NAV Per Share Declined
The Net Asset Value (NAV) per share for all classes decreased as of February 28, 2026, compared to January 31, 2026 (e.g., Class S from $20.02 to $19.92), with total NAV falling from $8.18 billion to $8.12 billion.

Severe Share Repurchase Limitations Persist
The company continued to limit share repurchases to 0.5% of NAV per month, resulting in only approximately 3.5% of January requests ($38.7 million) and 3.2% of February requests ($38.5 million) being satisfied. This indicates significant unmet investor demand for liquidity.

Limited Sales in Public Offering
Since the offering became effective on February 4, 2026, the company has issued and sold 597,316 shares for total proceeds of approximately $11.9 million, a small amount relative to the $10.0 billion authorized offering.
auto_awesomeAnalysis
This prospectus supplement reveals a decline in Starwood REIT's Net Asset Value (NAV) per share for February 2026, following a similar trend from the previous month. Critically, the company continues to face significant shareholder demand for repurchases, satisfying only approximately 3.5% of requests in January and 3.2% in February due to self-imposed monthly limits. This indicates severe liquidity constraints for investors seeking to exit their positions. While the company has begun selling shares in its $10.0 billion public offering, the $11.9 million raised to date is a very small fraction of the authorized amount. This update reinforces the liquidity challenges highlighted by the recent unsolicited tender offer from Cox Capital and Saba Capital, which the board recommended rejecting. The ongoing inability of shareholders to redeem their investments fully is a major concern for a non-traded REIT.
