Offering Overview

A newly-built (2023) Class A garden-style apartment community, the District at Parkview, at 5141 Stone Mountain Highway, Stone Mountain GA 30087, in Gwinnett County (Atlanta Metro), on 15.55 acres with 264 units across 10 buildings totaling 255,117 net rentable SF (one-, two-, and three-bedroom plans averaging 966 SF). The Trust acquired the Property for ~$66.6M (~$1.5M below appraised value), financed with a $38,625,000 KeyBank/Fannie Mae DUS first mortgage (49.45% loan-to-capitalization, 5.18% fixed, interest-only, maturing January 2036) and equity. The business plan is a stabilized newly-built hold with rental-rate-growth upside driven by marketing/SEO and revenue-management initiatives, below-market rents (~41% discount to homeownership), and a 2026-2027 tax-assessment freeze, with a nationally recognized third-party manager (sub-manager RPM Living). The Property is leased to an affiliated Master Tenant (BHM Parkview Leaseco, LLC) under a 10-year master lease paying Base Rent (debt service), Additional Rent (monthly distributions, ~4.30% going-in), and Supplemental Rent (annual performance distribution). Gwinnett County leads the Atlanta Metro in population growth with forecast housing demand ~5x the current construction pace through 2040, and the site sits in an A- (Niche) school district. Exit options include an optional Section 721 FMV rollover into a Bluerock-affiliated (Bluerock Homes Trust; NYSE American: BHM) operating partnership.

Investment Highlights

  • The asset is newly-built 2023-vintage Class A product with top-of-market finishes and amenities (saltwater pool, 24/7 fitness center, club room, EV charging), acquired ~$1.5M below appraised value, providing a modest day-one equity cushion on new construction with minimal near-term capital needs.
  • The Property sits in a supply-constrained, high-growth submarket: Gwinnett County ranks #1 in Atlanta-Metro population growth (27% over the prior decade), with forecast housing demand ~5x the current pace of new construction through 2040 and an A- (Niche) school district, supporting occupancy and rent durability.
  • The rental-growth thesis is operational rather than physical: marketing/SEO and revenue-management initiatives, a ~41% discount to homeownership, and a 2026-2027 tax-assessment freeze are projected to lift cash-on-cash from 4.40% to 6.35% through performance-based Supplemental Rent, with no renovation program on the 2023-vintage asset.
  • Financing is a $38.625M KeyBank loan under the Fannie Mae DUS program, fixed at 5.18% and interest-only for the full 10-year term (maturing January 2036) at 49.45% loan-to-capitalization, delivering a 1.91x Year 1 DSCR. The interest-only structure maximizes current distributions, but the full principal balloons at maturity with prepayment and defeasance provisions that constrain the exit.
  • The master lease channels return through Base Rent (debt service), a flat ~4.30% Additional Rent monthly distribution, and Supplemental Rent (90% of revenue above a stated breakpoint), with an optional Section 721 FMV rollover into a Bluerock-affiliated (Bluerock Homes Trust; NYSE American: BHM) operating partnership as a tax-deferred exit; the affiliated master tenant retains the Base-Rent spread and 10% of Supplemental Rent.

Analyst Notes

BR Parkview Multifamily is a leveraged, newly-built Class A multifamily DST whose return profile mirrors Bluerock's other master-lease offerings: a modest ~4.30% contractual Additional Rent floor plus performance-linked Supplemental Rent that, if rent growth materializes, lifts cash-on-cash to ~6.35% and averages ~5.04% over a 7-10 year hold. Unlike a physical value-add play (e.g., the sponsor's Churchill Downs), the thesis here rests on operational and market-driven upside - marketing, SEO, revenue management, below-market rents, and a tax-assessment freeze - applied to a stabilized 2023-vintage asset in supply-constrained Gwinnett County, which is why it reads as core-plus rather than value-add. The Fannie Mae DUS fixed-rate interest-only loan provides solid 1.91x coverage and front-loads distributions but builds no equity and balloons in 2036, so terminal value hinges on NOI growth and exit pricing against a thin day-one basis discount. The after-tax profile is a meaningful draw (~8.78% average tax-equivalent yield on high depreciation shelter, ~86%-153% of cash flow). The dominant sensitivities are submarket rent growth and execution of the revenue-management plan, the post-2027 step-up in property taxes once the freeze expires, Atlanta-Metro multifamily supply, and refinancing or selling the balloon within the hold window; the optional Section 721 FMV conversion into a Bluerock-affiliated (Bluerock Homes Trust, NYSE American: BHM) operating partnership offers a tax-deferred alternative exit into an illiquid, sponsor-controlled vehicle.

Pros

A newly-built (2023) Class A multifamily asset in the supply-constrained, fast-growing Gwinnett County submarket of the Atlanta Metro, acquired ~$1.5M below appraised value at the in-place yield with minimal near-term capital needs and an A- school district supporting demand. Fannie Mae DUS fixed-rate financing at 5.18% provides a healthy 1.91x Year 1 DSCR with interest-only payments that maximize current distributions, and the master-lease Supplemental Rent gives investors performance-linked upside that ramps cash-on-cash from 4.40% to 6.35% (~5.04% average). Depreciation shelter is substantial (~86%-153% of cash flow sheltered; ~8.78% average tax-equivalent yield), a 2026-2027 tax-assessment freeze supports early NOI, and broad multifamily tailwinds (a national housing shortage, depressed new supply, and a widening homeownership affordability gap) reinforce the rental thesis. The optional Section 721 FMV option offers a tax-deferred rollover into a Bluerock-affiliated operating partnership.

Cons

The going-in distribution is modest at 4.30% (Base plus Additional Rent), and reaching the 6.35% forecast depends on revenue-management execution and organic rent growth clearing the Supplemental Rent breakpoint rather than fully contractual income. The day-one equity cushion is thin (acquired only ~$1.5M, ~2.2%, below appraised value) against 49.45% leverage, and the KeyBank loan is interest-only with the full $38.625M ballooning at the January 2036 maturity, with prepayment and defeasance provisions that constrain the 7-10 year exit window. The master tenant (BHM Parkview Leaseco) is a thinly capitalized Sponsor affiliate funded by an Operating Partnership demand note and retains the Base-Rent-to-breakpoint spread plus 10% of Supplemental Rent, partially misaligning upside. The Property is single-asset, single-market (Stone Mountain/Gwinnett), the rent-growth thesis is exposed to Atlanta-Metro multifamily supply and any submarket softening, and the tax-assessment freeze expires after 2027, after which property-tax expense may step up. Total load is high at ~13.67% of equity (including a 4.22% acquisition fee) plus a disposition fee, and the 721 consideration would be units in a Bluerock-affiliated operating partnership, an illiquid, sponsor-controlled vehicle.

About the Sponsor

Bluerock has sponsored syndicated 1031 exchanges for more than eighteen years, and its Bluerock Value Exchange (BVEX) arm packages multifamily, industrial and other core sectors into what it markets as 'Premier Exchange Properties.' Backed by a broader Bluerock platform of roughly $19 billion that also spans interval funds, the firm pairs institutional acquisition capability with a long DST track record across multiple cycles. Its national footprint and sector breadth position it as a diversified mid-to-large sponsor rather than a single-asset specialist.

Important Disclosures

This page describes a specific Delaware Statutory Trust offering (BR Parkview Multifamily, DST) and is provided for informational purposes only. It does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any security. Any offering is made solely to verified accredited investors and only by means of a confidential private placement memorandum (PPM).

All figures shown — including minimum investment, cash-flow projections, tax-equivalent yield, loan-to-value, and hold period — reflect the sponsor's current estimates and assumptions and are not guarantees of future performance. Tax-equivalent yield depends on each investor's tax circumstances; projected distributions may not be achieved and actual results will vary. Sponsor track record, benchmark data, and full-cycle averages describe prior programs and are not indicative of the results of this offering.

An investment in a DST is speculative, illiquid, and involves a high degree of risk, including the possible loss of the entire amount invested. There is no public market for these interests, distributions are not guaranteed, and investors have no control over property operations. 1031 exchange and tax treatment depend on each investor's individual circumstances and on tax laws that are subject to change; consult your own tax and legal advisors.

Tax-equivalent yield represents the pre-tax yield a fully taxable investment would need to generate in order to match the after-tax cash flow of this offering. It assumes that a portion of distributions is sheltered by depreciation and other deductions, and it depends entirely on each investor's individual tax bracket, state of residence, and holding structure. It is illustrative only and is not a projection of return. Cap rate equivalent is the implied capitalization rate (net operating income divided by purchase price) shown solely for comparison to direct real estate; it is not a distribution rate, a yield, or a measure of investor return.

This offering and all terms shown are subject to change, withdrawal, or cancellation at any time without notice, and availability is not guaranteed. Nothing on this page creates a commitment or reservation. An investment is confirmed only upon the sponsor's acceptance of fully executed subscription documents; no other communication, indication of interest, or reservation constitutes a binding investment.
