The Website is available worldwide and may be operated from various locations both within and outside the United States of America (“USA”). Access to and use of the Website, including functionality and features available on the Website and any services discussed, referenced, provided or offered through or on the Website, if any (the “Features”), however, may be inappropriate, prohibited or restricted in countries outside the USA.

  1. Securities Law and Offerings

Investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) are subject to substantial risks. You should consult your tax and financial advisors before using any information on this Website or making an investment in any product described on the Website. The risks involved in investing in NorthStar Healthcare include, without limitation, the following:

  • We may not achieve our investment objectives; the prior performance of our sponsor may not predict our future results.
  • No public market currently exists for our shares. If you are able to sell your shares, you would likely have to sell them at a substantial loss.
  • You do not have the opportunity to evaluate the investments we will make with the proceeds of this offering before we make them, which makes your investment more speculative.
  • Our equity investments will also be subject to the risks typically associated with real estate, including limited supply of targeted investments increasing our purchase price, reduced occupancy rates and decreases in some or all of the value over time.
  • The collateral securing our debt investments may decrease in value or lose all value over time, which may lead to a loss of some or all of principal. Any unsecured debt may involve a heightened level of risk.
  • We have board authority to use leverage in connection with our investments, which increases the risk of loss associated with our investments.
  • Our borrowers and operators may not be able to make debt service or lease payments to us due to changes in economic conditions, regulatory requirements and other factors.
  • There is no guarantee of distributions. Distributions have been paid from sources other than cash flow from operations, which may reduce an investor’s overall return. There is no guarantee of any return and you may lose a part or all of your investment.
  • Diversification does not eliminate risk and does not assure better performance.
  • We may change our targeted investments or investment policies without stockholder consent.
  • Our organizational documents permit us to pay distributions from any source, including offering proceeds, borrowings or sales of assets. We have not established a limit on the amount of proceeds we may use to fund distributions. We have paid and may continue to pay distributions from sources other than our cash flow from operations, and consequently, we will have less cash available for investments and your overall return may be reduced.
  • The offering price was determined by our board of directors based on a valuation of our assets and liabilities and may not be indicative of the price at which the shares would trade on a securities exchange or be sold. The actual value of our shares may be substantially less than our offering price.
  • We are not required to liquidate our assets or list our shares for trading by a specified date or at all.
  • If we fail to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, our cash available for distribution and the value of our shares could materially decrease.
  • An investment in NorthStar Healthcare is not a direct investment in commercial real estate. An investment in NorthStar Healthcare is subject to fees and expenses that do not apply to such direct investments.
  • The other risks set forth in our prospectus and our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
