Common questions
What happened to Vue Apartments?
Top1031 lists Vue Apartments as historical. It is no longer raising money.
Where does Top1031 get the data for Vue Apartments?
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 Pacific Oak The Vue DST?
Probably not. The single Form D on record was filed March 6, 2023, before any sale had occurred, and was never amended, so the SEC file carries no later report. JRW Investments, a firm that markets 1031 programs, lists The Vue DST as closed with an investment date of February 1, 2023. Availability for any specific offering has to be confirmed with the sponsor or the selling broker-dealer.
What exactly does the trust own?
The sponsor identifies Vue Apartments in Des Moines, Iowa 50309 as a Pacific Oak DST property — a three-building multifamily community. The operating property marketed as Vue sits at 922 8th Street in downtown Des Moines. No located public record confirms the trust's legal title holder, the purchase price, or the seller.
Who is the tenant?
There isn't one. This is an apartment community, so cash flow comes from many residents on short-term leases — Apartments.com shows 12-month terms among the options — rather than from a single corporate tenant on a long lease. Apartments.com names Indigo Living as the property manager, and no located source states an occupancy rate.
Is the trust leveraged?
The public record does not say. The Form D does not disclose debt, and research through August 30, 2026 found no lender, loan amount, or loan-to-value figure for this trust. A prospective investor would have to read the private placement memorandum (PPM), the sponsor's full offering document, to see the capital structure.
Could this become a REIT interest through a 721/UPREIT exit?
Nothing in the record indicates it. A 721/UPREIT exit is when a DST's property is contributed to a real estate investment trust in exchange for operating-partnership units; the data on this trust shows no such conversion feature, and the Form D describes no REIT roll-up.
What are the biggest gaps in the public record here?
Acquisition price, seller, title holder, debt terms, occupancy, and any distribution history. Only one Form D exists for this trust, and DSTs offered under Rule 506(b) file no ongoing SEC reports. Any figure beyond the Form D and public property listings would have to come from the sponsor's PPM or investor reporting.
