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?
Southern Star Storage is a self-storage sponsor whose operating company, Southern Star Self-Storage, was acquired by Silver Star Properties REIT in April 2023 as part of Silver Star's pivot to self-storage; that platform then spanned nine properties, 321,291 net rentable square feet and 2,526 units. 4 On April 30, 2024, Silver Star said monthly distributions to Southern Star-sponsored DSTs had been suspended effective April 15, 2024 while it examined Southern Star and its sponsored trusts, without naming this one. 5

What does the SEC record show?
No amendment ever followed the original Form D, so the SEC file itself never reported a sale, a closing, or a change in terms. The Trust was offered under Rule 506(b), a private-placement exemption that bars general advertising and limits sales to accredited investors — people meeting SEC income or net-worth tests — the sponsor already knew.
