Capital Square, a leading sponsor of tax-advantaged real estate investments and a national developer and manager of housing communities, has fully subscribed CS1031 Richmond Active Living Apartments, DST, a Regulation D private placement offering that raised equity from 108 investors. The Delaware statutory trust holds a 165-unit, Class A, age-restricted multifamily community in the Short Pump suburb of Richmond, Virginia, near Capital Square’s headquarters.
“We are experiencing a silver tsunami, with over 11,000 U.S. baby boomers turning 65 every day. This demographic shift is creating unprecedented demand for housing designed to meet the needs of active adults,” said Louis Rogers, founder and co-chief executive officer of Capital Square. “Housing assets in general are attractive investments because housing is a necessity. Housing assets designed specifically for active adults are particularly compelling for several reasons: this demographic has the financial resources to pay for quality housing, residents tend to remain longer than those in traditional multifamily communities, and they typically take excellent care of their residences. Together, these characteristics create an attractive investment opportunity that is well suited for DST investors seeking stable cash flow and appreciation.”
Everleigh Short Pump features one-, two- and three-bedroom units averaging 1,001 square feet, with nine-foot ceilings and premium interior finishes. Community amenities include a heated swimming pool, yoga studio, sun deck, great room, resident lounge and theater room. An on-site activities director organizes events for residents including happy hours, fitness programs, and creative and educational classes.
The Short Pump suburb gives residents access to 5.5 million square feet of retail, restaurants, entertainment and dining. Everleigh Short Pump is located across from a Kroger-anchored shopping center and less than a half mile from Broad Street, Short Pump’s primary commercial corridor.
Nearby, Eli Lilly, a global pharmaceutical company with a market capitalization in excess of $1 trillion, is constructing a $5 billion manufacturing facility on 227 acres, expected to create 650 permanent jobs and 1,800 construction jobs. Additionally, the LEGO Group recently broke ground on a 1.7 million-square-foot, carbon-neutral precision manufacturing facility in Chesterfield County, part of the Greater Richmond region, a more than $1 billion investment expected to support more than 1,760 jobs.
“The full subscription of CS1031 Richmond Active Living Apartments, DST reflects strong investor demand for age-restricted multifamily in high-growth markets,” said Whitson Huffman, co-chief executive officer and chief investment officer of Capital Square. “Short Pump’s economic fundamentals, including major corporate investments from companies like Eli Lilly and LEGO, a 3.7% unemployment rate and a rapidly expanding 55-plus demographic within five miles of the property, made this another excellent investment for the DST program only minutes from Capital Square’s headquarters.”
As of May 2026, Virginia’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate stood at 3.8%, and the Richmond metro area’s rate was 3.4%, both below the national unemployment rate of 4.3%, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and the City of Richmond. Richmond Economic Development reports that over the past 10 years, the city of Richmond alone has experienced approximately 11% population growth. Within a five-mile radius of the property, more than 30% of residents are age 55 and older, and another 12% are between 45 and 54.
