Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Supplement shall have the same meanings as in the Prospectus.

The purposes of this Supplement are as follows:

 

 

to disclose the acquisition of single family housing properties;

 

 

to disclose the transaction price for each class of our common stock as of November 1, 2021;

Single Family Housing Acquisitions

We recently acquired 66 single family homes in conjunction with our relationship with Sparrow for a total

purchase price of $23.2 million. The properties acquired are located in various target markets throughout the

United States, including Arizona, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas.

November 1, 2021 Transaction Price

The transaction price for each share class of our common stock for subscriptions accepted as of November 1, 2021 (and repurchases as of October 31, 2021) is as follows:

 

     Transaction Price
(per share)
 

Class T

   $ 11.92

Class S

   $ 11.81

Class D

   $ 11.99

Class I

   $ 11.95

The transaction price for each of our Class T, Class S, Class D and Class I shares is equal to such class’s NAV per share as of September 30, 2021. A detailed presentation 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.

September 30, 2021 NAV Per Share

We calculate NAV per share in accordance with the valuation guidelines that have been approved by our board of directors. Our NAV per share, which is updated as of the last calendar day of each month, is posted on our website at www.nuveenglobalreit.com. Please refer to “Net Asset Value Calculation and Valuation Guidelines” in the Prospectus for information on how our NAV is determined. The Advisor is ultimately responsible for determining our NAV. As of September 30, 2021, our properties have been appraised in accordance with our valuation guidelines and such appraisals were prepared by our independent valuation advisor.

Stockholder servicing fees only apply to Class T, Class S and Class D shares. For purposes of NAV, we recognize the stockholder servicing fee as a reduction of NAV on a monthly basis as such fee is paid. Under GAAP, we accrue the full cost of the stockholder servicing fee as an offering cost at the time we sell Class T, Class S and Class D shares. As of September 30, 2021, we have accrued under GAAP approximately $16.3 million of stockholder servicing fees payable to the Dealer Manager related to the Class T, Class S and Class D shares sold.
