Asset Acquisitions

Simmons Trace Controlled Subsidiary - Kissimmee, FL

On August 30, 2022, we acquired ownership of a “majority-owned subsidiary”, FR - Simmons Trace, LLC (the “Simmons Trace Controlled Subsidiary”), for a purchase price of approximately $344,000 which is the initial stated value of our equity interest in a new investment round in the Simmons Trace Controlled Subsidiary (the “Simmons Trace eREIT VII Investment”). Fundrise Real Estate Interval Fund, LLC acquired ownership of the remaining equity interest in the new investment round in the Simmons Trace Controlled Subsidiary, for a purchase price of approximately $3,093,000 (the “Simmons Trace Interval Fund Investment” and, together with the Simmons Trace Growth eREIT VII Investment, the “Simmons Trace Investment”). The Simmons Trace Controlled Subsidiary used the proceeds of the Simmons Trace Investment to acquire eight (8) homes in the planned Simmons Trace subdivision generally located off of Simmons Road and Sharp Road in Kissimmee, FL (the “Simmons Trace Property”). We anticipate the Simmons Trace Controlled Subsidiary, or one of our affiliates, will purchase up to one hundred and eight (108) homes in the Simmons Trace Property from the home builder as construction progresses and certificates of occupancy are secured. The initial Simmons Trace Growth VII eREIT Investment was funded with proceeds from our Offering, and the closing of the initial Simmons Trace Investment and initial tranche of the eight (8) homes occurred concurrently.

Simmons Trace Controlled Subsidiary is managed by us.

Pursuant to the agreements governing the Simmons Trace Growth eREIT VII Investment, we have authority for the management of the Simmons Trace Controlled Subsidiary, including the Simmons Trace Property. In addition, an affiliate of our sponsor earned an acquisition fee of approximately 1.0% of the total purchase price, paid directly by the Simmons Trace Controlled Subsidiary.

The total purchase price for the Simmons Trace Property is anticipated to be approximately $45,176,000, an average of approximately $418,000 per home. We anticipate additional hard costs of approximately $62,000 for miscellaneous minor capital expenditures, as well as additional soft costs and financing costs of approximately $1,262,000 bringing the total projected project cost for the Simmons Trace Property to approximately $46,500,000. The home builder expects to deliver approximately fourteen (14) homes per month, with full delivery of the one hundred and eight (108) homes expected in March 2023. The Simmons Trace Property consists of a mix of unit types and floorplans, ranging from 1,426 square foot 3 bedroom, 2 bath detached single family homes to 2,313 square foot 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath detached single family homes. Professional third-party property management will be installed to manage the Simmons Trace Property.

The following table contains underwriting assumptions for the Simmons Trace Property. Assumptions are presented at the asset level. All of the values in the table below are assumptions that we believe to be reasonable; however, there can be no guarantee that such results will be achieved.
