Regus operates more than 3,000 flexible workspace centers worldwide. PILLAR incorporates Regus as the anchor tenant within its leasing strategy to activate properties and establish a foundation for broader tenant demand.
70%
Seventy percent of corporate real estate executives expect to expand office footprints or increase office utilization as return-to-office policies and hybrid work models continue to evolve.
83%
Regus is used by 83% of Fortune 500 companies, reflecting broad enterprise demand for flexible workspace. PILLAR leverages this model to support leasing momentum and attract additional long-term tenants.
“Smart money does not follow sentiment. It follows value. Office real estate is priced for permanent vacancy. We believe the market is wrong, and we are buying accordingly.”
The strategy
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.
PILLAR targets well-located office properties priced 50–80% below replacement cost, where refinancing pressure has created compelling acquisition opportunities.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Investments through self-directed IRAs and certain retirement accounts may be possible depending on your account custodian and structure.
