The asset is Kool Storage at 2517 TX-35 in Rockport, on the Texas Gulf coast, identified by name and address in a 2023 equity interest purchase agreement filed with the SEC. 2 AltsWire reported the offering comprised a single 480-unit climate-controlled self-storage property. 3 A later SEC proxy states the Rockport property was contributed to a Southern Star-sponsored DST in May 2023 in exchange for 100% of its beneficial interests. 4 No located source gives a year built or an original purchase price.

How was it financed, and what did it cost to sell?
A 2024 SEC proxy filed by Silver Star Properties describes the trust assuming a $4,935,000 loan secured by the Rockport property as part of an $8,368,109 sale of beneficial interests. 4 That makes this a leveraged deal — mortgage debt sits ahead of investors in the capital stack.

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 sponsored self-storage DSTs from 10190 Katy Freeway in Houston, Texas. 1 Its platform was affiliated with Silver Star Properties REIT, which announced on May 1, 2024 that monthly distributions to Southern Star-sponsored DSTs were suspended effective April 15, 2024 pending an examination of Southern Star's operations, and that specific asset sales and trust dissolutions were under consideration. 5 That announcement does not confirm a completed Rockport sale. 5

What does the SEC record show?
The trust reported a first sale on May 30, 2023 and a $100,000 minimum investment, and no amendment has followed. 1 Units were offered privately rather than publicly advertised, meaning they went to accredited investors — people meeting SEC income or net-worth tests — through the sponsor's existing relationships.

- 506(b) is the private-placement exemption that bars general advertising.
