Real Estate Investment Fraud

Are You a Starwood REIT Investor?

Published on: December 11, 2025 | by Shepherd Smith Edwards & Kantas, LLP

As This Non-Traded Real Estate Investment Trust Limits Redemptions Again, Concerns Over Losses Grow

If you are an investor who suffered losses in Starwood REIT (SREIT), which was an investment sold to you by a financial advisor, contact Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas Starwood REIT Recovery Attorneys (investorlawyers.com). This non-traded real estate investment trust (non-traded REIT) has been under scrutiny for some time, and concerns of investor losses have only grown. In October 2025, SREIT once again limited investor redemptions. That is because requests went beyond its .05% monthly cap. Because of this, investors only received around 4% of what they wanted on a pro rata basis.

Sponsored by Starwood Capital Group, Starwood REIT concentrates on income-producing residential and commercial real estate. At one point, SREIT was one of the largest interval non-traded real estate investment trusts and held $9B in assets. However, rising interest rates went on to impact residential property valuations. This caused an increase in investor redemption requests that Starwood REIT has struggled to fulfill. In 2024, this non-traded REIT purportedly redeemed only 30% – 55% of redemption requests made by investors. This included, at one point, fulfilling less than $500M of withdrawal requests that were at $1.3B.

Florida Investor Sues J Alden Associates Over RAD Diversified Losses. Our Non-Traded REIT Fraud Attorneys Are Representing This Claimant In Her Six-Figure Lawsuit

Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas REIT Fraud Attorneys (investorlawyers.com) are representing an investor who is seeking up to $500K in damages from broker-dealer J Alden Associates. This claimant is an older novice investor and a soon-to-be retiree with health issues. We believe that her J Alden broker Nathan Daniel Goad unsuitably recommended too risky products, including RAD Diversified and Key Capital while overconcentrating her portfolio. Goad is also a Florida investment adviser with the Alden Investment Group.

In her FINRA lawsuit, our client is alleging unsuitable investment recommendations, misrepresentations and omissions, failure to supervise, excessive concentration, negligence, gross negligence, breach of contract, and more. She contends that she made it clear about not wanting to take on any undue risk and needed safety. Meanwhile, her J Alden broker purportedly told her the accounts would be structured prudently to satisfy her investment goals. Instead, her money ended up in risky, unproven, illiquid investments that tied up the majority of her assets. These were investments that paid high commissions to this financial advisor.
