What is this, in one paragraph?
This Trust owns the land under a downtown Fort Worth hotel, not the hotel itself. Capital Square's Delaware statutory trust — fractional real estate ownership that can qualify for 1031 exchange treatment — holds fee-simple title to the site, the landlord's interest in a 99-year ground lease, and a reversionary interest in the improvements.1 It is zero coupon: no cash reaches investors before a sale or refinancing.1
Sponsor-reported, from SEC filings and cited sources.

What exactly is the property?
The hotel standing here is a redevelopment of the former Hotel Texas Annex, vacant for nearly two decades, and it opened on August 29, 2024.3 What Capital Square bought on August 19, 2025 was not the hotel but the roughly 0.92-acre parcel beneath it, the landlord's position in the existing ground lease, and a reversionary interest in the improvements, at a stated investment cost of $41,530,000.1 It announced the purchase on September 3, 2025.2

Who is the tenant, and what's the lease?
The Trust is ground landlord only: the ground tenant holds the improvements, so the Trust collects ground rent rather than hotel revenue, and Capital Square describes the property as 100% leased to a single tenant.1 Remington Hospitality operates the hotel.3 Ashford Trust has reported consolidating 815 Commerce MM, the entity that developed the property, since May 31, 2023.4
How are sales going?
These are the sponsor’s own numbers. They can lag what has actually sold, and they do not confirm that interests are still available.
The sponsor reported this offering sold out without filing per-sale amendments, so there is no raise history to show.
How is it financed, and what does it pay?
A zero-coupon structure means ground rent services the mortgage debt instead of reaching investors during the hold; capital comes back, if at all, only on a sale or refinancing.1 Capital Square described this as a high-leverage DST when it announced the acquisition on September 3, 2025.2 No lender is named in the materials reviewed.

Who's behind it?
Capital Square sponsors tax-advantaged real estate programs for 1031 exchange investors; here it took the landlord's side of a ground lease rather than owning or operating a hotel. The firm announced the Fort Worth ground-lease acquisition on behalf of this Trust on September 3, 2025.2 On August 25, 2026 it named Phillip Jensen senior vice president of national accounts for the Northwest territory, working with Albert Thompson on broker-dealer and registered investment adviser relationships.

What does the paperwork say?
The Trust's Form D — the short notice an issuer sends the SEC for a securities sale made without registration — has never been amended, so the federal record still reflects the launch position.5 The exemption claimed permits general advertising while limiting purchasers to verified accredited investors, those meeting SEC income or net-worth tests.5

Common questions
Is Le Meridien Fort Worth Downtown still raising money?
Sold out: the source record identifies this offering as Fully Subscribed. The sponsor’s SEC filings show the offering raising money within the past 15 months. A filing does not by itself confirm you can still buy in.
Where does Top1031 get the data for Le Meridien Fort Worth Downtown?
Top1031 builds this record from the sponsor’s own SEC filings and cited sponsor disclosures. Filings can lag what is happening now. A Form D filing does not mean the SEC approved, endorsed, or verified the offering.
What does the Trust actually own — the hotel or the land?
The land and the landlord's position over it. Capital Square's offering materials state the Trust was formed to acquire fee-simple title to the approximately 0.92-acre site at 815 Commerce Street in Fort Worth, the ground-landlord interest in the existing long-term ground lease, and a reversionary interest in the improvements operated as the Le Méridien hotel — meaning the building reverts to the landowner when the lease ends.[1] During the lease term, the improvements belong to the ground tenant.
Why does this offering pay no distributions?
It is a zero-coupon structure: ground rent goes to servicing the mortgage debt instead of flowing to investors during the hold. Capital Square's brochure states that the highly leveraged property will produce no distributions to purchasers before disposition, so returns are deferred rather than paid periodically, and puts the debt at approximately $32,300,000 against a $41,530,000 investment cost.[1] Investors in such structures look to an eventual sale or refinancing, and leverage magnifies outcomes in both directions.
Who owns and operates the hotel?
Not the Trust. Le Méridien Fort Worth Downtown opened on August 29, 2024 with Remington Hospitality as operator, following the complete redevelopment of the former Hotel Texas Annex.[3] Ashford Trust has reported to the SEC that it became the primary beneficiary of 815 Commerce MM — the entity that developed the hotel — on May 31, 2023 and consolidates it.[4] Lodging Magazine reported on August 6, 2026 that Remington's in-house social media team took over the hotel's accounts four months after it opened. The Trust's role is ground landlord, entitled to ground rent rather than hotel operating income.
Does "100% leased to a single tenant" mean the hotel is full?
No. That phrase describes the land being leased to one ground tenant, not guest-room occupancy, and it is a sponsor-reported description; Capital Square also warns that a default by the operator or ground tenant would adversely affect the Trust's operations.[1] Capital Square reported the ground lease as a 99-year unsubordinated lease with 95 years remaining when it announced the acquisition, with 2% annual rent escalations.[2] No independent hotel guest-occupancy data for this property was located in the exact-entity materials reviewed.
Is the Offering still open to new investors?
The record is mixed. Top1031's listing data marks the Offering fully subscribed, while the SEC file holds only the initial Form D, filed August 26, 2025 as a new notice and never amended, so the federal record still reflects the launch position and a $50,000 minimum investment.[5] Separately, an intermediary page from Baker 1031 updated August 11, 2026 still showed $1,962,566 of equity available — a secondary listing that no later issuer filing confirms.[6] Because those pictures differ, confirm current availability with the sponsor or your broker-dealer before naming this Trust on a 45-day exchange identification.
What happens to the hotel at the end of the ground lease?
Capital Square states the Trust holds a reversionary interest in the improvements — the landowner's right to the building when the ground lease expires.[1] With a 99-year term and 95 years remaining as of the September 2025 announcement, that reversion sits far beyond any realistic hold for this Trust; the practical exit for investors is a sale or refinancing of the land position, and the governing terms are set out in the PPM, the private placement memorandum for the deal.[2]
