Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC announced on October 23, 2026 that a securities class action has been filed against Phoenix American Hospitality, LLC, American Hospitality Properties REIT, Inc., American Hospitality Properties REIT II, Inc. And William Lee Nelson. The suit seeks damages for alleged violations of federal securities laws on behalf of investors who acquired securities in the two REITs between March 1, 2022 and July 31, 2024, according to GlobeNewswire.

Bronstein's Claims and the Lead Plaintiff Deadline

The complaint alleges that throughout the class period the defendants made false or misleading statements and failed to disclose that Phoenix's public statements about its business and operations were materially false or misleading, and that subsequent SEC filings and disclosures revealed the truth about those operations. Investors have until November 16, 2026 to ask the court to appoint them as lead plaintiff, and the firm said that sharing in any recovery does not require serving in that role. Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman said it represents investors on a contingency fee basis, asking the court to reimburse out-of-pocket expenses and attorneys' fees, usually a percentage of the total recovery, only if the firm is successful.

"Our practice centers on restoring investor capital and ensuring corporate accountability, which serves to uphold the essential integrity of the marketplace," said Peretz Bronstein, Founding Partner of Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC.
