The Lightstone Approach
The Lightstone Group seeks to acquire properties that will generate immediate cash flow while offering long-term capital appreciation. Lightstone does not develop new properties and will not wait years for cash flow to begin.
Hands-on Management Wins Hands Down
The trust has engaged an affiliate of the Lightstone Group to manage the assets it acquires. The Lightstone Group believes in a hands-on approach to management of its owned properties. Lightstone Group directly manages its properties choosing not to farm out this function to local third-parties. Property managers are employees of the Lightstone Group and have direct, day -to-day responsibility for all operating issues and capital improvement projects. The rationale is simple: while you can't control revenues, you can control expenses - and nobody does it better than employees with direct bottom-line responsibility.
