Business

 

Lightstone Value Plus REIT V, Inc. (“Lightstone REIT V,” which may also be referred to as the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), was organized as a Maryland corporation on January 9, 2007 and has elected to be taxed, and currently qualifies, as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for United States (“U.S”). federal income tax purposes.

 

The Company was formed primarily to acquire and operate commercial real estate and real estate-related assets on an opportunistic and value-add basis. In particular, the Company has focused generally on acquiring commercial properties with significant possibilities for capital appreciation, such as those requiring development, redevelopment, or repositioning, those located in markets and submarkets with high growth potential, and those available from sellers who are distressed or face time-sensitive deadlines. Since its inception, the Company has acquired a wide variety of commercial properties, including office, industrial, retail, hospitality, multifamily residential and student housing. The Company has purchased existing, income-producing properties, and newly-constructed properties. The Company has also invested in other real estate-related investments such as mortgage and mezzanine loans. The Company has made its investments in or in respect of real estate assets located in the U.S. and other countries based on its view of existing market conditions.

 

Substantially all of the Company’s business is conducted through Lightstone REIT V OP LP, a limited partnership organized in Delaware (the “Operating Partnership”). As of September 30, 2025, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, BHO II, Inc., a Delaware corporation, owned a 0.1% partnership interest in the Operating Partnership as its sole general partner. As of September 30, 2025, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, BHO Business Trust II, a Maryland business trust, was the sole limited partner of the Operating Partnership and owned the remaining 99.9% interest in the Operating Partnership.

 

All of the Company’s current investments are located in the U.S. The Company currently intends to hold its various real properties until such time as its board of directors (the “Board of Directors”) determines that a sale or other disposition appears to be advantageous to achieve the Company’s investment objectives or until it appears that the objectives will not be met. The Company currently has one operating segment. As of September 30, 2025, the Company wholly owned and consolidated eight multifamily residential properties containing an aggregate of 2,480 apartment units.

 

The Company’s business is externally managed by LSG Development Advisor LLC (the “Advisor”), an affiliate of the Lightstone Group LLC (“Lightstone”), which provides advisory services to us. Lightstone is majority owned by David Lichtenstein, a member of the Board of Directors. Pursuant to the terms of an advisory agreement and subject to the oversight of the Board of Directors, the Advisor is responsible for managing the Company’s day-to-day affairs and for services related to the management of its assets.

 

The Company has no employees. The Company is dependent on the Advisor and its affiliates for performing a full range of services that are essential to it, including asset management, property management, property management oversight (for those of its properties which are managed by an unrelated third party property manager) and acquisition, disposition and financing activities, and other general administrative responsibilities; such as tax, accounting, legal, information technology and investor relations services. If the Advisor and its affiliates are unable to provide these services to the Company, it would be required to provide the services itself or obtain the services from other parties.

 

Organization

 

In connection with the Company’s initial capitalization, the Company issued 22,500 shares of its common stock (“Common Shares”) and 1,000 shares of its convertible stock to the Company’s former advisor on January 19, 2007. The 1,000 shares of convertible stock (“Convertible Shares”) were transferred to an affiliate of Lightstone on February 10, 2017 and remain outstanding. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had 18.5 million Common Shares outstanding.

The Company’s Common Shares are not currently listed on a national securities exchange. The timing of a liquidity event for the Company’s stockholders will depend upon then prevailing market conditions and the Board of Directors’ assessment of the Company’s investment objectives and liquidity options for the Company’s stockholders. On August 7, 2025, the Board of Directors extended the targeted timeline for the Company to commence a liquidity event until June 30, 2033 based on their assessment of the Company’s investment objectives and liquidity options for the Company’s stockholders. The Company can provide no assurances as to the actual timing of the commencement of an actual liquidity event for its stockholders or the ultimate liquidation of the Company. Furthermore, the Company will seek stockholder approval prior to liquidating its entire portfolio.
