Urban Catalyst, a leading private real estate fund manager, has broadened its family of fund offerings to include Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs), it was announced today. The firm’s latest fund offering is the URBAN CATALYST INDUSTRIAL I, DST, a $9.8 million DST investing in a strategically located industrial property in Dallas, Texas. Urban Catalyst specializes in private equity investments in existing income-producing properties and ground-up development projects.
“We have professionally owned and managed portfolios of existing income-producing properties for many years. DSTs give our investors access to our experience and to quality real estate with 1031 tax advantages.”
A Delaware Statutory Trust provides investors who plan on selling or have recently sold a real estate property with the same potential tax advantages of a 1031 exchange. With a 1031 exchange, an investor may defer capital gains on the sale of a property, potentially generate passive monthly income and gain access to the institutional quality property and professional management. This “turn-key” solution to a 1031 exchange has been very popular with investors over the past few years.
“DSTs are a natural evolution for us,” said Erik Hayden, founder of Urban Catalyst. “We have professionally owned and managed portfolios of existing income-producing properties for many years. DSTs give our investors access to our experience and to quality real estate with 1031 tax advantages.”
