The investor event highlighted multiple in-depth panel discussions from many of the nation’s top DST and 721 UPREIT sponsor companies and keynote presentations from members of the Kay Properties team.
BISWIRE/May 14, 2025 — More than 150 accredited investors from across the United States showed up for the Kay Investor Day investment conference, hosted by Kay Properties & Investments, a leading national real estate investment firm specializing in Delaware Statutory Trust (DST), 1031 exchange and 721 UPREIT offerings.
Hosted in Torrance, CA, the Kay Properties Investor Day conference brought together all the key pieces of the 1031 Exchange puzzle – accredited investors, Kay Properties' team of DST specialists, and top DST and 721 UPREIT real estate sponsors, creating an afternoon of expert insights and market intelligence.
“The Kay Investor Day conference marks a pivotal moment in the history of Kay Properties & Investments. Seeing so many current and prospective investors from across the nation gather to learn about our firm and the power of Delaware Statutory Trusts was truly gratifying. When I started working with DSTs and 721 UPREITs nearly twenty years ago, DSTs were virtually unknown. But through relentless education, transparency, and hands-on guidance for thousands of clients, our team has helped shape the future of 1031 exchanges, Delaware Statutory Trusts and 721 exchanges along with passive real estate investing. Today wasn’t just an event—it was a testament to the trust we’ve earned and the tangible impact we’ve made on this industry,” said Dwight Kay, founder and CEO of Kay Properties & Investments
Multiple DST and 721 UPREIT Sponsor Companies In Attendance
One of the most unique aspects of the Kay Investor Day conference was that it allowed some of the nation’s top DST and 721 UPREIT sponsor companies to speak directly with Kay Properties clients, educating investors on strategies that ranged from real estate asset class selection, 721 Exchange UPREIT due diligence strategies, and 1031 exchange DST investment trends.
Participating sponsor companies were able to share with investors their history and background as DST sponsors as well as the particular real estate asset classes they focus on. Conversely, the Kay Investor Day conference also allowed investors to get a closer look at the presenting real estate sponsors and speak with them directly about how they specifically provide their DST and 721 UPREIT strategies to high net worth clients.
“I think what I got out of the Kay Investor Day was the quality of the DST sponsors presenting, and the emphasis Kay Properties puts on due diligence and commitment to their investors. The whole day was very impressive,” said one investor who traveled from Hawaii to attend the event.
