Up to $19,736,404 in Common Shares Fundrise Real Estate Investment Trust, LLC is a Delaware limited liability company formed to originate, invest in and manage a diversified portfolio of commercial real estate investments. Through May 27, 2019 our ongoing offering has raised approximately $116.4 million in capital. We have used, and continue to expect to use substantially all of the net proceeds from our offerings to originate, acquire and structure commercial real estate loans (including senior mortgage loans, subordinated mortgage loans (also referred to as B-Notes), mezzanine loans, and participations in such loans) and investments in commercial real estate. We may also invest in commercial real estate-related debt securities (including commercial mortgage-backed securities, or CMBS, collateralized debt obligations, or CDOs, and REIT senior unsecured debt) and other real estate-related assets. We are externally managed by Fundrise Advisors, LLC, or our Manager, which is an investment adviser registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, and a wholly-owned subsidiary of our sponsor, Rise Companies Corp., the parent company of Fundrise, LLC, our affiliate. Registration with the SEC does not imply a certain level of skill or training. Fundrise, LLC owns and operates an online investment platform www.fundrise.com (the “Fundrise Platform”) that allows investors to become equity or debt holders in real estate opportunities that may have been historically difficult to access for some investors. Through the use of the Fundrise Platform, investors can browse and screen real estate investments, view details of an investment and sign legal documents online. We elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2015. We are continuing to offer up to $ 19,736,404 in our common shares, which represents the value of the shares available to be offered as of May 27, 2019 out of the rolling 12-month maximum offering amount of $50 million in our common shares. The minimum investment in our common shares for initial purchases is 100 shares, or $1,000 based on the current $10.00 per share price. However, in certain instances, we may revise the minimum purchase requirements in the future or elect to waive the minimum purchase requirement, such as for individuals who participate in different plans established by our Manager through which they can invest in our common shares. We expect to offer common shares in this offering until we raise the maximum amount being offered, unless terminated by our Manager at an earlier time. The per share purchase price for our common shares is currently $10.00 per share. The per share purchase price in this offering will be adjusted at the beginning of every fiscal quarter (or as soon as commercially reasonable thereafter), and will equal the greater of (i) $10.00 per share or (ii) the sum of our net asset value, or NAV, divided by the number of our common shares outstanding as of the end of the prior fiscal quarter (“NAV per share”). Investors will pay the most recent publicly announced purchase price as of the date of their subscription. Although we do not intend to list our common shares for trading on a stock exchange or other trading market, we have adopted a redemption plan designed to provide our shareholders with limited liquidity on an ongoing basis for their investment in our shares. We intend to continue to distribute our shares primarily through the Fundrise Platform.
