DST Asset Classes

A Delaware Statu­to­ry Trust is an own­er­ship structure—not an asset class.

DST invest­ments may hold many types of com­mer­cial real estate, includ­ing mul­ti­fam­i­ly, stu­dent hous­ing, indus­tri­al, self-stor­age, med­ical office, retail, and oth­er sec­tors.

Each asset class has dif­fer­ent demand dri­vers, risks, ten­ant pro­files, financ­ing con­sid­er­a­tions, and mar­ket con­di­tions.

The DST is the struc­ture. The prop­er­ty is the invest­ment.
