What is this, in one paragraph?
SRRT Benson DST is a Delaware statutory trust organized in 2025 — fractional, passive ownership of one property, usable as 1031 replacement real estate.1 It holds Benson Lights Apartments, a 2017-built apartment building with ground-floor bank space in Omaha, Nebraska.2 The Trust bought the property on October 10, 2025 and is now raising equity from accredited investors — those meeting SEC income or net-worth tests.3
Sponsor-reported, from SEC filings and cited sources.

What exactly is the property?
The residential building was completed in 2017; sponsor materials describe four stories holding 99 apartments plus an adjacent single-family home.2 The Trust bought it on October 10, 2025 through wholly owned subsidiary SRRT Benson, LLC from 60th NW Radial LLC, an unrelated third party.3 That memorandum gives the price two ways — $17,163,000 in one section, $17,100,000 in others.4 An Apprise by Walker & Dunlop appraisal put as-is value at $17,700,000 as of June 12, 2025.5

Who is the tenant, and what's the lease?
The Trust leases the entire property to SRRT Benson MT, LLC, an affiliated master tenant that operates the building and pays the Trust rent — the arrangement that keeps DST investors passive.6 Residents hold ordinary apartment leases; the ground-floor bank space sits under a triple-net lease, where the tenant covers taxes, insurance and maintenance.7
How are sales going?
These are the sponsor’s own numbers. They can lag what has actually sold, and they do not confirm that interests are still available.

How is it financed, and what does it pay?
Debt secured by the property came with the purchase, so an exchanger here replaces borrowed money as well as equity. SR Realty Trust's memorandum describes third-party financing with interest-only monthly payments in its early years.8 The same document lists a tax increment financing note — public redevelopment money — among the capital sources.9
- Financing
- Leveraged. This offering reports mortgage debt on the property.
Who's behind it?
SR Realty Trust introduced this offering in its November 2025 investor newsletter. The firm has bought in this market before, acquiring a 132-unit apartment property at 405 S. 16th Street in Omaha in December 2021. On July 2, 2026 it posted a sponsor-level supplement adding 2025 audited financials to its January 2026 private placement memorandum — the PPM being the disclosure document that governs an offering.

What does the paperwork say?
The notice on record — the brief filing an issuer makes for a securities sale exempt from SEC registration — is an original rather than an amendment, and it reports a first sale on February 11, 2026.10 The exemption claimed permits general advertising so long as the issuer verifies that every buyer is accredited.

Common questions
Is Benson Lights Apartments still raising money?
Availability unconfirmed. Active means a filing within the past 15 months; it does not by itself establish current subscription availability.
Where does Top1031 get the data for Benson Lights 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.
Is this Trust still open to new investors?
It is in its raising stage. One Form D is on record, indexed by EDGAR as filed March 9, 2026, and it is an original notice rather than an amendment, reporting a first sale on February 11, 2026. Web research through September 7, 2026 identified no later amendment, closing notice, or termination filing. A Form D on record is not proof that interests remain available today — SR Realty Trust is the only current source on availability.
What did the Trust pay for the property?
That is unresolved in the sponsor's own materials. SR Realty Trust's private placement memorandum states the Trust acquired Benson Lights Apartments on October 10, 2025 through wholly owned subsidiary SRRT Benson, LLC from 60th NW Radial LLC, an unrelated third-party seller, but gives the price as $17,163,000 in one section and $17,100,000 (or approximately that) in others, without reconciling them. Separately, an appraisal by Apprise by Walker & Dunlop reported an as-is market value of $17,700,000 as of June 12, 2025, using income capitalization as its primary method. The recorded deed is the independent check; the price itself is a question for the issuer.
Who is the tenant, and how does the lease work?
There are two layers. The whole property is master-leased to SRRT Benson MT, LLC, a Minnesota LLC wholly owned by the initial beneficiary — the standard DST arrangement in which one entity operates the property and pays the Trust rent. SR Realty Trust's memorandum states initial annual master-lease rent of $940,000 with 1.50% annual increases, and says the lease terminates upon the earlier of a sale of the property or ten years from commencement. Underneath, residents hold apartment leases and roughly 3,233 square feet of ground-floor commercial space is leased to First Interstate Bank on a triple-net basis, at annual rent the memorandum states as $55,284.30, with 5% escalations every five years and an anticipated expiration of March 12, 2027.
How is the offering capitalized?
SR Realty Trust's memorandum states a maximum capitalization of $20,339,000 and lists three components: $10,800,000 of equity, $9,539,000 of debt, and a $4,500,000 tax increment financing note. It describes the $9,539,000 as third-party indebtedness secured by the property, carrying a fixed annual interest rate of 5.025%, a term of approximately ten years from acquisition, and interest-only monthly payments during those initial ten years. How the TIF note is treated inside the stated total is not spelled out in the reviewed material — ask the sponsor for a clean sources-and-uses table. The Form D states a $500,000 minimum investment.
What is known about occupancy?
The most recent dated reading found is from the appraisal by Apprise by Walker & Dunlop, which reported occupancy of 98.0% as of its June 12, 2025 valuation and inspection date. SR Realty Trust's November 2025 investor newsletter, introducing the offering, listed 95% occupancy. Neither is a current figure; a dated rent roll is an item to request from the sponsor before a 45-day identification deadline runs.
What diligence limits does the sponsor disclose?
SR Realty Trust's memorandum states the property was acquired on an as-is basis with limited representations and warranties from the seller, and that the Trust did not obtain audited income statements from the seller. That means historical operating figures presented for the property do not come with an auditor's opinion behind them. The memorandum also carries the unreconciled acquisition-price disclosure described above. Both are questions for the issuer, and the PPM is the governing document on all of it.
