The strategy

Acquire. Activate. Appreciate.

PILLAR acquires well-located office assets at significant discounts to replacement cost, introduces an established flexible workspace operator as the anchor tenant (i.e. Regus), and repositions each property to accelerate leasing, diversify occupancy, and strengthen long-term operating performance.

  1. Acquisition

    Identify office assets below replacement cost.

    PILLAR targets well-located office properties priced 50–80% below replacement cost, where refinancing pressure has created compelling acquisition opportunities.

  2. Stabilization

    Position an anchor tenant from day one.

    An established flexible workspace operator serves as the building's anchor tenant early in the repositioning process. This establishes initial occupancy, activates the property, and creates leasing momentum for additional tenants.

  3. Value creation

    Drive yield and long-term appreciation.

    As occupancy grows and the property stabilizes, PILLAR seeks to improve operating performance while positioning the asset for long-term appreciation through disciplined execution rather than waiting for market recovery.

Investor questions

What investors ask us first

What is PILLAR Real Estate Fund?

PILLAR Real Estate Fund is a private real estate investment fund focused on acquiring distressed office assets at below-replacement-cost pricing. The fund targets properties in high-demand markets where office demand is recovering and partners with Regus as an anchor tenant to create immediate cash flow.

What is distressed office real estate investing?

Distressed office real estate refers to commercial office properties trading at significant discounts to their intrinsic value, typically due to high vacancy, debt maturity challenges, or owner financial distress, rather than fundamental problems with the asset or its location. PILLAR targets properties priced at 50-80% below replacement cost where demand fundamentals are recovering.

What is PILLAR's fund structure and term?

PILLAR is structured as a closed-end private equity real estate fund with a five-year investment period and a ten-year term, with extension provisions. The fund is organized as a Delaware LP, giving the investment team a defined window to acquire, reposition, and exit assets in a disciplined manner.

How does the Regus anchor tenant model work?

Regus, operated by IWG plc, is structured as an anchor tenant in PILLAR's acquired office properties. This creates predictable rental income from day one of acquisition, not after a speculative lease-up period. With 3,000+ centers globally and 83% of Fortune 500 companies as clients, Regus provides enterprise-grade demand that is contracted, not speculative.

Who can invest in PILLAR and what is the minimum?

PILLAR is open to accredited investors as defined by the SEC, generally individuals with a net worth exceeding $1 million (excluding primary residence) or annual income exceeding $200,000 ($300,000 jointly). The minimum investment is $250,000. Family offices, multi-family offices, and institutional investors are also welcome to inquire.

What is the fund's target size and target return?

PILLAR is targeting $50M in total fund size. The fund targets returns expressed as Net IRR and Net MOIC - [exact target figures to be confirmed with Mo before publishing], generated through a combination of rental income from Regus anchor tenancy and asset appreciation over the hold period. These are targets, not guarantees. Actual returns will depend on market conditions, asset performance, and other factors disclosed in the fund documents.

What are the risks of investing in PILLAR?

Like all private real estate investments, PILLAR carries risks including market and property-level risk, illiquidity, tenant credit risk, interest rate risk, and general economic conditions. The fund's contrarian thesis may not materialize on the expected timeline. Investors should review the full risk disclosures in the offering documents and consult their own financial and legal advisors before investing.

How do I request the Investment Brief?

Complete the brief request form on this page. You will receive the PILLAR Investment Brief within 24 hours. If you meet the accredited investor criteria and your interest aligns with the fund, we will follow up to schedule a private investor briefing call with the team.

What is the investment thesis behind PILLAR?

PILLAR's thesis is contrarian: office real estate is currently priced at 50-80% below replacement cost in many markets due to pandemic-era vacancy concerns. However, return-to-office trends are recovering - currently at approximately 70% of pre-pandemic levels and growing. PILLAR acquires assets at distressed prices, stabilizes them through the Regus partnership, and positions investors to benefit from both current yield and long-term asset appreciation as the market normalizes.

What markets does PILLAR target?

PILLAR focuses on high-growth US markets with strong return-to-office trends and improving flexible workspace demand - primarily Texas (Austin, Dallas, Houston), Florida (Miami, Tampa, Orlando), and the broader Southeast US. These markets are characterized by corporate relocation activity, population growth, and office demand recovery ahead of traditional gateway cities.

What is the $1.8 trillion CRE maturity wall and how does it affect PILLAR?

Approximately $1.8 trillion in commercial real estate loans are maturing between 2024 and 2026. Many of these loans - particularly office - were originated when values were higher and cannot be refinanced at current rates or valuations. This is creating forced dispositions and distressed pricing across the office sector. PILLAR is positioned to acquire these assets at below-replacement-cost pricing precisely when motivated sellers need to transact.

What does "below replacement cost" mean for investors?

Replacement cost is what it would cost to build an equivalent office building today - including land, construction, and soft costs. When PILLAR acquires a property at 50-80% below replacement cost, it means the fund is buying a completed, operational asset for significantly less than its construction value. This creates a structural margin of safety: even if values do not recover, the fund has not overpaid relative to intrinsic value. If values do recover toward replacement cost, the appreciation potential is substantial.

Who manages PILLAR Real Estate Fund?

PILLAR is led by Christian Mack, Chairman of Terra Rossa Family Office, with over 25 years of experience in capital formation and over $1.2 billion in capital raised across his career. The team includes experienced real estate operators and asset managers with backgrounds in commercial acquisitions, flexible workspace operations, and fund management.

Does PILLAR accept family office or institutional capital?

Yes. PILLAR welcomes family offices, multi-family offices, RIAs, and institutional investors alongside individual accredited investors. If you represent a family office or institution with interest in private real estate alternatives, please request the Investment Brief and indicate your interest in the form.

Can I invest in PILLAR through a self-directed IRA or retirement account?

Investments through self-directed IRAs and certain retirement accounts may be possible depending on your account custodian and structure. This is a complex area with specific rules around UBTI (Unrelated Business Taxable Income) and other considerations. PILLAR recommends consulting with your tax advisor and account custodian before pursuing this route.
