Reliant Real Estate Management Launches Reliant/Midgard Athens DST I

$8,145,740 Offering Provides Accredited Investors Access to Institutional-Grade Self-Storage Asset in Athens, Alabama

Roswell, GA — Reliant Real Estate Management ("Reliant" or, RREM, or the "Firm"), a private real estate investment sponsor focused on Self Storage, today announced the launch of the Reliant/Midgard Athens DST I (RMAT, or the "Offering"), an $8,145,740 Delaware Statutory Trust offering providing accredited investors with fractional ownership interests in a self-storage facility located in Athens, Alabama. RMAT represents RREM's inaugural DST offering, marking a significant milestone in the Firm's continued expansion of its investor product suite within the Private Wealth Channel.

RMAT is a 459-unit self-storage facility comprising approximately 60,510 rentable square feet situated in Athens, AL, e.g., a corridor of northern Alabama. The asset features climate and non-climate units, 24/7 video surveillance, gated keypad access, exterior lighting, a fenced perimeter, on-site management, and U-Haul rental availability. The property was built in 2021 and, at the time of offering, was 91% occupied. It is operated by Midgard Self-Storage, RREM's property management company.

Structured as a Delaware Statutory Trust, the Offering is designed to provide eligible investors — including those seeking potential tax-deferral planning through Section 1031, subject to investor eligibility and applicable tax rules — with access to a professionally managed, income-producing real estate asset. DST interests are offered as securities pursuant to Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and are available exclusively to accredited investors. The minimum investment is $50,000. Reliant has engaged ARKAP Markets as dealer-manager for the Offering, and Peak Capital Solutions for wholesale distribution.

"The launch of Reliant' s DST platform with RMAT, is a meaningful step forward for us and reflects our commitment to delivering institutional-quality real estate investment products to the Private Wealth community. Self-Storage is a time-tested real estate asset category across multiple real estate market cycles. We believe Athens, Alabama represents a market with strong demand drivers and accelerating fundamentals to support our Self Storage thesis. Tax advantaged 1031/DSTs will remain a key component in portfolios solving for tax efficiency in the coming years. We look forward to working with financial advisors and their clients to provide access to Storage real estate and tax advantaged solutions within Private Wealth."

- Chris Zollo, Managing Director, Reliant Real Estate Management

"For decades, the self-storage sector has demonstrated resilience across multiple market cycles. It offers meaningful operational efficiencies, exhibits durable demographically demand driven fundamentals, and predictable income. The Athens, Alabama metropolitan area has experienced rapid population growth and significant employment expansion driven by private investment contributing to elevated occupancy and sustained rent growth across the submarket. RREM's investment thesis for RMAT is predicated on these favorable attributes, and the launch of our DST platform will allow us to provide similar tax advantaged solutions to accredited investors through Self Storage.
