Griffin Capital Tulsa BTR DST

Offering Overview

A 138-home build-to-rent (BTR) single-family rental community on approximately 15.53 acres at 11131 South Kennedy Court, Jenks, Oklahoma (Tulsa MSA), constructed in 2022-2023 and being rebranded Meadow + Main (formerly Trulo Homes Jenks), comprising one-, two-, and three-bedroom detached homes totaling roughly 141,500 net rentable square feet with 317 parking spaces. The Trust acquired the Property in January 2026 from an unaffiliated seller for $37,250,000, approximately $1,050,000 (2.7%) below the $38,300,000 November 2025 appraised value. Capitalization is $23,520,998 of equity plus a $20,455,000 JLL Real Estate Capital loan (10-year term, 5.07% fixed, interest-only for the full term, maturing February 1, 2036), a 46.5% loan-to-value. The Property is leased to an affiliated Master Tenant (Griffin - Tulsa Master Tenant, LLC) under an absolute-net master lease in which Base Rent covers debt service and Additional Rent funds investor distributions, with the Master Tenant subleasing the homes to residents. Monthly distributions are forecast to begin at 4.42% and rise to 5.76% by Year 10 (approximately 4.82% average) driven by Tulsa-market rent growth (projected at 4.6% in 2026 and roughly 3.1% average annually over ten years). Sponsored by Griffin Capital (via affiliate GRPPX; founded 1995, with over $24 billion in sponsored programs and over $300 million of co-investment); the Manager, Master Tenant, and Dealer Manager are Griffin affiliates. The exit is anticipated as a sale before the February 2036 loan maturity, with a minimum hold of approximately two years.

Investment Highlights

• The offering provides exposure to the build-to-rent / single-family-rental subsector, which benefits from the homeownership affordability gap and growing demand for detached rental product with private yards and parking that conventional multifamily cannot replicate. The asset is newly built (2022-2023), implying minimal near-term capital expenditure and a modern, amenitized product, and BTR communities historically exhibit lower resident turnover than stacked apartments, supporting income durability.
• The Property was acquired at $37,250,000, roughly $1,050,000 (2.7%) below its $38,300,000 appraised value, providing a modest day-one equity cushion on a recently completed asset. The discount is small in percentage terms, so the margin of safety is real but thin against the 46.5% leverage.
• Financing is moderate and rate-locked: a $20,455,000 loan from JLL Real Estate Capital at a fixed 5.07%, interest-only for the full 10-year term, at 46.5% loan-to-value, delivering a healthy 2.04x Year 1 debt-service coverage and maximizing current distributions. The structural cost is that interest-only payments build no principal equity, leaving the full $20,455,000 to balloon at the February 2036 maturity, and prepayment provisions (a minimum 1% fee) constrain early-exit flexibility.
• The Property sits in Jenks, an affluent suburb within the Tulsa MSA, a growing secondary market where rents are projected to increase 4.6% in 2026 and roughly 3.1% on average annually over ten years. This rent-growth trajectory is the engine of the distribution ramp from 4.42% to 5.76%, channeled to investors through the master lease's Additional Rent, though the upside is operational and market-dependent rather than contractually fixed.
• The sponsor is an established institutional platform: Griffin Capital, founded in 1995, has owned, managed, sponsored, or co-sponsored investment programs representing over $24 billion in assets, with senior executives and employees co-investing over $300 million across strategies, providing a measure of alignment. The trade-off is that the Manager, Master Tenant, and Dealer Manager are all Griffin affiliates, concentrating operational, leasing, and distribution roles within the sponsor family rather than diversified third parties.

Analyst Notes

Griffin Capital Tulsa BTR is a moderately leveraged, core-plus build-to-rent residential DST whose return blends a modest, rent-growth-driven current yield (4.42% rising to 5.76%, approximately 4.82% average) with terminal value, on a single newly built 138-home single-family rental community in the Tulsa MSA, structured through an affiliated absolute-net master lease. The investment case rests on the secular BTR/SFR demand story and Tulsa rent growth (roughly 3.1% annually forecast) applied to a recently completed asset acquired modestly below appraised value, with fixed 5.07% interest-only financing locking the cost of debt and supporting solid 2.04x coverage. It is closest in profile to the ledger's leveraged multifamily holdings (BR Churchill Downs, BR Parkview) but in the single-family build-to-rent format, a smaller secondary market, and with no 721 exit option, the realization being a straight sale before the 2036 loan maturity. The dominant risk-adjusted considerations are single-asset and single-market concentration, lease-up and rebrand execution risk against a forecast that assumes occupancy and rent thresholds, a thin day-one cushion, higher per-unit SFR operating costs, and a 10-year interest-only balloon with a refinancing or sale wall at maturity in a less-liquid market. Underwriting feasibility hinges on realizing the projected occupancy and rent trajectory; current distributions are supported by in-place operations, but the ramp and the exit pricing carry the bulk of the return, and the 14.07% upfront load is a meaningful drag on net proceeds.
