How was it financed, and what did it cost to sell?
This is a leveraged Trust: a $74,589,000 Freddie Mac loan arranged through Arbor Agency Lending, LLC sits beneath the equity. 5 The offering page reports the loan is nonrecourse to investors, meaning the lender looks to the property rather than to investors personally. 5

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 Arbour Commons?
The April 2024 Form D amendment names CORE Pacific Advisors, LLC alongside CP Arbour Commons Depositor, LLC and CP Arbour Commons Manager, LLC as related parties, and is signed by Justin Morehead as President of the Manager. 6 Arbour Commons marked CORE Pacific's entry into the Denver apartment market in 2022. 3 The offering page reports that the Master Tenant intends to spend roughly $2.1 million on exterior repainting and rebranding, landscaping, and refurbishment of the clubhouse, pool, fitness room and BBQ area. 10
What does the SEC record show?
The SEC record here is thin: an original notice at launch, then a single amendment that reported the first sale as October 21, 2022 and updated the offering's progress and related parties. 8 It may be offered under a private-placement exemption that permits public advertising, with sales limited to investors whose accredited status is verified.

Amounts, investor counts and minimums are as filed with the SEC on Form D. The change lines are Top1031’s arithmetic between consecutive filings; a new Form D notice starts a new count.
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 Arbour Commons?
- Arbour Commons is a Historical offering. Last Form D filed Apr 9, 2024.
- What does this Trust actually own?
- A single asset: Arbour Commons, a 394-unit Class A garden-style apartment community at 663 W. 148th Avenue in Westminster, Colorado, in the north Denver corridor. CORE Pacific Advisors acquired it for $150 million in 2022 from seller McWhinney, in a transaction brokered by Walker & Dunlop. CORE Pacific's asset page says the community was built in 2014 on approximately 28 acres.
- Who is the tenant if this is an apartment building?
- Two layers. Individual residents sign ordinary apartment leases, and the Trust in turn leases the whole property to CP Arbour Commons MT, LLC — a sponsor affiliate acting as Master Tenant. The Baker 1031 offering page reports the initial master-lease term runs about ten years with one five-year renewal option, and that CORE Realty Holdings Management, Inc. provides on-site management. In this structure investors do not manage or re-lease units.
- Is there a mortgage on the property, and could I be personally liable?
- Yes, there is debt. The Baker 1031 offering page reports a $74,589,000 Freddie Mac loan placed through Arbor Agency Lending, LLC, and describes it as nonrecourse to investors — meaning the lender's remedy is the property itself, not investors' personal assets. Loan terms, covenants, and any refinancing rights are set out in the Trust's offering documents.
- Can I roll out of this into a REIT later?
- The record for this Trust does not provide for a 721/UPREIT exit — the mechanism by which some DSTs contribute the property to a REIT in exchange for operating-partnership units. Top1031's data shows no REIT conversion feature here, so an investor's exit path depends on a sale or refinancing of the property as described in the offering documents.
- What isn't in the public record?
- Several things a buyer would want. There is no current occupancy figure, no confirmation that the roughly $2.1 million of planned upgrades has been completed or that the rebrand is finished, no updated loan balance or refinance disclosure, and no sale or full-cycle outcome reported. The property website advertises a move-in concession, but it carries no publication date, so it cannot be tied to a specific leasing period.
