Soreide Law Group is investigating potential claims from investors who purchased NB FLATS DST through securities brokers or financial advisors. This investment has recently drawn attention due to troubling developments that may have left investors with significant losses. It is important for investors to understand what NB FLATS DST is, why concerns have arisen, and what rights they may have if sales practice violations occurred. The following sections will provide a clear overview of these issues.
What is NB FLATS DST?
NB FLATS DST, also known as Alpine Flats, was structured as a Delaware Statutory Trust. DSTs are commonly used to pool investor funds into real estate projects, often for those completing a 1031 exchange. By design, investors hold beneficial interests in the trust, which manages the underlying property. Although marketed as an opportunity to participate in large-scale real estate, these investments are complex and generally intended for investors with high net worth and experience in alternative investments.
Concerns About NB FLATS DST
It has been alleged that investors in NB FLATS DST are facing serious challenges. Reports suggest that in or around April 2024, the trust may have entered Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, and by approximately February 2025 the case was reportedly converted to a Chapter 7 liquidation. If accurate, this could mean that investors may now be dealing with significant financial losses. Beyond these reported bankruptcy proceedings, some observers have claimed that NB FLATS DST highlights broader risks that may be associated with DSTs in general. These products are often described as illiquid, which allegedly makes it very difficult for investors to exit before maturity. They are also said to carry higher risks and costs than some more traditional investments, which could leave investors vulnerable to downturns and potential mismanagement. According to some accounts, many investors may not have fully understood these issues at the time of purchase.
Sales Practice Violations
A number of investors may have been sold NB FLATS DST under questionable circumstances. Brokers and advisors are required to recommend only those investments that are consistent with a client’s financial profile, objectives, and tolerance for risk. However, common violations can include recommending DSTs to unsuitable investors, failing to disclose liquidity concerns or bankruptcy risks, and overstating the safety or income potential of the product. In some cases, sales may have been driven by high commissions rather than investor interests. When these practices occur, investors may be entitled to pursue recovery through FINRA arbitration or other legal avenues.
