PROVIDENCE, R.I., April 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- LRT Company, a land acquisition and real estate investment firm that specializes in land entitlements and ground lease financing, and sponsors Section 1031 exchange investment offerings, announced today it has fully subscribed its $20.55 million Delaware statutory trust (DST) offering, LRT Coventry RI DST.
The all-cash, Regulation D private placement offering consists of a 50-year, triple net ground lease on 14 acres of undeveloped land in Coventry, a suburb of Providence, Rhode Island. As part of the ground lease agreement, Tiffany Laurel Reserve, a senior housing campus with 204 independent living, assisted living and memory care units, will be designed, developed and constructed on the land. The senior housing campus is expected to total 157,000 square feet of space and include 56 structured parking garage spaces.
"We designed this project around a Coventry senior housing market that has been underserved for years," said Lawrence LaBonte, founder and chief executive officer of LRT Company. "The setting gives residents a quieter, nature-rich environment with parks, lakes and wooded areas, while remaining easily accessible via the New London Turnpike. This is also the first development where LRT Company has incorporated low-income housing units, because lower-income seniors will be hit the hardest by the coming shortage and it was important for us to be a factor in addressing that."
He added, "The ground lease structure of this investment offering gives investors exposure to potential rent escalations and future capital transaction proceeds, which is very much in line with how LRT thinks about placing capital in markets where supply is constrained and long-term demand is clear. Seeing this offering fully subscribed tells us investors recognize that same opportunity."
Coventry has a population of nearly 36,000 and is the largest town in Rhode Island by land size at approximately 60 square miles. The area is in close proximity to major highways, including Interstate 95 and state routes 3, 117, and 102. Additionally, freight transportation is supported by railroads and nearby shipping facilities at the Port of Providence, further integrating Coventry into regional trade networks.
