ExchangeRight, one of the nation’s leading providers of diversified REIT and DST investments, has announced the launch of new Class D shares for its Essential Income REIT and the consolidation of its Class I, D, S, and A share classes in a single Private Placement Memorandum (PPM) along with the launch of a new consolidated webpage. These enhancements are designed to improve accessibility, streamline transactions, and expand availability across major custodial platforms.

In contrast to the Essential Income REIT’s Class I, D, S, and A share classes, which provide access to a quarterly redemption program, the REIT’s ER shares provide profit participation in addition to the underlying cash flow and growth potential of the REIT in exchange for a 5-year hold. Class ER shares will continue to have their own separate PPM and offering documents. Each updated PPM will also have only one set of subscription documents for their respective share classes for ease of reference and transaction processing.

The newly launched Class D shares are specifically designed for registered investment advisors and custodial platforms and offer one of the lowest fee structures in the industry. The Class D shares feature a current monthly net tax-efficient income of 6.10% annualized and will allow for a more streamlined transaction and ongoing investment tracking experience across custodial platforms.

The REIT’s Class I shares will continue to serve as the REIT’s institutional share class, but now with a new minimum investment amount of $25,000,000, geared toward larger institutional allocations intended to accelerate the REIT’s acquisition opportunities and aggregation strategy. This updated minimum will have no impact on current Class I investors.

“These enhancements represent our continued commitment to operational excellence and investor-centered offerings,” said Joshua Ungerecht, a managing partner at ExchangeRight. “With streamlined documentation and broader platform access, we’re excited to empower representatives and advisors to more easily connect investors with our historically recession-resilient net-leased real estate strategy.”
