmed.

Was this Trust in bankruptcy?

No, based on the reviewed court records. A July 23, 2026 calendar for the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Central District of California shows the trustee of KB Mill Creek DST as a defendant in an adversary proceeding tied to another debtor's Chapter 11 case, and shows that proceeding dismissed by court-approved stipulation. The Trust itself is not identified as the debtor.

Who is allowed to invest, and is the offering still open?

Only accredited investors. The Trust is offered under Rule 506(c), which permits public advertising in exchange for the sponsor verifying each buyer's accredited status. Top1031 shows the Trust as raising based on the single Form D on record; that Form D stated the offering was not intended to last more than one year, and no amendment has been filed since December 2022, so confirm current availability with the sponsor and the PPM, the private placement memorandum.
