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 The Grove at Mankato?
The Grove at Mankato is a Historical offering. Last Form D filed Sep 30, 2022.
What does the Trust actually own?
A 524-unit apartment community at 200 and 100 Briargate Road and 240 and 235 Jaycee Court in Mankato, Minnesota. Kingsbarn materials describe 26 buildings on more than 31 acres built in four phases between 1973 and 2016, and Interstate Development lists 1,079 beds. Finance & Commerce reported the Trust bought it for $70 million in a transaction dated August 3, 2022.
Is this student housing or conventional apartments?
Both descriptions get used. Kingsbarn told Finance & Commerce in August 2022 that the property was 70% to 80% student-occupied but operated as a traditional apartment community — 12-month leases rented by the unit, not by the bed, which is the conventional multifamily model rather than the bed-by-bed student housing model. Minnesota State University, Mankato is the demand driver either way.
How much debt is on the property?
The public record does not say. Finance & Commerce reported a $28.39 million down payment on the $70 million purchase but did not state a loan amount or lender, and no SEC filing discloses the Trust's leverage. A prospective investor would find the loan terms, lender and any lockout or prepayment provisions in the offering documents.
Can investors roll into a REIT at the end?
Nothing in the record indicates a 721/UPREIT exit — the arrangement where a DST's property is later contributed to a REIT's operating partnership in exchange for units. Top1031's data shows no REIT conversion feature for this Trust. Confirm the exit mechanics described in the offering documents before relying on any particular endgame.
What was the minimum investment?
The September 30, 2022 Form D amendment states a $100,000 minimum, down from the $370,000 minimum shown in the original August 5, 2022 filing and its August 18, 2022 amendment. Minimums stated in a Form D reflect the offering as of that filing date and can differ from what a selling broker-dealer applies.
