Peachtree Group has introduced its newest Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) investment with the acquisition of a 131,040-square-foot, Class-A industrial property in Mansfield, TX, part of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Completed in 2025, the rear-load facility was purchased at $180 per square foot—below comparable market sales—and is fully leased to Ferguson, North America’s largest value-added distributor for professional contractors. 

“In today’s higher-rate environment, where tighter credit and volatile valuations challenge traditional ownership, DSTs have emerged as a compelling alternative,” said Greg Friedman, managing principal and CEO of Peachtree. “They deliver attractive cash flows backed by institutional-quality assets, while also offering tax advantages, professional management and diversification.” 

Ferguson entered into a new 10-year corporate lease in March 2025, featuring 3% annual rent escalations, two five-year renewal options, and minimal landlord responsibilities. “Expanding into the industrial sector is a natural step toward building a diversified DST platform that can perform across cycles,” added Tim Witt, president of 1031 Exchange and DST Products at Peachtree. 

Since the launch of its DST program in 2022, Peachtree has completed roughly $320 million in debt-free DST transactions.
