No SEC filing on record names the trust's property. Sponsor-side marketing lists a Murphy's Self Storage facility at 25 Murphy Road in North Franklin, Connecticut, managed by Osprey Storage. 5 The size figures shown here come from that marketing, and the link is unresolved: the DST listing page and the operator's own page for the same site give different unit counts. 4

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.
Who's behind Murphy's Self Storage?

What does the SEC record show?
The original notice and an amendment were filed the same day; the amendment reported subscriptions yet indicated first sale had not occurred, and said the offering was not intended to last more than one year. 3 The exemption used bars general advertising and limits buyers to accredited investors. Nothing has been filed since.

Common questions
- What happened to Murphy's Self Storage?
- Murphy's Self Storage is a Historical offering. Last Form D filed Oct 27, 2022.
- Who sponsors this DST?
- The Form D does not name a sponsor entity. It names Matthew Ricciardella and Michael Hammill as executive officers and managers of the sponsor. Top1031's data associates the trust with Osprey DST Investments, an affiliate of the Osprey Storage brand, but no filing on record establishes that link.
- What property does the trust actually own?
- No SEC filing names one. Sponsor-side marketing points to Murphy's Self Storage at 25 Murphy Road in North Franklin, Connecticut, operated by Osprey Storage. Because that page does not identify the trust as owner, and because the marketing and operating pages report different unit counts, the property link remains unresolved in the public record.
- Does the trust carry a mortgage?
- Unknown. Form D filings do not disclose property-level debt, and no loan documents, lender name, or all-cash statement appears in any source on record for this trust. Leverage, loan-to-value, and any interest-only period would be described in the offering documents.
- Could this trust convert into a REIT interest?
- Top1031's record shows no 721/UPREIT exit — the path where a DST's property is contributed to a REIT's operating partnership in exchange for units, converting a real estate interest into a securities interest. Absent that feature, the expected end is a sale of the property, though no exit terms are documented in the public record here.
