Invest Alongside a Manager with a 40-Year Track Record

Private real estate has long been a cornerstone of institutional portfolios, but individual investors have often had limited access to the asset class - or have had to invest through pooled funds and intermediaries.

Lightstone DIRECT offers a different approach. Accredited investors can invest directly in select real estate opportunities alongside Lightstone, a vertically integrated owner/operator with more than four decades of experience and a $12 billion real estate portfolio.

We invest 20% or more of the equity in every offering, aligning our interests with yours from day one. Our in-house team oversees acquisitions, asset management, and investment execution, with property operations managed by Lightstone and, where appropriate, experienced third-party operators.

No blind funds. No intermediaries. Just direct partnership.

Accredited Investors only. $100k minimum investment.

The trick is repackaging it into something an employer outside the shop floor will pay you real money for. If you’re wondering how to pivot from retail to a new career in Canada, these four continuing studies programs turn what you already know into a credential that pays.

🌐 A New Summer Ritual Is Born: Tennis & Champagne

I like tennis. But I wouldn’t have called myself a fan–I didn’t follow the sport or know the nuances of the matches. So, it was a pleasantly unexpected surprise that attending the National Bank Open became a highlight of the summer.

Seeing a match wasn’t on my dance card, but I was lucky to be invited by Moët & Chandon to see the women’s single quarter-finals. The invite came with a lovely care package that included a mini Moët Brut Impérial, a fun visor, and a fantastic pair of Givenchy sunglasses through which to view the match. (I’m not sure who was in charge of selecting sunglasses for the dozen-ish invitees, but we all had different styles, and they were all a perfect match. That’s a skill!)
