KB Exchange Trust Purchases Townhome Community in Columbus, Ohio

**Columbus, OH (September 6, 2017)** – KB Exchange Trust (“KB”) acquired the Preserve at Winchester Crossing for $18.8 million as part of its expanding Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) investment program. The property consists of 189 two-story, condo-mapped townhomes that are part of a 210-townhome community in Columbus, Ohio.

“Our 1031 exchange investors have requested the addition of multifamily properties to our investment offerings. The acquisition of the Preserve at Winchester Crossing is our direct response to our investors’ needs and wants for portfolio diversification,” stated KB Exchange Trust managing partner Jeff Pori.

“The location, adjacent to an upscale grocery center and within blocks from a major highway on-ramp that provides excellent access to Downtown Columbus, makes this property a very attractive asset for us to offer to our investors,” added to KB Exchange Trust EVP Jeff Farnsworth.

The Preserve at Winchester crossing is situated on 21.69 acres accessing Winchester Pike in Groveport, Ohio, part of the Columbus Metropolitan Statistical Area. A total of 158 townhomes was constructed in 2016 during Phase II, while 31 were built in 2005 as part of the first phase. The 189 townhomes are contained within 28 separate buildings, in addition to a clubhouse.

Denizen Management, the assigned third-party property manager based out of Carmel, Indiana, forecasts a steady increase in the property’s income through rental increases that will be implemented over the next three years. It is anticipated that there will be upside in the rental income through the incremental renovation of the 31 townhomes that were part of the community’s Phase I development.

With a population estimated at more than two million, Columbus has one of the fastest-growing population rates in Ohio and outside the Sun Belt. Featured in Money Magazine’s “The Six Best Big Cities,” Columbus was ranked as “The Best in the Midwest.” The region boasts a highly-educated workforce with excellent wage growth. Columbus has emerged as a technologically-sophisticated city and is home to the world’s largest private research and development foundation, the Battelle Memorial Institute, and Ohio State University, the nation’s third-largest collegiate campus. Other top employers include JP Morgan Chase, Ohio Health, Nationwide Insurance, Mt. Carmel Health Systems, Honda of America, and Kroger.
