Law office of Brodsky & Smith, LLC announces that it is investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of Trade Street Residential, Inc. ("Trade Street” or "the Company") (Nasdaq: TSRE) for possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law in connection with the sale of the Company to Independence Realty Trust, Inc. (“IRT”).

The transaction values Trade Street at only approximately $7.32 per share. The investigation concerns whether the Board of Trade Street breached their fiduciary duties to shareholders and whether IRT is underpaying for Trade Street.
