Chapter 3

Who is the tenant, and what's the lease?

Sponsor offering material describes the trust's cash flow as covered by a master lease — a single lease to an operating entity that keeps the trust itself out of day-to-day apartment management — based on in-place leases as of May 1, 2012.1 The public material names no master tenant, operator, or property manager.

Chapter 5

How is it financed, and what does it pay?

This is a leveraged trust: Thompson National Properties reported that the acquisition was financed with a fixed-rate Fannie Mae loan.2 Leverage means investor equity sits behind mortgage debt, and the lender's terms govern refinancing and the timing of any sale.

Chapter 7

What does the paperwork say?

The paperwork trail is short: the Form D notice — the brief SEC filing that reports an exempt private placement — records a first sale on August 31, 2012, and no amendment has followed.3 Interests were offered privately, without public advertising, to accredited investors meeting SEC income or net-worth tests.

How it may be offered
Rule 506(b)Not advertised publicly. Offered through existing relationships.

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 The Reserve Apartments & Townhomes?

Top1031 lists The Reserve Apartments & Townhomes as historical. It is no longer raising money.

Where does Top1031 get the data for The Reserve Apartments & Townhomes?

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 offering still open?

The public record does not settle that. The trust filed one Form D notice on October 5, 2012 reporting a partly sold offering, and no amendment, closing notice, or later filing appears on SEC EDGAR. Given the 2012 vintage, current availability would have to be confirmed with the sponsor directly.

Did this trust go full cycle?

Not established. Gray Capital's property page dates its acquisition of the matching 158-unit Evansville community to July 1, 2019 but does not name a seller, and no trust sale document was located. Top1031 records a disposition on that date while flagging the same gap. No outcome has been reported by the sponsor.

What does the master lease mean for a multifamily DST?

Apartment residents sign short-term leases, which a DST cannot actively manage without jeopardizing its tax treatment. A master lease places a single operating entity between the trust and the residents, so the trust receives rent under one lease while the master tenant handles leasing and operations. The offering excerpts do not name that master tenant.

Who is behind the trust?

Thompson National Properties, LLC of Irvine, California sponsored the offering, and its Form D lists both Thompson National Properties, LLC and Post Investment Group, LLC as directors and promoters. Thompson/Post Reserve Apartments Investments, LLC is listed as a further promoter.

Who can invest in a Rule 506(b) offering like this one?

Rule 506(b) is the private-placement exemption that bars general advertising and limits sales to accredited investors — individuals or entities meeting SEC income or net-worth thresholds — typically approached through an existing relationship with the sponsor or a placement broker. The Private Placement Memorandum, not the Form D, carries the full terms.

Is the property still operating?

Yes, as a rental. The Reserve Apartments and Townhomes at 700 Reserve Blvd. was still marketed as a 158-unit community offering 3-to-15-month leases, with availability shown as of February 13, 2026. That listing names no owner or manager, so it says nothing about whether the trust still holds title.
