Our Investments

The Lightstone Group actively pursues new acquisitions throughout the country.

Acquisition Criteria

The Lightstone Group is consistently targeting value-add investment opportunities in growing markets with high barriers to entry. In particular, we are looking for properties that provide us with a competitive advantage that may not be available or obvious to other investors, as well as for properties in distressed situations, preferably those with distressed owners or troubled capital structures. While we prefer portfolio acquisitions, we will also consider large single-property deals. Although our focus is on deals in the $15 million to $25 million range, we are willing to entertain side-by-side partnerships with investors with similar investment philosophies in order to do larger deals.
