Business and Organization | 1. Business and Organization Business Behringer Harvard Opportunity REIT II, Inc., which changed its name to Lightstone Value Plus Real Estate Investment Trust V, Inc. effective July 20, 2017 (which may 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 federal income tax purposes. We were formed primarily to acquire and operate commercial real estate and real estate-related assets on an opportunistic and value-add basis. In particular, we have 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. We have acquired a wide variety of commercial properties, including office, industrial, retail, hospitality, and multifamily. We have purchased existing, income-producing properties, and newly-constructed properties. We have also invested in other real estate-related investments such as mortgage and mezzanine loans. We intend to hold the various real properties in which we have invested until such time as our board of directors determines that a sale or other disposition appears to be advantageous to achieve our investment objectives or until it appears that the objectives will not be met. As of March 31, 2018, we had eight real estate investments, seven of which were consolidated (one wholly owned property and six properties consolidated through investments in joint ventures) and one real estate investment which we account for under the equity method. Substantially all of our business is conducted through Behringer Harvard Opportunity OP II LP, a limited partnership organized in Delaware (the “Operating Partnership”). As of March 31, 2018, our wholly-owned subsidiary, BHO II, Inc., a Delaware corporation, owned a 0.1 99.9 Our business has been managed by an external advisor since the commencement of our initial public offering, and we have no employees. From January 4, 2008 through February 10, 2017, an affiliate of Stratera Services, LLC, formerly known as “Behringer Harvard Holdings, LLC” (“Behringer”), acted as our external advisor (the “Behringer Advisor”). On February 10, 2017, we terminated our engagement of the Behringer Advisor and engaged affiliates of the Lightstone Group (“Lightstone”), LSG-BH II Advisor LLC and LSG Development Advisor LLC (collectively, the “Advisor”), to provide advisory services to us. The external advisor is responsible for managing our day-to-day affairs and for services related to the management of our assets. Organization In connection with our initial capitalization, we issued 22.5 1.0 24.5 1.0 Our common stock is not currently listed on a national securities exchange. The timing of a liquidity event for our stockholders will depend upon then prevailing market conditions. We previously targeted the commencement of a liquidity event within six years after the termination of our initial public offering, which occurred on July 3, 2011. On June 29, 2017, our board of directors elected to extend the targeted timeline an additional six years until June 30, 2023 based on their assessment of our investment objectives and liquidity options for our stockholders. However, we can provide no assurances as to the actual timing of the commencement of a liquidity event for our stockholders or the ultimate liquidation of the Company. We will seek stockholder approval prior to liquidating our entire portfolio. |
