Modern multifamily residence at sunset

Multifamily real estate, structured around investor solutions.

Access to multifamily real estate investment opportunities through Delaware Statutory Trust structures designed for eligible investors, including those exploring qualifying 1031 exchange strategies.

The Structure

Understanding Delaware Statutory Trusts

A Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) is a legal ownership structure that can allow multiple investors to hold beneficial interests in a trust that owns real estate.

DSTs are commonly used in connection with qualifying Section 1031 exchanges, allowing eligible investors to potentially defer capital gains taxes when exchanging qualifying investment real estate.

Rather than managing an entire property, investors acquire beneficial interests in a professionally managed real estate investment.

Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances. Consult your independent tax and legal advisors.

Why Investors Consider DSTs

An alternative approach to real estate ownership

01

1031 Exchange Considerations

Eligible investors selling qualifying investment real estate may explore DST interests as potential replacement property in a qualifying Section 1031 exchange.

02

Passive Real Estate Ownership

DST investors generally do not participate in day-to-day property management. Operations are handled by the sponsor and its designated management professionals.

03

Multifamily Exposure

Obtain beneficial ownership interests in multifamily properties without purchasing and managing an entire apartment community individually.

04

Portfolio Transition

For owners transitioning away from direct ownership, DSTs may provide another way to maintain qualifying real estate exposure.
