Lightstone Value Plus Reit Ii Closes On Loan Restucturing For Fairfield Inn East Rutherford Meadowlands

New York, NY, (January 16, 2013)

“Lightstone Value Plus Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. (LVPR II) announced today it has closed on a loan restructuring for the 141-room Marriott Fairfield Inn East Rutherford Meadowlands in East Rutherford, NJ.
LVPR II purchased the $18.7 million first mortgage for $7.9 million in June 2010. On Dec. 31, 2012, LVPR II completed a structured workout with the borrower group to gain control of the title and operations of the property.
We believe this deal is representative of The Lightstone Group’s ability to identify attractive investment opportunities which are well-positioned and have the ability to grow,” said David Lichtenstein, Chairman and CEO of LVPR II. “We believe the location of this hotel, coupled with our planned $4.7 million renovation, are key aspects to its success.

LVPR II is a non-traded REIT sponsored by The Lightstone Group, which is also headed by Lichtenstein.
The five-story, 141-room hotel is located near the Lincoln Tunnel and offers immediate access to Midtown Manhattan, MetLife Stadium, and local office parks. The planned $4.7 million renovation to the property would include all guest rooms, including soft goods and case goods, a re-design and upgrade to the lobby and breakfast areas, and upgrades to the exterior finishes and signage. The work is scheduled to take place and be completed during 2013.
