Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) Investments
Complete a 1031 exchange while transitioning from direct property ownership to passive ownership of institutional-quality commercial real estate.
What Is a Delaware Statutory Trust?
A Delaware Statutory Trust, or DST, allows multiple investors to own fractional interests in institutional-quality real estate.
For qualifying investors, a properly structured DST can serve as replacement property in a 1031 exchange—providing a way to defer eligible taxes while transitioning from direct property management to passive real estate ownership.
DSTs and 1031 Exchanges
A DST can provide a passive, pre-identified replacement-property solution within a 1031 exchange.

Defer
A 1031 exchange must be properly structured before the relinquished property is sold. Once a sale closes without the appropriate exchange structure in place, it may be too late to qualify for deferral.

Is a DST Right for Your 1031 Exchange?
A DST may be worth considering if you want to:
DSTs are long-term, illiquid investments and aren't appropriate for every investor. Investment objectives, liquidity needs, risk tolerance and individual tax circumstances should all be considered.
Investment First.
Tax Strategy Second.
Start with the asset, market, income potential and risk—then consider how a DST and 1031 exchange may improve the after-tax outcome.
A Growing Institutional DST Platform
Peachtree launched its DST platform in 2022 to give accredited investors access to institutional-quality commercial real estate through 1031 exchange-eligible investments.
The platform draws on Peachtree Group's broader capabilities across real estate investing, lending, development, asset management and operations to evaluate opportunities beyond their tax structure.
Each DST investment begins with the real estate itself: asset quality, market fundamentals, basis, income potential and long-term investment objectives. That same integrated platform actively oversees the asset throughout the investment lifecycle, from acquisition through eventual disposition.
