Essential Income 4 DST Fully Subscribed, Providing Accelerated Access to the Essential Income REIT

PASADENA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ExchangeRight, one of the nation’s leading providers of diversified real estate REIT and DST investments, has announced the full subscription of Essential Income 4 DST. This full subscription is part of the company’s Essential Income DST series, designed to provide investors with accelerated access to the Essential Income REIT via a tax-deferred Section 721 exchange after a two-year hold period. Essential Income 4 DST is a closed offering and is not accepting new investors.

The $28.85 million portfolio of net-leased real estate is backed by primarily investment-grade tenants operating in necessity-based industries and provides investors with monthly distributions at a current rate of 5.50%. The portfolio comprises eight properties leased to Sprouts Farmers Market, Dollar General, CVS Pharmacy, and Advance Auto Parts, totaling 88,851 square feet of essential retail space across eight markets in four states.

The offering is fully covered by in-place rents and supported by a 20-year master lease guarantee from the Essential Income REIT and its Operating Partnership. The DST enhances tenant and geographic diversification while supporting ExchangeRight’s scalable aggregation strategy and REIT pipeline.

After approximately two years, the exit plan for DST investors is to complete a tax-deferred 721 exchange into the Essential Income REIT. The exit has been designed to provide investors pro rata access to the REIT’s monthly income, broader diversification, increased growth potential, enhanced liquidity, and estate planning advantages. The Essential Income REIT is currently invested in a diversified portfolio of 359 properties with long-term net leases backed by 39 historically recession-resilient tenants. There is no guarantee that the Essential Income 4 DST will achieve its exit strategy or investment objectives.

“We are encouraged by the continued demand for our Essential Income DST platform, which is structured to provide investors with accelerated access to ExchangeRight’s Essential Income REIT,” said Warren Thomas, a managing partner at ExchangeRight. “This platform is a cornerstone of our strategy, intended to serve the evolving needs of pre-retirement and retired investors, by delivering stable, passive income and enhanced diversification, value, and estate planning options through tax-deferred access to the REIT.” The past performance of ExchangeRight and its offerings does not guarantee future performance or exit optionality.
