How was it financed, and what did it cost to sell?
Peachtree reported the Kennesaw hotel among three DST acquisitions it closed debt-free — meaning no mortgage sits above investors — though that statement covered the three-property group rather than a Kennesaw-only capitalization. 4 No property-level lender or loan appears in the SEC record for this Trust.

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 the Trust?
Peachtree Group is an Atlanta-based hotel investor, lender and manager; the Form D names Peachtree Hotel Group II, LLC as the sponsoring entity. 5 Kennesaw was among the firm's earliest hotel DSTs, reported as part of a three-property closing announced February 6, 2024. 4 On January 20, 2026 Peachtree said its DST platform had grown to 12 trusts totaling roughly $320 million, including about $200 million across six debt-free acquisitions during 2025. 6

What does the SEC record show?
The Trust's first sale is reported as March 29, 2023, days after the initial notice was filed. 7 Two amendments followed, each updating the raise's progress rather than changing the deal. It was offered privately, without general advertising, to accredited investors — people meeting SEC income or net-worth thresholds.

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 Courtyard by Marriott Atlanta Kennesaw?
- Courtyard by Marriott Atlanta Kennesaw is a Historical offering. The last Form D, filed May 16, 2024, reports the offering fully sold.
- If it's a hotel, who pays the rent?
- Nobody. Unlike a net-leased drugstore or industrial building, a hotel has no tenant signing a long-term lease. Revenue comes from nightly guests, and the property operates under the Courtyard by Marriott franchise brand. That means investor cash flow moves with occupancy, room rates and operating costs, which can change quarter to quarter.
- Was there a mortgage on the property?
- Peachtree Group stated that the Courtyard Atlanta Kennesaw was part of a group of three DST acquisitions bought debt-free, announced February 6, 2024. That statement described the three properties together, not a separately disclosed Kennesaw capitalization, and no lender appears in the Trust's SEC filings. A prospective buyer of a secondary interest would confirm current debt status in the offering documents.
- Could this Trust convert into a REIT?
- The record shows no 721/UPREIT feature — the structure in which a DST's property is contributed to a REIT's operating partnership in exchange for units, deferring tax but ending the ability to do another 1031 exchange on that asset. This Trust is recorded as not offering that path.
- What did Peachtree Group say it planned to do with the hotel?
- The sponsor's case study describes a value-add approach: renovating the lobby, corridors and guestrooms, and directing marketing toward Kennesaw State University demand and returning corporate accounts. Those are sponsor-stated plans; no completed renovation scope, cost or result was found in the public record.
