Exhibit (a)(2)(B)

Dear Financial Advisor,

Affiliates of MacKenzie Capital Management commenced a mini tender offer to purchase up to 225,000 shares of the outstanding common stock (the “Common Stock”), par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”), of Lightstone Value Plus Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) at a price of $4.50 per Share in cash (the “MacKenzie Offer”).

In response to the MacKenzie Offer, the Company is commencing a tender offer (the “Company Offer”) for up to 225,000 shares at a price of $5.00 per share, expiring on July 24, 2020. The Company Offer is at a higher price than the MacKenzie Offer.

The Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) has evaluated the terms of both offers and notes that, although the Company Offer is at a higher price than the MacKenzie Offer, the price in both offers is significantly less than the estimated per-share net asset value of the Company’s common stock (“Estimated Per-Share NAV”) of $11.82 per share as of September 30, 2019.⁽¹⁾

Although the Company Offer is superior to the MacKenzie Offer, the Board unanimously recommends that stockholders NOT tender their shares pursuant to the Company Offer or the lower MacKenzie Offer

For important information regarding the methodologies, assumptions and limitations used to determine the Estimated Per-Share NAV, see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the SEC on March 30, 2020 (the “2020 Annual Report”). The Board notes the Estimated Per-Share NAV is subject to the methodologies, assumptions and limitations described in the 2020 Annual Report. The Estimated Per-Share NAV was calculated as of a specific date, and the value of Shares will fluctuate over time. In addition, the outbreak of COVID-19, together with the resulting restrictions on travel and quarantines imposed, has had a negative impact on the economy and business activity globally. The extent to which our business may be affected by COVID-19 will largely depend on future developments with respect to the continued spread and treatment of the virus, which we cannot accurately predict. These risks are not priced into our September 30, 2019 Estimated Value-Per Share NAV.
