Answers to what prospective investors ask most. For anything else, the Capital Formation team is a call away.
Lightstone DIRECT is a private investment platform that provides accredited investors with access to institutional-quality real estate offerings. The platform is designed to simplify the process of evaluating, committing to, and managing private real estate investments through a single, secure digital environment.
The minimum investment starts at $100,000, though this may vary depending on the specific deal. All minimums will be clearly stated in the offering documents, and investors will have the opportunity to review these before committing capital.
Lightstone DIRECT differs from typical crowdfunding or private syndication platforms by eliminating middlemen and blind pools. It allows accredited investors to co-invest directly alongside Lightstone, a $12 billion real estate owner/operator. Lightstone invests a minimum of 20% of the equity in every single investment opportunity on the Lightstone DIRECT platform.
Once you have created and verified your account, all live offerings are accessible from your investor dashboard. Each offering page includes a comprehensive set of materials to support your due diligence, including an investment summary, key financial projections, deal terms, and relevant legal documentation. You may review these materials at your own pace prior to making any investment decision. If you require additional information beyond what is provided on the offering page, you may submit an inquiry directly through the platform and a member of the Lightstone DIRECT team will respond accordingly.
Lightstone DIRECT focuses on institutional-quality real estate investments across multifamily and industrial asset classes, including both value-add strategies and stabilized, income-generating properties. We primarily offer deal-by-deal investment opportunities rather than a blind fund model, giving investors the ability to self-select their desired investments within sectors where Lightstone has a strong history of outperforming projections. Lightstone DIRECT shares the same investment committee as Lightstone and is vertically integrated, with dedicated asset and property management teams in-house. There is no middleman or third-party syndication in Lightstone DIRECT deals - investments are structured as a joint venture.
No, investments through Lightstone DIRECT are not guaranteed. Like all private real estate investments, they carry risks, including market fluctuations, property performance, and economic conditions. While we conduct thorough due diligence and actively manage assets to help protect investor capital, there is no guarantee of returns or principal preservation.
