JLL Income Property Trust Completes Full Cycle Transactions in DST Platform

April 17, 2024 — Chicago

JLL Income Property Trust, an institutionally-managed daily NAV REIT (NASDAQ: ZIPTAX; ZIPTMX; ZIPIAX; ZIPIMX) with approximately $7 billion in portfolio equity and debt investments, announced the full cycle UPREIT of three additional Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) programs from its JLL Exchange platform, which offers reinvestment opportunities to 1031 exchange investors. In a 721 UPREIT transaction, real estate can be exchanged on a tax-deferred basis for partnership interests in a REIT, offering the potential for owners of the exchanged property to achieve greater diversification, current income and appreciation.

The JLL Exchange platform is a sophisticated tax and estate planning tool that utilizes a traditional 1031 exchange along with a potential 721 UPREIT exchange. JLL Exchange provides investors the opportunity to reinvest proceeds from their sale of real estate held for investment into a broadly diversified, institutionally managed, perpetual NAV REIT, while maintaining their allocation to real estate and potentially enjoying a wide range of estate planning benefits.

JLL Exchange provides institutional quality properties through the DST structure, where owners of appreciated investment real estate can conduct a 1031 exchange by using proceeds from the sale of their real estate to acquire interests in the DST. After a required holding period, JLL Income Property Trust has an option to acquire the DST property, completing the full cycle transaction via a 721 UPREIT. JLL Income Property Trust benefits by attracting strategically aligned long-term investors through the 1031 exchange market.

With the recent UPREIT acquisition of the properties from the three DSTs, investors’ DST interests were exchanged into fractional, tax-deferred partnership interests in JLL Income Property Trust’s diversified, core real estate portfolio. The seven properties were acquired from three distinct DST investments.

“The JLLX platform continues to address what we believe to be deficiencies in the historical syndicated 1031 market,” said Drew Dornbusch, Head of JLL Exchange. “By offering an end-to-end solution with lower than industry standard fees, high quality properties and institutional management, we’re continuing to attract high-net-worth property owners that previously had been underserved by traditional 1031 programs. With JLL Income Property Trust’s UPREIT acquisition of these properties, we’ve demonstrated our ability to provide 1031 exchange investors with current income, capital preservation and, ultimately, a tax-deferred interest in a diversified, institutional core real estate portfolio.”

Allan Swaringen, President and CEO of JLL Income Property Trust added, “Delivering an income-focused, high-quality core diversified real estate fund to our DST investors through the UPREIT of these properties shows the continued value of our JLLX 1031 exchange program. These transactions continue to demonstrate our ability to respond to market demand with another innovative solution for the private wealth market.”

Since its inception in 2020 and through December 31, 2023, JLLX has attracted more than $1 billion across 19 DST offerings from property owners seeking to maintain a meaningful allocation to real estate in a tax efficient manner. JLL Income Property Trust has completed 10 full cycle UPREIT transactions totaling $820 million to date.

Forward Looking Statements

This press release may contain forward-looking statements with respect to JLL Income Property Trust. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not descriptions of historical facts and include statements regarding management’s intentions, beliefs, expectations, research, market analysis, plans or predictions of the future. Because such statements include risks, uncertainties and contingencies, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Past performance is not indicative of future results and there can be no assurance that future dividends will be paid.

Summary of Risk Factors

You should read the prospectus carefully for a description of the risks associated with an investment in JLL Income Property Trust. Some of these risks include but are not limited to the following:

Since there is no public trading market for shares of our common stock, repurchases of shares by us after a one-year minimum holding period will likely be the only way to dispose of your shares. After a required one-year holding period, JLLIPT limits the amount of shares that may be repurchased under our repurchase plan to approximately 5% of our net asset value (NAV) per quarter and 20% of our NAV per annum. Because our assets will consist primarily of properties that generally cannot be readily liquidated, JLLIPT may not have sufficient liquid resources to satisfy repurchase requests. Further, our board of directors may modify or suspend our repurchase plan if it deems such action to be in the best interest of our stockholders. As a result, our shares have limited liquidity and at times may be illiquid.

The purchase and redemption price for shares of our common stock will be based on the NAV of each class of common stock and will not be based on any public trading market. Because valuation of properties is inherently subjective, our NAV may not accurately reflect the actual price at which our assets could be liquidated on any given day.
JLLIPT is dependent on our advisor to conduct our operations. JLLIPT will pay substantial fees to our advisor, which increases your risk of loss. JLLIPT has a history of operating losses and cannot assure you that JLLIPT will achieve profitability. Our advisor will face conflicts of interest as a result of, among other things, time constraints, allocation of investment opportunities, and the fact that the fees it will receive for services rendered to us will be based on our NAV, which it is responsible for calculating.

The amount of distributions JLLIPT makes is uncertain and there is no assurance that future distributions will be made. JLLIPT may pay distributions from sources other than cash f low from operations, including, without limitation, the sale of assets, borrowings, or offering proceeds. Our use of leverage increases the risk of your investment. If JLLIPT fails to maintain our status as a REIT, and no relief provisions apply, JLLIPT would be subject to serious adverse tax consequences that would cause a significant reduction in our cash available for distribution to our stockholders and potentially have a negative impact on our NAV.

While JLLIPT’s investment strategy is to invest in stabilized commercial real estate properties diversified by sector with a focus on providing current income to investors, an investment in JLLIPT is not an investment in fixed income. Fixed income has material differences from an investment in a non-traded REIT, including those related to vehicle structure, investment objectives and restrictions, risks, fluctuation of principal, safety, guarantees or insurance, fees and expenses, liquidity and tax treatment.

Investing in commercial real estate assets involves certain risks, including but not limited to: tenants’ inability to pay rent; increases in interest rates and lack of availability of financing; tenant turnover and vacancies; and changes in supply of or demand for similar properties in a given market.

You should carefully review the “Risk Factors” section of our prospectus for a discussion of the risks and uncertainties that we believe are material to our business, operating results, prospects and financial condition. Except as otherwise required by federal securities laws, we do not undertake to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

This sales material must be read in conjunction with the prospectus in order to fully understand all the implications and risks of the offering of securities to which it relates. This sales material is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy securities. An offering is made only by the prospectus.

Investors could lose all or a substantial amount of their investment. Alternative investments are suitable only for eligible, long-term investors who are willing to forgo liquidity and put capital at risk for an indefinite period of time.

This material is not to be reproduced or distributed to any other persons (other than professional advisors of the investors or prospective investors, as applicable, receiving this material) and is intended solely for the use of the persons to whom it has been delivered.
