Lightstone Value Plus REIT V Losses?

Soreide Law Group is investigating potential investor claims involving sales practice violations by securities brokers and financial advisors related to Lightstone Value Plus REIT V. Lightstone Value Plus REIT V is a publicly registered, non-traded real estate investment trust that was marketed to retail investors, often as an income-oriented alternative investment. Recent disclosures regarding liquidity restrictions, tender offers, and valuation uncertainty present adverse information that investors should carefully consider. The discussion below summarizes key facts and concerns surrounding this investment.

Overview

Lightstone Value Plus REIT V was sponsored by affiliates of The Lightstone Group and structured as a non-traded REIT, meaning its shares are not listed on a national securities exchange. The REIT raised capital from investors to acquire and manage a portfolio of real estate assets, primarily commercial properties. Because the shares do not trade publicly, investors generally rely on limited liquidity mechanisms, such as share repurchase programs, tender offers, or a future liquidity event, to access their invested capital. Advisors or brokers commonly sold the investment to individuals seeking regular distributions and portfolio diversification.

Concerns About Lightstone Value Plus REIT V

A primary concern for investors involves liquidity. Over the years, the REIT has suspended or restricted its share repurchase program, limiting investors’ ability to redeem shares. In late 2025, the company approved a self-tender offer to repurchase a finite number of shares—approximately 2.2 million—at a stated price of $14.08 per share. This price represented a discount to the REIT’s most recently reported net asset value of $16.56 per share, based on a valuation date of September 30, 2025. At the same time, the company suspended its regular share repurchase program and did not honor pending redemption requests. The company also reduced or halted distributions during certain periods, which heightened investor concerns about cash flow reliability and overall investment performance.

Potential Sales Practice Violations

Non-traded REITs like Lightstone Value Plus REIT V can carry heightened risks, including illiquidity, valuation subjectivity, and significant upfront fees or commissions. Potential sales practice violations may include unsuitable recommendations to retirees or conservative investors, failure to clearly explain liquidity limitations, misstatements regarding income stability, or inadequate disclosure of conflicts related to high commissions. When these issues occur, investors may have legal rights, including the ability to pursue claims through FINRA arbitration against the recommending advisor or brokerage firm.
