The White Law Group continues to investigate potential claims involving broker dealers who may have unsuitably recommended New York City REIT (formerly known as American Realty Capital New York City REIT) to investors.

NYC’s shares closed at $5.94 per share yesterday, according to Market Watch.

New York City REIT,  was launched in 2014 as a publicly registered non-traded real estate investment trust, sponsored by AR Global. The REIT invests in properties located in the five boroughs of New York City, with a focus on Manhattan.

New York City REIT is one of several REITs sponsored by AR Global, formerly known as American Realty Capital, which was involved in a major accounting scandal in 2014. American Realty Capital Corp., now known as Vereit inc. settled a class action lawsuit for $738.5  million after its chief financial officer and the former chief accounting officer were reportedly convicted of allegations of fraudulently inflating financials.

In addition to Vereit’s hefty settlement, AR Global paid $286 Million to settle the charges.

The White Law Group has represented numerous investors who suffered financial losses investing in AR Global REITs. For more information on the firm’s investigations, please see the following:
