Portfolio Highlights
March Performance
Our negative return during March 2023 was primarily driven by a decline in the value of our interest rate caps and swaps. Despite our interest rate caps and swaps only representing around $0.9B of our $29.0B total asset value at the beginning of March 2023, the values declined by approximately 20% during the month. While it may create some short-term volatility, we believe our balance sheet is a source of strength.
At present, 98% of our debt is effectively fixed at approximately 3.3% and has more than five years of duration remaining. In addition, we have minimal debt maturities over the next three years with: 1% maturing in 2023, 1% in 2024, and 9% in 2025. We believe this will help us navigate through the current market turbulence.
While interest rate volatility presented a short-term negative to the monthly NAV, lower interest rates and a lower overall yield environment are supportive of lower cap rates and therefore higher real estate values over the long-term. Real estate represents $25.5B or 92% of our total asset value as of March 31, 2023, which we believe is a far more important driver of our long-term performance.
Portfolio Update
Our portfolio remains approximately 83% allocated to rental residential and industrial. When you include floating rate loans, self-storage, extended-stay hotels (which perform like rental residential), hospitality, and net lease, our portfolio is 93% allocated to sectors that are performing well in the current environment. Our portfolio is 75% allocated to the southeast and southwest U.S. with almost 1/3 of our portfolio allocated to Florida and Texas – which continue to see strong population and employment growth.
Rental residential continues to maintain approximately 95% occupancy. Over the last quarter, rent increases over expiring market rate apartment leases remain at 6%. Industrial fundamentals also remain strong with occupancy holding greater than 98%. Over the past quarter, rent growth on new leases over expiring leases has grown 53%.

The minimal exposure our portfolio does have to office is in strong performing markets and in Trophy/Class A quality properties. There remains good demand for high quality office in superior locations. Over the last 15 months, we signed 506,000 square feet of office leases at rents that are 3.4% above our pre-COVID acquisition underwriting. In fact, two of our office assets in Boston and Atlanta have increased their occupancy percentage from 90% at year-end 2021 to higher than 97% currently. Overall, our office portfolio has 91% occupancy and over 6-years of lease term remaining.
May 1, 2023 Transaction Price
The transaction price for each share class of our common stock for subscriptions accepted as of May 1, 2023 (and repurchases as of April 30, 2023) is as follows:
| | | | |
| | Transaction Price (per share) | |
Class S | | $ | 25.72 | |
Class T | | $ | 25.73 | |
Class D | | $ | 25.28 | |
Class I | | $ | 25.54 | |
The May 1, 2023 transaction price for each of our share classes is equal to such class’s NAV per share as of March 31, 2023. A detailed presentation of the NAV per share is set forth below. The purchase price of our common stock for each share class equals the transaction price of such class, plus applicable upfront selling commissions and dealer manager fees.
March 31, 2023 NAV Per Share
NAV per share is calculated in accordance with the valuation guidelines that have been approved by our board of directors. Our NAV per share, which is updated as of the last calendar day of each month, is posted on our website at www.starwoodNAV.reit. Please refer to “Net Asset Value Calculation and Valuation Guidelines” in the Prospectus for information on how our NAV is determined. The Advisor is ultimately responsible for determining our NAV. All of our property investments are appraised annually by third party appraisal firms in accordance with our valuation guidelines and such appraisals are reviewed by our independent valuation advisor. We have included a breakdown of the components of total NAV and NAV per share as of March 31, 2023 along with the immediately preceding month.
Our total NAV presented in the following tables includes the NAV of our Class S, Class T, Class D, and Class I common shares, as well as partnership interests of the Operating Partnership held by parties other than the Company. The following table provides a breakdown of the major components of our NAV as of March 31, 2023 ($ and shares/units in thousands):
| | | | |
Components of NAV | | March 31, 2023 | |
Investments in real estate | | $ | 25,505,001 | |
Investments in real estate debt | | | 1,658,769 | |
Cash and cash equivalents | | | 357,689 | |

Net asset value | | $ | 13,044,307 | |
Number of outstanding shares/units | | | 509,395 | |
(1)Stockholder servicing fees only apply to Class S, Class T and Class D shares. For purposes of NAV we recognize the stockholder servicing fee as a reduction of NAV on a monthly basis. Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), we accrue the full cost of the stockholder servicing fee as an offering cost at the time we sell Class S, Class T and Class D shares. As of March 31, 2023, we have accrued under GAAP $390.9 million of stockholder servicing fees payable to the Dealer Manager related to the Class S, Class T and Class D shares sold.

(1)Includes the Operating Partnership units held by the Special Limited Partner and other third parties.
Set forth below are the weighted averages of the key assumptions in the discounted cash flow methodology used in the March 31, 2023 valuations, based on property types. Once we own more than one self-storage and one extended stay investment we will include the key assumptions for the property types.
| | | | |
Property Type | | Discount Rate | | Exit Capitalization Rate |
Multifamily | | 6.4% | | 5.2% |
Single-Family Rental | | 6.5% | | 5.3% |
Industrial | | 6.6% | | 5.4% |
Office | | 7.6% | | 6.1% |
Other | | 8.2% | | 6.9% |
For quarter-end months, these assumptions are determined by the independent valuation advisor or third-party appraisers. In addition,
the independent valuation advisor reviews the assumptions from the third-party appraisals. The Advisor reviews the assumptions from
each of the appraisals regardless of who performs the work. A change in these assumptions would impact the calculation of the value
of our property investments. For example, assuming all other factors remain unchanged, the changes listed below would result in the
following effects on our investment values:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Input | | Hypothetical Change | | Multifamily Investment Values | | Single-Family Rental Investment Values | | Industrial Investment Values | | Office Investment Values | | Other Investment Values |
Discount Rate | | 0.25% decrease | | +2.0% | | +2.0% | | +2.0% | | +1.9% | | +1.9% |
(weighted average) | | 0.25% increase | | (1.9)% | | (1.9)% | | (1.9)% | | (1.9)% | | (1.8)% |
Exit Capitalization Rate | | 0.25% decrease | | +3.2% | | +3.1% | | +3.2% | | +2.7% | | +2.3% |
(weighted average) | | 0.25% increase | | (2.9)% | | (2.9)% | | (2.9)% | | (2.6)% | | (2.1)% |
