WHAT IS A DST?

Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs)

A Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) allows eligible investors to acquire fractional ownership in large, professionally managed commercial real estate. DSTs may qualify as replacement property in a 1031 exchange, helping investors defer eligible capital gains taxes while remaining invested in real estate.

Investors may receive a proportional share of cash flow, potential appreciation, and depreciation benefits when leverage is present, without the day-to-day responsibilities of property management.
