Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Business and Structure	1. Business and Structure Lightstone Value Plus REIT III, Inc. (“Lightstone REIT III”) is a Maryland corporation, formed on October 5, 2012, which elected to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for United States (the “U.S.”) federal income tax purposes beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2015. Lightstone REIT III is structured as an umbrella partnership REIT, or UPREIT, and substantially all of its current and future business will be conducted through Lightstone Value Plus REIT III LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”). As of September 30, 2024, Lightstone REIT III had a 99% Lightstone REIT III and the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “Company” and the use of “we,” “our,” “us” or similar pronouns in these consolidated financial statements refers to Lightstone REIT III, its Operating Partnership or the Company as required by the context in which such pronoun is used. Through the Operating Partnership, the Company owns, operates and develops commercial properties and makes real estate-related investments. Since its inception, the Company has primarily acquired, developed and operated commercial hospitality properties, principally consisting of limited-service hotels and one full-service hotel all located in the U.S. Although the Company has historically acquired hotels, it has and may continue to purchase other types of real estate. Assets other than hotels may include, without limitation, office buildings, shopping centers, business and industrial parks, manufacturing facilities, single-tenant properties, multifamily properties, student housing properties, warehouses and distribution facilities and medical/life sciences office buildings. The Company’s real estate investments are held by it alone or jointly with other parties. In addition, the Company may invest up to 20% of its net assets in collateralized debt obligations, commercial mortgage-backed securities and mortgage and mezzanine loans secured, directly or indirectly, by the same types of properties which it may acquire directly. Although most of its investments are these types, the Company may invest in whatever types of real estate or real estate-related investments that it believes are in its best interests. The Company evaluates all of its real estate investments as one operating segment. The Company currently intends to hold its investments until such time as it determines that a sale or other disposition appears to be advantageous to achieve its investment objectives or until it appears that the objectives will not be met. As of September 30, 2024, the Company (i) wholly owned and consolidated the operating results and financial condition of eight limited service hotels containing a total of 872 rooms, (ii) held an unconsolidated 50% membership interest in LVP LIC Hotel JV LLC (the “Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture”), which owns one limited service hotel, and (iii) held an unconsolidated 25% membership interest in Bedford Avenue Holdings LLC (the “Williamsburg Moxy Hotel Joint Venture”), which owns one full service hotel. The Company accounts for its unconsolidated membership interests in the Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture and the Williamsburg Moxy Hotel Joint Venture under the equity method of accounting. The Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture owns a 183-room, limited-service hotel (the “Hilton Garden Inn – Long Island City”) located in the Long Island City neighborhood in the Queens borough of New York City. The Williamsburg Moxy Hotel Joint Venture developed, constructed and owns a 216-room branded hotel (the “Williamsburg Moxy Hotel”) located in the Williamsburg neighborhood in the Brooklyn borough of New York City, which opened on March 7, 2023. Both the Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture and the Williamsburg Moxy Hotel Joint Venture are between the Company and related parties. The Company’s advisor is Lightstone Value Plus REIT III LLC (the “Advisor”), which is majority owned by David Lichtenstein. On July 16, 2014, the Advisor contributed $ 2 200 20,000 200 10.00 222,222 9.00 242 50,000 12.1 The Company has no employees. The Company is dependent on the Advisor and certain affiliates of the Sponsor for performing a full range of services that are essential to it, including asset management, property management (excluding its hospitality properties, which are each 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. The Company’s Common Shares are not currently listed on a national securities exchange. The Company may seek to list its Common Shares for trading on a national securities exchange only if a majority of its independent directors believe listing would be in the best interest of its stockholders. The Company does not intend to list its Common Shares at this time. The Company does not anticipate that there would be any active market for its Common Shares until they are listed for trading. Noncontrolling Interests – Partners of the Operating Partnership Limited Partner On July 16, 2014, the Advisor contributed $2 to the Operating Partnership in exchange for 200 limited partner units in the Operating Partnership. The Advisor has the right to convert limited partner units into cash or, at the Company’s option, an equal number of its Common Shares. Special Limited Partner In connection with the Company’s Offering, the Special Limited Partner purchased from the Operating Partnership an aggregate of 242 Subordinated Participation Interests at a cost of $50,000 per unit, or aggregate consideration of $12.1 million. As the indirect majority owner of the Special Limited Partner, Mr. Lichtenstein is the beneficial owner of a 99% interest in such Subordinated Participation Interests and will thus receive an indirect benefit from any distributions made in respect thereof. These Subordinated Participation Interests may entitle the Special Limited Partner to a portion of any regular distributions that the Company makes to its stockholders, but only after its stockholders have received a stated preferred return. However, from inception through September 30, 2024, there have been no distributions declared on the Subordinated Participation Interests. Any future distributions on the Subordinated Participation Interests will always be subordinated until stockholders receive a stated preferred return. The Subordinated Participation Interests may also entitle the Special Limited Partner to a portion of any liquidating distributions made by the Operating Partnership. The value of such distributions will depend upon the net proceeds available for distribution upon the Company’s liquidation and, therefore, cannot be determined at the present time. Liquidating distributions to the Special Limited Partner will always be subordinated until stockholders receive a distribution equal to their initial investment plus a stated preferred return. Related Parties The Company’s Advisor and certain affiliates of the Sponsor, including the Special Limited Partner, are related parties of the Company as well as the other public REITs also sponsored and/or advised by these entities. Pursuant to the terms of various agreements, these entities are entitled to compensation and reimbursement for services and costs incurred for services related to the investment, development, management and disposition of the Company’s assets. The compensation is generally based on the cost of acquired properties/investments and the annual revenue earned from such properties/investments, and other such fees and expense reimbursements as outlined in each of the respective agreements.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lightstone REIT III and the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries (over which Lightstone REIT III exercises financial and operating control). As of September 30, 2024, Lightstone REIT III had a 99% The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and related notes as contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”). The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) and accruals necessary in the judgment of management for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Lightstone Value Plus REIT III, Inc. and its Subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during a reporting period. The most significant assumptions and estimates relate to the valuation of real estate and depreciable lives. Application of these assumptions requires the exercise of judgment as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 included herein has been derived from the consolidated balance sheet included in the Company’s 2023 Form 10-K. The unaudited consolidated statements of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year or any other period. Income Taxes The Company elected to be taxed and qualify as a REIT commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2015. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its net taxable income that it distributes currently to its stockholders. To maintain its REIT qualification under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, the Company must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it annually distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of its REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income, as calculated in accordance with GAAP), determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gain. If the Company fails to remain qualified for taxation as a REIT in any subsequent year and does not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, its income for that year will be taxed at regular corporate rates, and it may be precluded from qualifying for treatment as a REIT for the four-year period following its failure to qualify as a REIT. Such an event could materially adversely affect the Company’s net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. Additionally, even if the Company continues to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it may still be subject to some U.S. federal, state and local taxes on its income and property and to U.S. federal income taxes and excise taxes on its undistributed income, if any. To maintain its qualification as a REIT, the Company engages in certain activities through a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”), including when it acquires a hotel it usually establishes a new TRS and enters into an operating lease agreement for the hotel. As such, the Company is subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes and franchise taxes from these activities. The Company’s income tax benefits and expense are included in other (expense)/income, net on its consolidated statements of operations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded income tax expense of $ 0.1 0.2 0.1 1 As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had no Revenues The following table represents the total revenues from hotel operations on a disaggregated basis: Schedule of revenues from hotel operations For the For the Revenues 2024 2023 2024 2023 Room $ 8,150 $ 8,094 $ 22,666 $ 21,950 Food, beverage and other 234 222 707 698 Total revenues $ 8,384 $ 8,316 $ 23,373 $ 22,648 New Accounting Pronouncements In November 2023, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant expenses. The amendments will require entities to disclose significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included within segment profit and loss, as well as the title and position of the CODM. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is evaluating the guidance and the impact it may have on the consolidated financial statements. In December 2023, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which includes amendments that further enhance income tax disclosures, primarily through standardization and disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is evaluating the guidance and the impact it may have on the consolidated financial statements. The Company has reviewed and determined that other recently issued accounting pronouncements will not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows, or do not apply to its current operations. Concentration of Risk As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had cash deposited in certain financial institutions in excess of U.S. federally insured levels. The Company regularly monitors the financial stability of these financial institutions and believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk in cash and cash equivalents. Current Environment The Company’s operating results and financial condition are substantially impacted by the overall health of local, U.S. national and global economies and may be influenced by market and other challenges. Additionally, its business and financial performance may be adversely affected by current and future economic and other conditions; including, but not limited to, availability or terms of financings, financial markets volatility and uncertainty as a result of recent banking failures, political upheaval or uncertainty, natural and man-made disasters, terrorism and acts of war, unfavorable changes in laws and regulations, outbreaks of contagious diseases, cybercrime, loss of key relationships, inflation and recession. The Company’s overall performance depends in part on worldwide economic and geopolitical conditions and their impacts on consumer behavior. Worsening economic conditions, increases in costs due to inflation, higher interest rates, labor and supply chain challenges and other changes in economic conditions could adversely affect the Company’s future results from operations and its financial condition.

The Company’s unrealized loss on investments in corporate bonds was primarily caused by recent rising interest rates. The Company does not intend to sell the investment and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investment before recovery of its amortized cost basis. The Company may sell certain of its investments in marketable debt securities prior to their stated maturities for strategic purposes, in anticipation of credit deterioration, or for duration management. Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value: ● Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. ● Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. ● Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The Company’s mutual funds were classified as Level 1 assets and the Company’s preferred equity securities, corporate bonds and interest rate cap contract were classified as Level 2 assets. There were no transfers between the level classifications during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The fair values of the Company’s investments in mutual funds are measured using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and its preferred equity securities and corporate bonds are measured using readily available quoted prices for these securities; however, the markets for these securities are not active. The fair value of the Company’s interest rate cap contract is measured using other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of our investments in marketable debt securities with stated contractual maturity dates, accounted for as available-for-sale securities and classified by the contractual maturity date of the securities: Schedule of available-for-sale securities As of Due in 1 year $ - Due in 1 year through 5 years - Due in 5 year through 10 years - Due after 10 years 596 Total $ 596 The Company did not have any other significant financial assets or liabilities, which would require revised valuations that are recognized at fair value.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation	Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lightstone REIT III and the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries (over which Lightstone REIT III exercises financial and operating control). As of September 30, 2024, Lightstone REIT III had a 99% The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and related notes as contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”). The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) and accruals necessary in the judgment of management for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Lightstone Value Plus REIT III, Inc. and its Subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during a reporting period. The most significant assumptions and estimates relate to the valuation of real estate and depreciable lives. Application of these assumptions requires the exercise of judgment as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 included herein has been derived from the consolidated balance sheet included in the Company’s 2023 Form 10-K. The unaudited consolidated statements of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year or any other period.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company elected to be taxed and qualify as a REIT commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2015. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its net taxable income that it distributes currently to its stockholders. To maintain its REIT qualification under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, the Company must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it annually distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of its REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income, as calculated in accordance with GAAP), determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gain. If the Company fails to remain qualified for taxation as a REIT in any subsequent year and does not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, its income for that year will be taxed at regular corporate rates, and it may be precluded from qualifying for treatment as a REIT for the four-year period following its failure to qualify as a REIT. Such an event could materially adversely affect the Company’s net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. Additionally, even if the Company continues to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it may still be subject to some U.S. federal, state and local taxes on its income and property and to U.S. federal income taxes and excise taxes on its undistributed income, if any. To maintain its qualification as a REIT, the Company engages in certain activities through a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”), including when it acquires a hotel it usually establishes a new TRS and enters into an operating lease agreement for the hotel. As such, the Company is subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes and franchise taxes from these activities. The Company’s income tax benefits and expense are included in other (expense)/income, net on its consolidated statements of operations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded income tax expense of $ 0.1 0.2 0.1 1 As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had no

New Accounting Pronouncements	New Accounting Pronouncements In November 2023, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant expenses. The amendments will require entities to disclose significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included within segment profit and loss, as well as the title and position of the CODM. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is evaluating the guidance and the impact it may have on the consolidated financial statements. In December 2023, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which includes amendments that further enhance income tax disclosures, primarily through standardization and disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is evaluating the guidance and the impact it may have on the consolidated financial statements. The Company has reviewed and determined that other recently issued accounting pronouncements will not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows, or do not apply to its current operations.
Concentration of Risk	Concentration of Risk As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had cash deposited in certain financial institutions in excess of U.S. federally insured levels. The Company regularly monitors the financial stability of these financial institutions and believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk in cash and cash equivalents.
Current Environment	Current Environment The Company’s operating results and financial condition are substantially impacted by the overall health of local, U.S. national and global economies and may be influenced by market and other challenges. Additionally, its business and financial performance may be adversely affected by current and future economic and other conditions; including, but not limited to, availability or terms of financings, financial markets volatility and uncertainty as a result of recent banking failures, political upheaval or uncertainty, natural and man-made disasters, terrorism and acts of war, unfavorable changes in laws and regulations, outbreaks of contagious diseases, cybercrime, loss of key relationships, inflation and recession. The Company’s overall performance depends in part on worldwide economic and geopolitical conditions and their impacts on consumer behavior. Worsening economic conditions, increases in costs due to inflation, higher interest rates, labor and supply chain challenges and other changes in economic conditions could adversely affect the Company’s future results from operations and its financial condition.
