COTTONWOOD COMMUNITIES, INC.

SUPPLEMENT NO. 1 DATED NOVEMBER 16, 2021

TO THE PROSPECTUS DATED NOVEMBER 4, 2021

This document supplements, and should be read in conjunction with, the prospectus of Cottonwood Communities, Inc. dated November 4, 2021. As used herein, the terms “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Cottonwood Communities, Inc. and, as required by context, Cottonwood Residential O.P., LP, which we refer to as our “Operating Partnership,” and to their subsidiaries. Capitalized terms used in this supplement have the same meanings as set forth in the prospectus. The purpose of this supplement is to disclose:

•the transaction price for each class of our common stock as of December 1, 2021;

•the calculation of our October 31, 2021 net asset value (“NAV”) per share, as determined in accordance with our valuation guidelines, for each of our share classes;

•an update regarding the holder of the special limited partner interest in our Operating Partnership;

•“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” similar to that filed in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2021;

•updated experts information; and

•our unaudited financial statements and the notes thereto as of and for the period ended September 30, 2021.

December 1, 2021 Transaction Price

The transaction price for each share class of our common stock for subscriptions accepted (and distribution reinvestment plan issuances) as of December 1, 2021 (and repurchases as of November 30, 2021) is as follows:


						Transaction Price (per share)
Class T						$16.3305
Class D						$16.3305
Class I						$16.3305
Class A						$16.3305
Class TX						$16.3305

The transaction price for each of our share classes is equal to such class’s NAV per share as of October 31, 2021. A calculation of the NAV per share is set forth below. The purchase price of our common stock for each share class equals the transaction price of such class, plus applicable upfront selling commissions and dealer manager fees.

October 31, 2021 NAV Calculation

Our board of directors, including a majority of our independent directors, has adopted valuation guidelines, as amended from time to time, that contain a comprehensive set of methodologies to be used in connection with the calculation of our NAV. Our most recent NAV per share for each share class, which is updated as of the last calendar day of each month, is posted on our website at www.cottonwoodcommunities.com and is also available on our toll-free, automated telephone line at (888) 422-2584.

The October 31, 2021 NAV for our outstanding Class A and Class TX shares was calculated pursuant to these valuation guidelines. We have no outstanding Class T, Class D or Class I shares as of the date of this supplement. Until we sell shares of these classes, we will deem the NAV per share of these classes to be the NAV per share of our Class A and Class TX shares.

Please see “Net Asset Value Calculation and Valuation Guidelines” in our prospectus for a more detailed description of our valuation guidelines, including important disclosures regarding real property valuations, debt-related asset valuations and property management business valuations provided by Altus Group U.S. Inc. (the “Independent Valuation Advisor”). All parties engaged by us in the calculation of our NAV, including CC Advisors III, LLC, our advisor, are subject to the oversight of our board of directors. As described in our valuation guidelines, each real property is appraised by a third-party appraiser (the “Third-Party Appraisal Firm”) at least once per calendar year and reviewed by our advisor and the Independent Valuation Advisor. Additionally, the real property assets not appraised by the Third-Party Appraisal Firm in a given calendar month will be appraised for such calendar month by our Independent Valuation Advisor, and such appraisals are reviewed by our advisor.

Our Operating Partnership has certain classes or series of OP Units that are each economically equivalent to a corresponding class of shares. Accordingly, on the last day of each month, for such classes or series of OP Units, the NAV per OP Unit equals the NAV per share of the corresponding class. To the extent our Operating Partnership has classes of units that do not correspond to a class of our shares, such units will be valued in a manner consistent with our valuation guidelines. The NAV of our Operating Partnership on the last day of each month equals the sum of the NAVs of each fully-diluted outstanding OP Unit on such day. In calculating the fully-diluted outstanding OP Units we include all outstanding vested LTIP Units, unvested time-based LTIP Units and those performance-based LTIP Units that would be earned based on the internal rate of return as of such day.

Our total NAV in the following table includes the NAV of our Class A and Class TX common stockholders, as well as the partnership interests of the Operating Partnership held by parties other than us. The following table sets forth the components of our NAV as of October 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021:

* Presented as adjusted for our economic ownership percentage in each asset, weighted by gross value.

A change in these assumptions would impact the calculation of the value of our operating and development assets. For example, assuming all other factors remain unchanged, the changes listed below would result in the following effects on our operating and development asset values:


Sensitivities	Change	Operating Asset Values	Development Asset Values
Discount Rate	0.25% decrease	2.3%	2.3%
	0.25% increase	(2.2)%	(2.3)%

Overview

Cottonwood Communities, Inc. invests primarily in multifamily apartment communities and multifamily real estate-related assets throughout the United States. Generally, we intend to invest at least 65% of our assets in stabilized multifamily apartment communities and up to 35% in mortgage loans, preferred equity investments, mezzanine loans or equity investments in property or land which will be developed into a multifamily apartment community (including, by way of example, an existing multifamily apartment community that may require redevelopment capital for strategic repositioning within its market). From time to time, we will evaluate these allocations and may make adjustments based on real estate market conditions and investment opportunities. We will not forego what we believe to be a good investment because it does not precisely fit our expected portfolio composition.

We conducted an initial public offering of $750.0 million in shares of common stock (the "Offering"), consisting of $675.0 million in shares offered in our primary offering and $75.0 million in shares offered through our distribution reinvestment plan (the "DRP Offering”) from August 2018 through December 2020 when our board of directors suspended the Offering to pursue the mergers described below. The Offering consisted of two classes of our common stock, Class A and Class TX (previously designated Class T). The share classes had different underwriting compensation expenses that were paid on our behalf by CCA III. We received gross offering proceeds in the Offering, including proceeds in the DRP Offering, of approximately $122.0 million.

On August 12, 2021, we filed a registration statement to register $1.0 billion in shares of common stock in a follow-on offering (the "Follow-on Offering"), consisting of $900.0 million in shares of Class T, Class D and Class I common stock offered in a primary offering and $100.0 million in shares of Class A, Class TX, Class T, Class D and Class I common stock offered through the DRP Offering. Underwriting compensation expenses for the Follow-on Offering will effectively be paid by purchasers of the new classes or borne by us. On November 4, 2021 the SEC declared our registration statement for the follow-on offering effective and we commenced this offering.

On November 8, 2019, we launched a best-efforts private placement offering exempt from registration under the Securities Act for which we initially offered a maximum of $50.0 million in shares of Series 2019 Preferred Stock to accredited investors at a purchase price of $10.00 per share (the "Private Offering"). Offering-related expenses in the Private Offering are paid from offering proceeds. Our board of directors approved an increase in the size of the Private Offering to $100.0 million on March 23, 2021 and to $125.0 million on October 7, 2021.

We operate under the direction of our board of directors. Our external advisor, CC Advisors III, LLC ("CCA III"), through its team of real estate professionals selects our investments and manages our business, subject to the direction and oversight of our board of directors. Our advisor is an affiliate of our sponsor. In addition, we employ 338 individuals, including our Chief Legal Officer, Chief Operating Officer, and Chief Accounting Officer, with 261 employees serving as “site” employees at our properties and the remaining being corporate-level employees supporting our operations. Our employees are responsible for performing various operational services for us, including property management, legal, accounting, property development oversight and certain services relating to construction management, shareholder relations, human resources, renter insurance and information technology.

We elected to be taxed as a REIT beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2019. We utilize an UPREIT organizational structure to hold all or substantially all of our assets through the Operating Partnership. Our Operating Partnership was Cottonwood Communities O.P., LP ("CCOP") prior to the CRII Merger, described below, and is Cottonwood Residential O.P., LP ("CROP") after the CRII Merger. We are the sole member of the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and own general partner interests in the Operating Partnership alongside third party limited partners.

As of September 30, 2021, we have raised gross proceeds of approximately $85.8 million from the sale of Series 2019 Preferred Stock in the Private Offering and approximately $122.0 million from the sale of our common stock in the Offering, including the DRP Offering. We have primarily used the net proceeds to make investments in real estate related assets as further described below under Our Investments.

Merger with Cottonwood Residential II, Inc. and Cottonwood Residential O.P., LP

On May 7, 2021, we completed our merger with Cottonwood Residential II, Inc. ("CRII") (the "CRII Company Merger"), and the merger of CCOP with and into CROP (the “CROP Merger,” and together with the CRII Company Merger, the "CRII Merger") through a stock-for-stock and unit-for-unit transaction provided for pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated January 26, 2021 by and among us, CCOP, Cottonwood Communities GP Subsidiary, LLC ("Merger Sub"), CRII and CROP.

At the effective time of the CRII Merger, each issued and outstanding share of CRII’s common stock (the “CRII Common Stock”) converted into 2.015 shares of shares of our Class A common stock, each issued and outstanding share of Series 2016 preferred stock of CRII converted into one share of our newly designated Series 2016 preferred stock, and each issued and outstanding share of Series 2017 preferred stock of CRII converted into one share of our newly designated Series 2017 preferred stock.

At the effective time of the CROP Merger, each participating partnership unit of CROP (i.e., all CROP partnership units other than preferred units) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the CROP Merger split into 2.015 participating partnership units of CROP (the “CROP Unit Split”), whereupon (i) each issued and outstanding Series 2019 preferred unit of CCOP ("CCOP Series 2019 Preferred Stock") converted into one Series 2019 preferred unit of CROP, the terms of which mirrored the CCOP Series 2019 Preferred Stock, (ii) each issued and outstanding LTIP Unit of CCOP (the “CCOP LTIP Units”) was converted into the right to receive one LTIP Unit of CROP, the terms and conditions of which mirrored the CCOP LTIP Units, (iii) each issued and outstanding Special LTIP Unit of CCOP (the “CCOP Special LTIP Units”) converted into the right to receive one Special LTIP Unit of CROP, the terms and conditions of which mirrored the CCOP Special LTIP Units, and (iv) except as set forth above, each issued and outstanding general partner unit of CCOP and CCOP Common Unit converted into the right to receive one common limited partner unit of CROP (“CROP Common Unit”). After giving effect to the CROP Unit Split, each CROP Common Unit, general partner unit and LTIP unit issued and outstanding immediately prior

to the effective time of the CROP Merger remained outstanding, and each CROP preferred unit issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the CROP Merger remained outstanding and continues to be held by the general partner, Merger Sub.

Upon consummation of the CRII Merger, the separate existence of CRII and CCOP ceased. The CRII Merger was intended to qualify as a “reorganization” under, and within the meaning of, Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Further, as a result of the CRII Merger, we acquired CRII’s affiliate property manager and its employees, which currently manage approximately 13,400 units in stabilized assets, including approximately 7,300 for Cottonwood affiliates (including us), and are currently leasing up a 341 unit development project. In addition, we acquired the personnel who have historically performed certain administrative and other services for us on behalf of CCA III, including legal, accounting, property development oversight and certain services relating to construction management, shareholder relations, human resources, renter insurance and information technology. As a result, we directly employ the individuals that perform the foregoing administrative services as well as property management services. CCA III continues to manage our business as our external advisor pursuant to an amended and restated advisory agreement.

CMRI Merger and CMRII Merger

On January 26, 2021, we entered into separate agreements to acquire each of Cottonwood Multifamily REIT I, Inc. ("CMRI") and its operating partnership ("CMRI Merger"), and Cottonwood Multifamily REIT II, Inc. ("CMRII") and its operating partnership ("CMRII Merger") in stock-for-stock transactions whereby CMRI and CMRII would be merged into a wholly owned subsidiary of us. Each merger was intended to qualify as a “reorganization” under, and within the meaning of, Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

On July 15, 2021, we completed the CMRI Merger and the CMRII Merger. At the effective time of the CMRI Merger, each issued and outstanding share of CMRI’s common stock converted into 1.175 shares of our Class A common stock. At the effective time of the CMRII Merger, each issued and outstanding share of CMRII’s common stock converted into 1.072 shares of our Class A common stock. In addition, each partnership unit in CMRI's operating partnership and CMRII's operating partnership, which equaled the total number of common stock in CMRI and CMRII, respectively, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the respective merger, converted into common limited partner units in CROP at the same exchange ratio. Upon consummation of the CMRI Merger and the CMRII Merger, the separate existence of CMRI and CMRII and their related operating partnerships ceased. Each asset held by CMRI and CMRII was owned through joint ventures with CROP. As a result of the consummation of the CMRI Merger and the CMRII Merger, our ownership interest in the properties held through joint ventures with CMRI and CMRII increased to 100% on July 15, 2021.

Net Asset Value

Our board of directors, including a majority of our independent directors, has adopted valuation procedures, as amended from time to time, that contain a comprehensive set of methodologies to be used in connection with the calculation of our net asset value ("NAV"). Pursuant to these valuation procedures, we computed a September 30, 2021 NAV per share for our outstanding Class A and Class TX shares of $15.4799. We had no outstanding Class T, Class D or Class I shares as of September 30, 2021. Until we sell shares of these classes, we will deem the NAV per share of these classes to be the NAV per share of our Class A and Class TX shares.

Please see “Net Asset Value Calculation and Valuation Guidelines” in our prospectus, for a more detailed description of our valuation procedures.

CROP has certain classes or series of OP Units that are each economically equivalent to a corresponding class of shares. Accordingly, on the last day of each month, for such classes or series of OP Units, the NAV per OP Unit equals the NAV per share of the corresponding class. To the extent CROP has classes of units that do not correspond to a class of our shares, such units will be valued in a manner consistent with our valuation procedures. The NAV of CROP on the last day of each month equals the sum of the NAVs of each fully-diluted outstanding OP Unit on such day. In calculating the fully-diluted outstanding OP Units we include all outstanding vested LTIP Units, unvested time-based LTIP Units and those performance-based LTIP Units that would be earned based on the internal rate of return as of such day.

For the month ended September 30, 2021, the NAV for all of CCI’s classes of common stock as well as its Operating Partnership was $15.4799 per share, a 31.3% increase over the June 30, 2021 NAV of $11.7865 per share. The continued price movement is reflective of observed increases in the values of multifamily assets across the country, particularly in many of the growth markets where we have investments. Cap rates have moved favorably. Rental rates across our portfolio of operating properties have also grown substantially over the course of the year, with significant growth during the third quarter. Specifically, the weighted average change in lease rates across our portfolio for newly signed leases versus prior leases (lease tradeouts) was 22.0% in September of 2021 compared to 11.5% in June of 2021. The weighted average change in renewal rates across our portfolio was 6.6% in September of 2021 compared to 4.7% in June of 2021.

Our total NAV in the following table includes the NAV of our Class A and Class TX common stockholders, as well as the partnership interests of CROP held by parties other than us. The following table sets forth the components of our NAV as of September 30, 2021 (in thousands except share data):

NAV	$	847,811

The following details the adjustments to reconcile GAAP stockholders’ equity and CROP partners' capital per our condensed consolidated balance sheet to our NAV:

–Our preferred stock is accounted for as a liability with associated issuance costs deferred and amortized under GAAP. These issuance costs are excluded for purposes of determining our NAV.

–We recorded goodwill for the difference between the transaction price of the CRII Merger and the fair value of identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and non-controlling interests. Goodwill was not included for purposes of determining our NAV.

–We recorded deferred tax liabilities for the tax effects on the difference in the value of certain assets recorded with the CRII Merger and their underlying tax basis. These deferred tax liabilities were excluded for purposes of determining our NAV.

–We depreciate our investments in real estate and amortize certain other assets and liabilities in accordance with GAAP. Such depreciation and amortization is not recorded for purposes of determining our NAV.

–Accumulated depreciation and amortization associated with our investments in unconsolidated real estate entities is also not recorded for purposes of determining our NAV.

–We manage properties on behalf of third parties and under certain agreements have contractual rights to receive promotional interests subject to minimum return hurdles. We do not recognize promotes under GAAP until a liquidation transaction is probable, but do include the fair value of promotes, using a hypothetical liquidation valuation method, for purposes of determining our NAV.

–Our investments in real estate are presented under historical cost in our GAAP consolidated financial statements. Additionally, our mortgage notes, revolving credit facility and construction loans ("Debt") are presented at their carrying value in our consolidated GAAP financial statements. As such, any increases or decreases in the fair market value of our investments in real estate or our Debt are not included in our GAAP results. For purposes of determining our NAV, our investments in real estate and our Debt are recorded at fair value.

COVID-19 Pandemic

One of the most significant risks and uncertainties facing the real estate industry generally continues to be the effect of the ongoing public health crisis of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we did not experience significant disruptions in our operations from the COVID-19 pandemic; however, we continue to closely monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of our business, including how the pandemic will impact our tenants and multifamily communities.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2021 and 2020

We incurred net losses of $57.0 million and $3.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The change was primarily driven by the increase in our portfolio of assets and the restructuring of the advisory and operating agreements, all as a result of the CRII Merger which closed on May 7, 2021. The assets acquired with the CRII merger brought on a significant amount of depreciation and amortization, interest expense on mortgages and preferred stock, losses from the property management business, and overhead costs associated with personnel, administrative and other services. Asset management fees increased with the size of the portfolio. The amended operating agreement provided a performance participation allocation expense of $29.5 million associated with the increase in NAV during the period. General and administrative expenses also increased primarily due to non-recurring legal, financial advisor, and other costs associated with the CMRI Merger and the CMRII Merger.

The performance participation allocation accrues monthly and is payable after the completion of each calendar year. See Note 10 of the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this supplement for additional information regarding the performance participation allocation.

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 and 2020

We incurred net losses of $81.4 million and $6.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The change was primarily driven by the CRII Merger as discussed in the previous section. The performance participation allocation expense was $36.0 million as a result of the increase in NAV from the CRII Merger date to September 30, 2021. In addition, we had a full nine months of activity from Cottonwood One Upland in 2021, compared to just over six months of activity in 2020, as Cottonwood One Upland was acquired in March 2020. General and administrative expenses also increased primarily due to non-recurring legal, financial advisor, and other costs associated with the CRII Merger, the CMRI Merger and the CMRII Merger.

We expect our results of operations in future periods will continue to fluctuate as we deploy capital in strategic real estate investments. We are in the acquisition phase of our life cycle, and the results of our operations will be impacted by the timing of our acquisitions and the equity raised through our offerings. In addition, our results of operations have been significantly impacted in 2021 due to the significance of the CRII Merger, the CMRI Merger and the CMRII Merger to our portfolio. Accordingly, our operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 are not directly comparable, nor are our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 indicative of those expected in future periods. We believe that our revenues, operating expenses and interest expense will continue to increase in future periods as a result of continued growth in our portfolio and as a result of future investments in multifamily real estate-related assets. Changes in occupancy, fluctuations due to changes in the variable interest rate on our floating rate mortgages and our variable rate revolving credit facility and impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic as discussed above could also affect our operating results.

Funds from Operations

Funds from operations, or FFO, is a measure of the operating performance of a REIT and of our company. We compute FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, as net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of depreciable properties, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, real estate-related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for our share of unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

Our management also uses Core FFO as a measure of our operating performance. Core FFO is further adjusted from FFO for the following items included in GAAP net income: amortization of issuance costs associated with investments in real-estate related loans and debt, accretion of discounts on preferred stock, the performance participation allocation, acquisition fees and expenses, and amortization of above or below intangible lease assets and liabilities. Our calculation of Core FFO may differ from the methodology used for calculating Core FFO by other REITs and, accordingly, our Core FFO may not be comparable. We believe these measures are useful to investors because they facilitate an understanding of our operating performance after adjusting for non-cash expenses and other items not indicative of ongoing operating performance.

Neither FFO nor Core FFO is equivalent to net income or cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Furthermore, FFO and Core FFO do not represent amounts available for management’s discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments or uncertainties. Neither FFO nor Core FFO should be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.

The following table presents the calculation of FFO and Core FFO (in thousands, except share and per share data):

(1) Acquisition fees and expenses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 included costs associated with the CRII Merger, the CMRI Merger, and the CMRII Merger.

See "Results of Operations" above for further detail.

Policies Regarding Operating Expenses

Our advisor must reimburse us the amount by which our aggregate total operating expenses for the four fiscal quarters then ended exceed the greater of 2% of our average invested assets or 25% of our net income (the 2%/25% Limitation), unless the conflicts committee has determined that such excess expenses were justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors. For the four consecutive quarters ended September 30, 2021, our total operating expenses exceeded the 2%/25% Limitation.

Based upon a review of unusual and non-recurring factors, including but not limited to outsized performance during this period resulting in increased performance participation allocation expense and the costs of the CRII Merger, the CMRI Merger and the CMRII Merger, our independent directors determined that the excess expenses were justified.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal demands for funds during the short and long-term are and will be for the acquisition of multifamily apartment communities and investments in multifamily real estate-related assets; operating expenses, including the management fee we pay to our advisor and the performance participation allocation, capital expenditures and general and administrative expenses; payments under debt obligations; repurchases of common and preferred stock; and payments of distributions to stockholders. We will obtain the capital required to purchase multifamily apartment communities and make investments in multifamily real estate-related assets and conduct our operations from the proceeds of the Private Offering, the Follow-on Offering, from our credit facilities, other secured or unsecured financings from banks and other lenders, and from any undistributed funds from our operations, all of which may be adversely affected by the impact COVID-19.

We intend to strengthen our capital and liquidity positions by continuing to focus on our core fundamentals at the property level. Factors which could increase or decrease our future liquidity include but are not limited to operating performance of the properties owned by our joint ventures, including the impact of COVID-19 on the properties owned by the joint ventures, volatility in interest rates, and the satisfaction of REIT dividend requirements.

As of September 30, 2021, we have $213.4 million of fixed rate debt and $571.7 million of variable rate debt, which includes $101.9 million of construction loans. $440.8 million, or 77.1% of our variable rate debt is accompanied by interest rate cap hedging instruments. In addition, CROP has issued unsecured promissory notes in several private placement offerings, in an aggregate amount of $48.6 million as of September 30, 2021.

We have various credit facilities in place that provide us with additional liquidity. Our JP Morgan Revolving Credit Facility has a variable rate and is secured by Cottonwood One Upland. We may obtain advances secured against One Upland up to $67.6 million on the JP Morgan Revolving Credit Facility, as well as finance other future acquisitions up to $125.0 million in total revolving debt capacity. We can draw upon or pay down the JP Morgan Revolving Credit Facility at our discretion, subject to loan-to-value requirements, debt service coverage ratios and other covenants and restrictions as set forth in the loan documents. As of September 30, 2021, we had advances of approximately $29.0 million on the JP Morgan Revolving Credit Facility. Additionally, we have three other credit facilities through Fannie Mae that may provide additional liquidity if necessary as long as we maintain certain loan-to-value ratios and other requirements as set forth in the loan documents.

We must redeem the Series 2019 Preferred Stock for cash at a redemption price per share equal to $10.00 plus any accrued and unpaid dividends, to the extent there are funds legally available, on December 31, 2023. This date may be extended by two one-year extension options. In addition, we must redeem the Series 2016 Preferred Stock and Series 2017 Preferred Stock for cash at a redemption price equal to $10.00 per share plus any accrued and unpaid dividends to the extent there are any funds legally available, on their respective redemption dates. The initial redemption date was January 31, 2021 for the Series 2016 Preferred Stock and it was extended to January 31, 2022 and may be extended for an additional one year. The redemption date for the Series 2017 Preferred Stock is January 31, 2022 and may be extended by two one-year extension options.

In addition to making investments in accordance with our investment objectives, we expect to use our capital resources to pay offering costs in connection with the Private Offering and this offering, as well as make certain payments to our advisor pursuant to the terms of our advisory management agreement.

To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we will be required to make aggregate annual distributions to our stockholders of at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (computed without regard to the dividends-paid deduction and excluding net capital gain). Our board of directors may authorize distributions in excess of those required for us to maintain REIT status depending on our financial condition and such other factors as our board of directors deems relevant.

Cash Flows

The following table provides a breakdown of the net change in our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash (in thousands):


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2021		2020
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	10,842	$	175
Net cash used in investing activities	(12,189)		(79,054)
Net cash provided by financing activities	59,748		39,193
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	58,401	$	(39,686)

Net cash flows provided by operating activities were $10.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as a result of the CRII Merger which resulted in increased tenant receipts and property management fees. Net cash inflows were also due to income from structured investments and an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, partially offset by operating expenses and payment of Preferred Stock interest. Cash flows provided by operating activities for the same period in 2020 were $175,000, primarily as a result of tenant receipts, interest income received on the Dolce B-Note, and interest received for cash on deposit combined with the deferral of payment on accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities.

Cash flows used in investing activities were $12.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to investments in development projects and capital improvements, funding of preferred equity at Riverfront, and

draws on the Integra Peaks mezzanine loan, largely offset by the cash acquired in connection with the CRII Merger and repayment on the Dolce B-Notes. Cash flows used in investing activities were $79.1 million for the same period in 2020 due to our purchase of Cottonwood One Upland, the Vernon Boulevard Investment, the Lector85 Investment, and the Dolce B-Note, as well as cash invested in capital improvements.

Cash flows provided by financing activities were $59.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as a result of net proceeds we received from the issuance of Series 2019 Preferred Stock and proceeds from construction loans, offset partially by distributions paid to both common stockholders and noncontrolling interest holders, net repayments made on our JP Morgan Revolving Credit Facility, and repurchases of preferred stock, common stock and OP Units. Cash flows provided by financing activities were $39.2 million for the same period in 2020, driven mainly by the net proceeds we received from the issuance of our common stock and our Series 2019 Preferred Stock, offset partially by distributions paid to common stockholders and net repayments made on our JP Morgan Credit Facility.

Distributions

The following table shows distributions paid and cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020 (in thousands):


	Nine Months Ended September 30,		Year Ended December 31, 2020
Distributions paid in cash - common stockholders	$	6,382	$	4,145
Distributions paid in cash to noncontrolling interests - limited partners	6,260		—
Distributions of DRP (reinvested)	—		1,107
Total distributions (1)	$	12,642	$	5,252

Source of distributions (2)
Paid from cash flows provided by operations	$	10,842	$	572
Paid from revolving credit facility	1,800		—
Paid from offering proceeds	—		3,573
Offering proceeds from issuance of common stock pursuant to the DRP	—		1,107
Total sources	$	12,642	$	5,252

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities (2)	$	10,842	$	(2,816)

(1) Distributions are paid on a monthly basis. In general, distributions for all record dates of a given month are paid on or about the fifth business day of the following month.
(2) The allocation of total sources are calculated on a quarterly basis. Generally, for purposes of determining the source of our distributions paid, we assume first that we use positive cash flow from operating activities from the relevant or prior quarter to fund distribution payments. As such, amounts reflected above as distributions paid from cash flows provided by operations may be from a prior quarter which had positive cash flow from operations.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, distributions declared to common stockholders and limited partners were approximately $5.9 million and $6.3 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we paid aggregate distributions to common stockholders and limited partners of approximately $6.4 million and $6.3 million, all paid in cash due to our distribution reinvestment plan being suspended. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, our net loss was approximately $81.4 million. Cash flows provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was approximately $10.8 million. Generally, for purposes of determining the source of our distributions paid, we assume first that we use cash flow from operating activities from the relevant or prior periods to fund distribution payments. To the extent that we pay distributions from sources other than our cash flow from operating activities, we will have less funds available for the acquisition of real estate investments, the overall return to our stockholders may be reduced and subsequent investors will experience dilution. In addition, to the extent distributions exceed cash flow from operating activities, a stockholder's basis in our stock will be reduced and, to the extent distributions exceed a stockholder's basis, the stockholder may recognize capital gain.

Critical Accounting Policies

Please refer to Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ending December 31, 2020 and incorporated by reference into the prospectus for discussions of our critical accounting policies. As of September 30, 2021, our accounting policy over investments in real estate, specifically with regards to the acquisition of real estate, continues to be considered critical. With the consummation of the CRII Merger in the prior quarter and the consummation of the CMRI Merger and the CMRII Merger in the current quarter, we also consider our accounting policy for business combinations under ASC 805 to be critical. See Note 2 of the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this supplement for information regarding this policy.

Cottonwood Communities, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1.Organization and Business

Cottonwood Communities, Inc. ("CCI") is a Maryland corporation formed to invest in multifamily apartment communities and real estate-related assets located throughout the United States. The Company elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust or REIT beginning with the taxable year ending December 31, 2019. The Operating Partnership, together with its subsidiaries, holds the Company's real estate interests and conducts the ongoing operations of the Company. Our Operating Partnership was Cottonwood Communities O.P., LP ("CCOP") prior to the CRII Merger and is Cottonwood Residential O.P., LP ("CROP") after the CRII Merger. The CRII Merger is defined and described in more detail below. CCI is the sole member of the general partner of the Operating Partnership, and owns general partners interests in our Operating Partnership alongside third party limited partners. As used herein, the term “Company”, “we”, “our” or “us” includes our Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise.

CC Advisors III, LLC ("CCA III") manages our business as our external advisor and, as of the CRII Merger described below, is the Special Limited Partner owning a special partner interest in CROP. Following the CRII Merger, we became the property manager for our stabilized multifamily apartment communities and employ certain personnel who manage our operations directly.

On November 8, 2019, we launched a private placement offering exempt from registration under the Securities Act (the "Private Offering") pursuant to which, as of September 30, 2021, we were offering $100.0 million in shares of Series 2019 Preferred Stock to accredited investors at a purchase price of $10.00 per share. Subsequent to September 30, 2021, and as described in Note 13, our board of directors approved an increase in the size of the Private Offering to $125.0 million. Offering-related expenses in the Private Offering are paid from offering proceeds.

We own and operate a diverse portfolio of investments in multifamily apartment communities located in targeted markets throughout the United States. As of September 30, 2021, we owned interests in 29 multifamily apartment communities with a total of 8,373 units, which includes 1,079 units in four multifamily apartment communities under construction. In addition, we had preferred equity investments in three multifamily apartment developments totaling 1,073 units, a mezzanine loan in one 300-unit multifamily apartment development, two parcels of land held for development as well as various smaller real estate investments. We also manage 21 properties for third parties, bringing the total number of multifamily apartment communities which we own interests in, invest, or manage to 56, representing 15,557 units in 13 states.

Merger with Cottonwood Residential II, Inc. and Cottonwood Residential O.P., LP

F - 8

issued and outstanding share of Series 2017 preferred stock of CRII converted into one share of our newly designated Series 2017 preferred stock.

As a result of the CRII Merger, we acquired CRII’s property management business and its employees as well as the personnel who historically performed certain administrative and other services for us on behalf of CCA III, including legal, accounting, property development oversight and certain services relating to construction management, shareholder relations, human resources, renter insurance and information technology. As a result of the CRII Merger, we manage approximately 13,400 units in stabilized assets, including approximately 7,300 for Cottonwood affiliates (including us), and are currently leasing up a 341 unit development project. We also directly employ the individuals that perform the foregoing administrative services. CCA III continues to manage our business as our external advisor pursuant to an amended and restated advisory agreement.

Change in Sponsor

Immediately prior to the consummation of the CRII Merger, CRII and its affiliates completed certain transactions to restructure the ownership of CCA III such that our sponsor changed from CRII to Cottonwood Communities Advisors, LLC, the sole owner of CCA III.

CMRI Merger and CMRII Merger

In addition to the CRII Merger that closed on May 7, 2021, on January 26, 2021, we entered into separate merger agreements to acquire each of Cottonwood Multifamily REIT I, Inc. ("CMRI") and its operating partnership ("CMRI Merger") and Cottonwood Multifamily REIT II, Inc. ("CMRII") and its operating partnership ("CMRII Merger") in stock-for-stock transactions. Each REIT merger was intended to qualify as a “reorganization” under, and within the meaning of, Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Much of our structure and agreements have changed materially as a result of the CRII Merger on May 7, 2021 and were further impacted as a result of the CMRI Merger and CMRII Merger, which both closed on July 15, 2021. Accordingly, information presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements may not be directly comparable to prior periods.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. The condensed consolidated financial statements, including the condensed notes thereto, are unaudited and exclude some of the disclosures required in audited financial statements. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 has been derived from the Company’s audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments and eliminations, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation in conformity with GAAP. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ending December 31, 2020 filed with the SEC.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries for which we have a controlling interest. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Some of our partially owned and unconsolidated properties are owned through a tenant in common (“TIC interest”) structure. TIC interests constitute separate and undivided interests in real property. TIC interests in properties for which we exercise significant influence are accounted for using the equity method of accounting until we have acquired a 100% interest in the property.

Certain amounts in the prior year condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications did not impact previously reported net loss or accumulated deficit or change net cash provided by or used in operating, investing or financing activities.

Business Combinations

The CRII Merger was accounted for as a business combination. We account for business combinations by recognizing assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair values as of the acquisition date and expensing transaction costs. Differences between the transaction price and the fair value of identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, are accounted for as goodwill, or conversely, as a gain on bargain purchase. Transaction costs are included within general and administrative expenses on our condensed consolidated statements of operations as incurred.

Organization and Offering Costs

All organization and offering costs in connection with the distribution of Class A and Class TX shares in the primary portion of the Offering were the obligation of our advisor. We did not incur any liability for or reimburse our advisor for any of these organizational and offering costs, which totaled $14.1 million. Organization and offering costs in connection with the distribution of our Class T, Class D and Class I shares will be paid by purchasers of the shares or borne by us.

Other Assets

Other assets consist primarily of intangible assets acquired in connection with the CRII Merger, as well as receivables, deferred tax assets, prepaid expenses, equipment, related party notes, related party receivables and other assets.

Unsecured Promissory Notes

The 2017 and 2019 6% Notes and 2017 6.25% Notes are unsecured notes issued to investors outside of the United States. These unsecured promissory notes are described in Note 6. These instruments are similar in nature, have fixed interest rates and maturity dates, and are denominated in U.S. dollars.

F - 10

Noncontrolling Interests

The portion of ownership interests in consolidated entities not held by CCI are reported as noncontrolling interests. Equity and net income (loss) attributable to CCI and to noncontrolling interests are presented separately on the consolidated financial statements. Changes in noncontrolling ownership interests, as in the case of the CMRI Merger and CMRII Merger, are accounted for as equity transactions.

Noncontrolling interest – limited partners – These noncontrolling interests represent ownership interest in CROP ("OP Units") not held by CCI, the general partner. Net income or loss is allocated to these limited partners of CROP based on their ownership percentage. Issuance of additional common stock by CCI or OP Units to limited partners changes the ownership interests of both CCI and the limited partners of CROP.

Consistent with the one-for-one relationship between the OP Units issued to CCI, limited partners are attributed a share of net income or loss in CROP based on their weighted-average ownership interest in CROP during the period.

Noncontrolling interest – partially owned entities – These noncontrolling interests represent ownership interests that are not held by us in consolidated entities. Net income (loss) is allocated to noncontrolling interests in partially owned entities based on ownership percentage in those entities.

Refer to Note 11 for more information on our noncontrolling interests.

3. Real Estate Assets, Net

The following table summarizes the carrying amounts of our consolidated real estate assets (in thousands):


	September 30, 2021		December 31, 2020
Land	$	169,751	$	23,894
Buildings and improvements	1,113,158		139,110
Furniture, fixtures and equipment	3,073		3,983
Intangible assets	37,027		3,809
Construction in progress (1)	194,811		—
	1,517,820		170,796
Less: Accumulated depreciation and amortization	(51,940)		(9,704)
Real estate assets, net	$	1,465,880	$	161,092

(1) Includes construction in progress for our development projects and capitalized costs for improvements not yet placed in service at our stabilized properties.

CRII Merger

On May 7, 2021, we completed the CRII Merger, which was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations ("ASC 805"). Based on an evaluation of the relevant factors and the guidance in ASC 805, CCI was determined to be both the legal and accounting acquirer. In order to make this consideration, various factors have been analyzed including which entity issued its equity interests, relative voting rights, existence of noncontrolling interests, control of the board of directors, management composition, relative size, transaction initiation, operational structure, relative composition of employees, and other factors. The most significant factor identified was the relative voting rights, as CCI stockholders hold the majority of the controlling financial (voting) interests. CCI also initiated the transaction and was the entity issuing common equity interests in the merger.

The consideration given in exchange for CRII (in thousands, except share and per share data) is as follows:


CRII Common stock issued and outstanding	213,434
Exchange ratio	2.015
CCI common stock issued as consideration	430,070
CCI's estimated value per share as of May 7, 2021	$	10.83
Value of CCI common stock issued as consideration	$	4,658

F - 11

The allocation of the purchase price below requires significant judgment and represents management's best estimate of the fair value as of the acquisition date. Under ASC 805 we are allowed a measurement period to complete the accounting for the CRII Merger and to make adjustments if necessary. The following table shows the preliminary purchase price allocation of CRII's identifiable asset and liabilities assumed as of May 7, 2021 (in thousands):


Assets
Real estate assets (1)	$	1,296,241
Investments in unconsolidated real estate entities	118,829
Cash and cash equivalents	31,799
Restricted cash	20,144
Other assets (2)	42,345
Total assets acquired	$	1,509,358

Liabilities
Mortgage notes, net	$	622,095
Construction loans	64,114
Preferred stock	143,979
Unsecured promissory notes	48,643
Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities	40,935
Total liabilities assumed	919,766
Consolidated net assets acquired	589,592
Noncontrolling interests (3)	(584,934)
Net assets acquired	$	4,658

(1) Real estate assets acquired in connection with the CRII Merger include $33.2 million of intangible lease assets, which have a weighted-average amortization period of 0.5 years.
(2) Other assets includes $32.1 million of intangible assets from the CRII Merger. Of this amount, $8.0 million relates to a promote asset which was removed upon the closing of the CMRI and CMR II Mergers on July 15, 2021. The remaining $24.1 million of intangible assets have a weighted-average amortization period of 8.8 years, and include $22.2 million related to the acquisition of CRII's property management and ancillary businesses (with a weighted-average amortization period of 9.2 years) and $1.9 million related to acquired disposition fees on certain properties and promotes on development assets (with a weighted-average amortization period of 3.8 years).
(3) The fair value of noncontrolling interests is based on the fair value of assets and liabilities held by the noncontrolling interests at their ownership share. These values were determined using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers, and include using replacement cost estimates less depreciation, discounted cash flows, market comparisons, and direct capitalization of net operating income.

As a result of the CRII Merger we consolidated 17 multifamily apartment communities and four development properties as well as added six multifamily apartment communities accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

CMRI Merger and CMRII Merger

We consolidated the properties that CMRI and CMRII invested in through joint ventures with CROP with the closing of the CRII Merger in May 2021. As a result of the consummation of the CMRI Merger and the CMRII Merger in July 2021, our ownership interest in these properties increased to 100%. The acquisition of an additional ownership interest of a consolidated entity is accounted for as an equity transaction. Accordingly, CMRI's and CMRII's noncontrolling interest in the properties was reduced by its carrying amount and the difference between the carrying amount and the consideration paid was recorded as an adjustment to our equity through additional paid-in capital. Information regarding these equity transactions is as follows (in thousands, except share and per share data):

Asset acquisition

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, there were no asset acquisitions of consolidated real estate assets in 2021.

On March 19, 2020, we acquired Cottonwood One Upland, a multifamily apartment community in the Greater Boston area for $103.6 million, excluding closing costs. We funded the purchase with an initial draw of $50.0 million from our $67.6 million credit facility with JP Morgan and proceeds from our offerings. Acquired assets and liabilities were recorded at relative fair value as an asset acquisition. The following table summarizes the purchase price allocation of Cottonwood One Upland during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 (in thousands):

Our preferred equity investments, which are in development projects, have liquidation rights and priorities that are different from ownership percentages. As such, equity in earnings is determined using the hypothetical liquidation book value ("HLBV") method. Equity in earnings for our preferred equity investments for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were approximately $3.9 million and $1.3 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we funded the remaining $12.4 million commitment on our Riverfront preferred equity investment. As of September 30, 2021, we had fully funded our commitments on all of our preferred equity investments.

Integra Peaks Mezzanine Loan

On June 30, 2021, we entered into a co-lender agreement to participate in a $19.5 million mezzanine loan originated for the purpose of developing a 300-unit multifamily apartment community located in Reno, Nevada. The project is expected to consist of five 4-story elevator serviced garden-style apartments situated on a 12.1 acre site. The borrower, an unaffiliated third party, will use the mezzanine loan proceeds, along with $14.1 million in common equity and $42.5 million in construction loan proceeds to complete the project.

Pursuant to the terms of the co-lender agreement, we committed to fund a total of $13.0 million of the mezzanine loan, with the remaining $6.5 million funded by our co-lender (an unaffiliated third party). Generally, we and our co-lender participate on parity with respect to draw requests, interest and priority in repayment at maturity. The mezzanine loan bears interest at a rate of 12.0% per annum, compounded monthly, and, subject to certain limitations and fees, may be prepaid in whole or in part.

As of September 30, 2021, the borrower had funded its entire common equity commitment and we had funded approximately $9.7 million of our commitment under the co-lender agreement. The undrawn mezzanine loan proceeds are expected to be fully drawn by the end of 2021, at which point the borrower will commence draws on the construction loan. The mezzanine loan has an original maturity date of March 30, 2024 with two one-year extension options.

Net interest income from the Integra Peaks Mezzanine Loan was approximately $216,000 for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and is classified within other revenues on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

7. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

We estimate the fair value of our financial instruments using available market information and valuation methodologies we believe to be appropriate. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, other assets, related party payables, and accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Fair value measurements are categorized into one of three levels of the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of significant input used. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. Considerable judgment and a high degree of subjectivity are involved in developing these estimates. These estimates may differ from the actual amounts that we could realize upon settlement.

The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Other observable inputs, either directly or indirectly, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, including:

•Quoted prices for similar assets/liabilities in active markets;

•Quoted prices for identical or similar assets/liabilities in non-active markets (e.g., few transactions, limited information, non-current prices, high variability over time);

•Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset/liability (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, volatility, default rates); and

•Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by other observable market data.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data.

8. Preferred Stock

We have three classes of preferred stock outstanding, Series 2016, Series 2017 and Series 2019, each of which were offered at a price of $10.00 per share. Our Series 2016 Preferred Stock and the Series 2017 Preferred Stock were issued in connection with the CRII Merger in exchange for the corresponding series of preferred stock held at CRII. The Series 2019 Preferred Stock is currently being offered for sale in the Private Offering.

Each class of preferred stock receives a fixed preferred dividend based on a cumulative, but not compounded, annual return. Each class has a fixed redemption date with extension options at our discretion, subject to an increase in the preferred dividend rate, and is classified as a liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Dividends to preferred stockholders are classified as interest expense on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. We can also redeem our preferred stock early for cash plus all accrued and unpaid dividends.

Information on our preferred stock is as follows:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we incurred approximately $2.2 million and $451,000 in dividends on our Series 2019 Preferred Stock, respectively. During the period from the CRII Merger closing on May 7, 2021 to September 30, 2021, we incurred approximately $4.0 million and $78,000 in dividends on our Series 2016 Preferred Stock and Series 2017 Preferred Stock, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we repurchased 10,000 shares of Series 2019 Preferred Stock for $90,000 and during the period from the CRII Merger closing on May 7, 2021 to September 30, 2021 we repurchased 96,490 shares of Series 2016 Preferred Stock for approximately $916,000. No shares of Series 2019 Preferred Stock were repurchased during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

9. Stockholders' Equity

Other than the 11,425,280 of total common stock issued in connection with the CRII Merger, the CMRI Merger and the CMRII Merger, no shares of common stock were issued during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2021 as our offering was suspended. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we issued approximately $7.4 million and $27.4 million of common stock in the Offering, respectively. As of September 30, 2021, we had 23,576,045 of common stock outstanding, of which 23,558,527 was Class A common stock and 17,518 was Class TX (formerly Class T) common stock.

10. Related-Party Transactions

Asset Management Fee

Under the amended and restated advisory agreement entered May 7, 2021, CROP pays our advisor a monthly management fee equal to 0.0625% of GAV (gross asset value of CROP, calculated pursuant to our valuation guidelines and reflective of the ownership interest held by CROP in such gross assets), subject to a cap of 0.125% of net asset value of CROP. Prior to May 7, 2021, we paid our advisor an annual asset management fee in an amount equal to 1.25% per annum (paid monthly) of the gross book value of our assets as of the last day of the prior month.

Asset management fees to our advisor for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were approximately $2.4 million and $811,000, respectively. Asset management fees to our advisor for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were approximately $4.7 million and $1.9 million, respectively.

Performance Participation Allocation

The Special Limited Partner, so long as the advisory agreement has not been terminated, holds a performance participation interest in CROP that entitles it to receive an allocation of CROP's total return to its capital account. Total return is defined as all distributions accrued or paid (without duplication) on the Participating Partnership units (all units in our Operating Partnership with the exception of preferred units) plus the change in the aggregate net asset value of such Participating Partnership units. Under the Operating Partnership agreement, the annual total return will be allocated solely to the Special Limited Partner only after the other unit holders have received a total return of 5% (after recouping any loss carryforward amount) and such allocation will continue until the allocation between the Special Limited Partner and all other unit holders is equal to 12.5% and 87.5%, respectively. Thereafter, the Special Limited Partner will receive an allocation of 12.5% of the annual total return. The allocation of the performance participation interest is ultimately determined at the end of each calendar year, accrues monthly and will be paid in cash or Class I units at the election of the Special Limited Partner after the completion of each calendar year.

During the period from the CRII Merger closing on May 7, 2021 to September 30, 2021, we recognized $36.0 million of performance participation expense, an increase of $29.5 million from June 30, 2021, as a result of the increase in the value of our net assets. CROP's Operating Partnership agreement was amended with the CRII Merger in May 2021 to provide for the performance participation allocation. Therefore, no performance participation allocation was recognized prior to the CRII Merger.

Other

As a result of the CRII Merger, employees who had previously provided services to us and for which we reimbursed related expenses to our advisor are now our employees. As such, we had no reimbursable company operating expenses to our advisor or its affiliates during the three months ended September 30, 2021. Reimbursable company operating expenses to our advisor or its affiliates for the three months ended September 31, 2020 were approximately $264,000, respectively. Reimbursable company operating expenses to our advisor or its affiliates for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were approximately $331,000 and $733,000, respectively.

11. Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling Interests - Limited Partners

Common Limited OP Units and LTIP Units are CROP units not owned by CCI and collectively referred to as “Noncontrolling Interests – Limited Partners.”

Common Limited OP Units - Common Limited OP Units share in the profits, losses and cash distributions of CROP as defined in the partnership agreement, subject to certain special allocations and receive distributions equivalent to distributions declared to the holders of CCI common stock.

LTIP Units - Certain executives and key employees receive LTIP Units in CROP as equity incentive compensation. LTIP Units are a separate series of limited partnership units, which are convertible into Common Limited OP Units upon achieving certain time vesting and performance requirements. Unless otherwise provided, the time vesting LTIP Units (whether vested or unvested) entitle the holder to receive current distributions from CROP, and the performance LTIP Units (whether vested or unvested) entitle the holder to receive 10% of the current distributions from CROP during the applicable performance period. When the LTIP Units have vested and sufficient income has been allocated to the holder of the vested LTIP Units, the LTIP Units will automatically convert to Common Limited OP Units in CROP on a one-for-one basis. LTIP Units constitute profits interests and have no voting rights in CROP.

In conjunction with the CRII Merger, 528,451 time vesting LTIP units were awarded to executives as retention grants. As of September 30, 2021, there were 661,391 unvested time LTIP awards and 430,851 unvested performance LTIP awards outstanding. Share-based compensation was approximately $1.0 million and $49,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Total unrecognized compensation expense for LTIP Units at September 30, 2021 is approximately $7.0 million and is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis through June 2025.

Noncontrolling Interests - Partially Owned Entities

As of September 30, 2021, noncontrolling interests in entities not wholly owned by us ranged from 1% to 81%, with the average being 24%.

12. Commitments and Contingencies

Integra Peaks Mezzanine Loan

As of September 30, 2021, we had a remaining commitment of up to approximately $3.3 million on the Integra Peaks Mezzanine Loan.

Litigation

We are subject to a variety of legal actions in the ordinary course of our business, most of which are covered by liability insurance. While the resolution of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, as of September 30, 2021, we believe the final outcome of such legal proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial position or results of operations.

Environmental

As an owner of real estate, we are subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws. Compliance with existing laws has not had a material adverse effect on us. However, we cannot predict the impact of new or changed laws or regulations on our properties or on properties that we may acquire in the future.

Distribution Reinvestment Plan

We have adopted a distribution reinvestment plan whereby stockholders may elect to have us apply their dividends and other distributions to the purchase of additional shares of common stock. The distribution reinvestment plan was suspended in December 2020 along with the Offering. On August 10, 2021, our board of directors adopted an amended and restated distribution reinvestment plan in connection with the registration of new classes of shares in the Follow-on Offering. The per share purchase price for shares purchased pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan will be equal to the transaction price for such shares in effect on the distribution date. Shares will generally be sold at the prior month’s NAV per share of the class of share being purchased (which will be our most recently disclosed NAV per share at such time). We may offer shares at a price

F - 20

that we believe reflects the NAV per share of such stock more appropriately than the prior month’s NAV per share (including by updating a previously disclosed transaction price) where we believe there has been a material change (positive or negative) to our NAV per share since the end of the prior month. However, our board of directors may determine, in its sole discretion, to designate certain distributions as ineligible for reinvestment through the distribution reinvestment plan, without notice to participants, without suspending the plan and without affecting the future operation of the plan with respect to participants. As of November 4, 2021 when the SEC declared the Follow-on Offering effective, we have resumed our distribution reinvestment plan offering.

Share Repurchase Programs

Preferred Stock

Our board of directors has adopted a share repurchase program with respect to our preferred stock whereby, upon the request of a holder of our Series 2016, Series 2017 or Series 2019 preferred stock, we may, at the sole discretion of the board of directors, repurchase their shares at the following prices, which are dependent on how long such preferred stockholder has held each share:


Share Purchase Anniversary						Repurchase Price
Less than 1 year						$8.80
1 year						$9.00
2 years						$9.20
3 years						$9.40
4 years						$9.60
5 years						$9.80
A stockholder’s death or complete disability, 2 years or more (Series 2019), 6 years or more (Series 2016 and Series 2017)						$10.00

Repurchase information on our Preferred Stock is disclosed in Note 8 above.

Common Stock

In December 2020, in conjunction with the pursuit of the mergers described in Note 1, we suspended our share repurchase program that permits holders of common stock to request, on a periodic basis, that we repurchase all or any portion of their shares. Our board of directors approved the resumption of the share repurchase program effective for repurchases for the month ended June 30, 2021 onward.

Our share repurchase program as currently in effect provides that we may make repurchases with an aggregate value of up to 2% of our aggregate net asset value or "NAV" each month and up to 5% of our NAV each quarter. We have no restrictions on the source of funds used to repurchase shares pursuant to our share repurchase program. For our Class T, Class D and Class I shares, the repurchase price will be equal to the transaction price at the date of repurchase, or at 95% of the transaction price on the repurchase date if the shares have been held for less than a year.

For our Class A and Class TX (formerly Class T) shares, the repurchase price will be equal to the transaction price at the date of repurchase, subject to the following: (i) shares that have been outstanding six years or more will be repurchased at 100% of the transaction price, (ii) shares that have been outstanding for at least five years and less than six years will be repurchased at 95.0% of the transaction price, (iii) shares that have been outstanding for at least three years and less than five years will be repurchased at 90.0% of the transaction price and (iv) shares that have been outstanding for at least one year and less than three years will be repurchased at 85.0% of the transaction price. The transaction price is the then-current offering price per share and is generally the prior month’s NAV per share for such class.

During both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we repurchased 81,524 shares of Class A common stock pursuant to our share repurchase program for approximately $839,000, at an average repurchase price of $10.29. During both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we repurchased 31,307 shares of Class A common stock pursuant to our share repurchase program for approximately $269,000, at an average repurchase price of $8.58. No shares of Class TX (formerly Class T) common stock were repurchased during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

Alpha Mill Transaction

On November 2, 2021, we sold to certain unaffiliated third parties approximately 43% of our 100% ownership interest in Alpha Mill apartments, a 267-unit apartment community located in Charlotte, North Carolina. Pursuant to the terms of the private offering through which the third party sales occurred, we may sell up to an additional 37% through March 31, 2022 (which date may be extended to August 31, 2022). We will retain at least a 20% ownership interest in Alpha Mill apartments under the terms of the offering and financing documents, and will also continue to provide property and asset management services. Among other material terms, the offering provides that each purchaser of an interest in Alpha Mill apartments will enter into an option agreement which provides us the right to re-acquire such purchasers interest at fair value beginning on October 31, 2023 (but only after any purchaser has owned their interest in Alpha Mill apartments for at least two years). The purchaser may elect to receive limited partnership units in CROP (our operating partnership) or cash in the event we exercise our option. As a result of this transaction, Alpha Mill will be deconsolidated on November 2, 2021 and our remaining ownership interest in this property will be recorded as an investment in unconsolidated real estate.
