How was it financed, and what did it cost to sell?
Leveraged means mortgage debt sits above investor equity, so lender terms bind the property. Connect CRE reported on August 27, 2024 that a $48.75 million recapitalization closed with bridge financing from Benefit Street Partners, arranged by Hunter Hotel Advisors, with proceeds paying off the construction lender and funding an upfront reserve. 6

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.

Common questions
- What happened to Cambria Hotel Austin Downtown?
- Cambria Hotel Austin Downtown is a Historical offering. The last Form D, filed Aug 12, 2024, reports the offering fully sold.
- What property is behind this Trust?
- The Cambria Hotel Austin Downtown, a 212-key hotel at 68 East Avenue in Austin's Rainey Street district, appears to be the underlying asset. Be aware that primary public records do not reconcile the Trust with the hotel's title: separate reporting has attributed ownership to Pacific Hotel Austin, management to Azul Hospitality Group, and development and refinancing work to Stratus Development Partners. Confirm the ownership chain in the offering documents.
- What happened with the hotel's debt in 2024?
- Connect CRE reported on August 27, 2024 that Hunter Hotel Advisors arranged a $48.75 million recapitalization of the 212-key hotel, with bridge financing from Benefit Street Partners secured by Stratus Development Partners in collaboration with Choice Hotels International. Proceeds paid off the construction lender and funded an upfront reserve.
- Is there a 721 or UPREIT exit path?
- No. The record for this Trust shows no 721/UPREIT conversion feature, meaning there is no disclosed structure for exchanging beneficial interests into operating-partnership units of a REIT at exit. Any eventual outcome would come from a sale or refinancing of the hotel.
- Has anything been reported about investor outcomes?
- On May 3, 2025, The White Law Group published an investigation into potential FINRA arbitration claims on behalf of investors who reported losses in Moody Rainey DWTN Austin DST. That is a law-firm solicitation, not a finding or a judgment. No sale, further refinancing, or sponsor-reported outcome for the Trust was located through August 26, 2026.
