Who is the tenant, and what's the lease?
No single corporate tenant sits behind this income — it comes from individual residents. Apartments.com lists lease terms of three to 18 months, so rents reset often rather than being locked in by a long triple-net lease, where one tenant covers taxes, insurance and upkeep.4 Avenue5 Residential, LLC is listed as the property's management contact.5
How did it end?
No sale or other ending on record
JRW Investments' sponsor tracker lists Starboard Arden DST as 'Active' (not Full Cycle), and no full-cycle announcement has been published on AltsWire, PR Newswire, BusinessWire, or the sponsor's newsroom; the underlying 308-unit Arden Woods property (Spring, TX) is still held by the trust, and an active securities-fraud lawsuit investigation by White Law Group is ongoing.
A court-exhibit caption directly associates Starboard Arden DST with Arden Woods; acquisition coverage describes the property as a 308-unit Class A garden-style apartment community. No news evidence that this Arden offering was fully subscribed, sold out, or closed was located.
308 unitsHow is it financed, and what does it pay?
Neither Form D discloses debt, and the reviewed public record does not establish a lender, mortgage balance, or loan-to-value for this Trust — so whether it is leveraged or all-cash is not publicly settled. Those terms would appear in the PPM, the private placement memorandum that governs the offering.
Who's behind it?
Starboard Realty Advisors, LLC is an Irvine, California sponsor; the SEC record lists the Trust's mailing address at 19100 Von Karman Avenue, Suite 340.7 Its Form D/A names William H. Winn as the sponsor's CEO, with Starboard Arden Depositor, LLC as depositor and Starboard Arden Manager, LLC as administrative trustee.6 On July 11, 2025 The White Law Group published an investigation notice naming Starboard Arden DST and its offering — a law-firm solicitation, not a finding of wrongdoing.

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.
DST interests are illiquid private securities. You may lose some or all of your investment. Distributions, tax treatment, and exit timing are not guaranteed. Review the current Private Placement Memorandum before investing.
Common questions
What happened to Arden Woods?
Top1031 lists Arden Woods as historical. It is no longer raising money.
Where does Top1031 get the data for Arden Woods?
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.
What property does Starboard Arden DST own?
Arden Woods, a 308-unit Class A garden-style apartment community at 24530 Gosling Road in Spring, Texas, in the northern Houston metro. Starboard Realty Advisors announced the acquisition in an April 15, 2022 release, and a Harris County appraisal record captioned "Starboard Arden DST (Arden Woods)" ties the Trust directly to the property.
Can I still invest in this Trust?
No. The Offering is closed to new investors. The last filing on record is the Form D amendment dated November 4, 2022, and the SEC submissions record for CIK 1933642 shows no later filing. JRW Investments' sponsor page also lists Arden DST's offering status as closed.
Who pays the rent at Arden Woods?
Individual apartment residents, not a single corporate tenant. Apartments.com lists lease options of three to 18 months, meaning the rent roll turns over continuously rather than being fixed by one long-term lease. Avenue5 Residential, LLC appears as the property's management contact.
How much debt is on the property?
Not publicly established. Form D does not require an issuer to disclose loan terms, and the reviewed public record does not identify a lender, mortgage principal, or loan-to-value for this Trust. Debt terms, if any, would be described in the PPM and the Trust's investor reporting.
Has there been any litigation or regulatory activity?
Two public items exist. The White Law Group published an investigation notice on July 11, 2025 referencing Starboard Arden DST and its offering; a law-firm investigation notice is not a legal finding. Separately, a Harris County property-tax appraisal matter filed August 24, 2023 was disposed as final, with the account value moving from $54,469,018 to $53,530,010.
What does Rule 506(b) mean for this offering?
506(b) is the private-placement exemption that lets an issuer sell without registering with the SEC, provided it does not advertise publicly and sells to accredited investors — people meeting SEC income or net-worth thresholds — typically ones the sponsor already had a relationship with. That is why this Trust was never marketed openly.
