BREX Net Lease Industrial I is a single-asset DST holding a 2022-built, 221,999 SF Class A Amazon-leased warehouse in Everett, MA, an urban-infill submarket less than five miles north of downtown Boston. The property is 100% triple-net-leased to Amazon (AA/A1) with ~12 years of term, 2.5% annual escalations, and three renewal options; it was acquired in March 2026 for $155.4M and financed with an $84.0M PNC loan (SOFR+1.45% hedged to 4.837% effective fixed, 51.20% LTC). The thesis is investment-grade credit-tenant net-lease income with an optional Section 721 FMV rollover into the Brookfield REIT operating partnership over a ~7-year hold to loan maturity.
A single Class A, single-story industrial warehouse and distribution center, 221,999 SF (plus ~220,000 SF rooftop parking and 515 spaces; ~441,999 SF gross building area), constructed in 2022 at 34 Market Street, Everett MA, in a dense urban-infill submarket less than five miles north of downtown Boston. 5% annual rent increases, and three 5-year renewal options at 98% of fair market value.
20% loan-to-cost, and leases it to a Brookfield/BF REIT-affiliated Master Tenant. Exit options include an optional Section 721 FMV rollover into the Brookfield REIT (BF REIT) operating partnership for OP units or cash, with a ~7-year base-case hold to loan maturity.

The Property is 100% leased to Amazon (S&P/Moody's AA/A1), among the strongest corporate credits in net lease, on an absolute-triple-net basis. The lessee is Amazon.com Services LLC, the operating subsidiary, and the building is a purpose-built last-mile distribution facility integral to Amazon's Boston-market logistics, supporting renewal probability; the renewal options reset at 98% of fair market value, a modest below-market mechanic.
The lease is long-dated, with ~12 years of remaining term (base term to March 2046) and fixed 2.5% annual rent increases, providing durable, contractually escalating income well beyond the 7-year base-case hold and underpinning residual value at exit.
The asset occupies an irreplaceable infill location less than five miles north of downtown Boston in a dense, supply-constrained submarket with limited developable industrial land, a high-barrier last-mile position that supports both in-place rent and exit pricing; 2022 Class A construction and expandable loading capacity add functional durability.
The $84.0M PNC Bank loan (unaffiliated lender) at an effective fixed 4.837% generates positive leverage over the asset's in-place yield, lifting investor cash-on-cash to a 6.10% going-in and ramping to 7.96% by year 7, a materially higher current yield than unlevered net-lease DSTs. The interest-only structure maximizes distributions, but the full $84.0M balloons at the March 2033 maturity and the interest-rate hedge resets at the fifth anniversary.
The offering is sponsored by Brookfield (via Brookfield Real Estate Income Trust and its operating partnership), carries a comparatively low 7.50% total load with no separate acquisition fee, and provides an optional Section 721 UPREIT into BF REIT's operating partnership, a tax-deferred path into a large, diversified institutional REIT platform.
A debt-advantaged single-tenant net-lease DST anchored by a AA/A1 Amazon credit on a long-dated (~12-year, to 2046) absolute-triple-net lease with 2.5% annual escalators, in an irreplaceable urban-infill location less than five miles from downtown Boston. The 2022 Class A construction, a $155.4M purchase below the $158.0M appraised value, and effective fixed 4.837% PNC financing produce strong positive leverage, lifting cash-on-cash from 6.10% to 7.96% over the seven-year hold (~7.01% average), well above unlevered net-lease peers. The total load is low at 7.50% with no acquisition fee, the lender is an unaffiliated third party (PNC), Year 1 DSCR is a healthy 2.33x, and the optional Section 721 FMV option offers a tax-deferred rollover into Brookfield's institutional REIT platform.
The trust is a single asset with a single tenant, so all cash flow and residual value depend on Amazon's performance and the ultimate renewal of one lease; the lessee is the operating subsidiary (Amazon.com Services LLC) and renewal options reset at 98% of fair market value. The $84.0M loan is interest-only with the full balance ballooning at the March 2033 maturity, and the rate is fixed only via a hedge that must be extended or replaced at the fifth anniversary, introducing hedge-rollover and cost risk plus a refinancing wall at year 7 that the sponsor's own forecast assumes is met by raising additional investor capital. The master tenant is a thinly capitalized Brookfield affiliate funded through the Operating Partnership, and sponsor, master tenant, and 721 counterparty roles are concentrated within the Brookfield family. The site carries identified environmental conditions (an Activity and Use Limitation with sub-slab vapor-mitigation over residual subsurface contamination) and roof and membrane warranties of varying duration (expiring 2032-2042), and the specialized last-mile configuration concentrates re-leasing risk if Amazon vacates. Any 721 consideration would be units in a non-listed Brookfield REIT vehicle, illiquid with sponsor-controlled NAV.

BREX Net Lease Industrial I is an institutionally sponsored, leveraged single-tenant net-lease DST whose return is driven by positive financial leverage on a top-tier credit rather than operational upside: an effective fixed 4.837% loan lifts a contractually 2.5%-escalating Amazon income stream to a 6.10%-to-7.96% cash-on-cash ramp (~7.01% average) over a seven-year hold. The investment case rests on the durability of one AA/A1 tenant in an irreplaceable Boston infill location on a lease running to 2046, well beyond the hold, which supports residual value, while the comparatively low 7.50% load and unaffiliated PNC financing distinguish it from higher-fee, affiliated-lender DSTs. The dominant risk-adjusted considerations are single-asset and single-tenant concentration, the interest-only balloon and hedge reset at the 2033 maturity (the base-case exit point, with the forecast assuming additional capital is raised if the loan is extended), and the form and timing of the optional Section 721 conversion into Brookfield's non-listed REIT operating partnership. Underwriting feasibility is high on in-place contractual income given Amazon's credit and the long lease; the credible variance lies in exit pricing, refinancing conditions at year 7, and eventual UPREIT terms rather than in-place cash flow. No tax-equivalent yield is disclosed in the offering materials.

Brookfield
Brookfield is a global owner-operator of real assets with well over $1 trillion in AUM and roughly $31 billion in U.S. institutional real estate, and it reaches retail and exchange investors through the Brookfield Real Estate Income Trust. Its competitive advantage is operational rather than financial-engineering: deep in-house operating platforms across infrastructure, renewables and property allow it to drive value at the asset level. Backed by a perpetual-capital base and a 125-year institutional lineage, Brookfield brings owner-operator scale that few sponsors can replicate, with DST/non-traded vehicles a small slice of the whole.
