The Fund will invest as a single Limited Partner in a US private equity real estate investment program implemented by the Investment Manager, Bridge Investment Group LLC, a specialist real estate manager with in excess of US$10 billion AUM and over 1,000 employees nationwide. The Bridge Office Program which will acquire value-add commercial office buildings in high growth markets within the United States.

Investment in value-add commercial office properties has been an integral part of the investments within the highly successful ‘ROC’ fund series, which began in 2009. ROC is an acronym for ”Real estate Opportunity Capital”, and reflects the private equity real estate fund thesis of having committed capital available to take advantage of opportunities in the market.

The Bridge Office Program is seeking to raise a total of US$750 million in total equity commitments from Limited Partners, with a target rate of total return on invested capital of a 14-16% net IRR (USD denominated). If the Investment Manager is successful in achieving its capital raising target, we would anticipate that between US$1.5 billion and US$2 billion in value-add office properties will be acquired within pre-defined target markets over the program’s 3-year Investment Period, which began in July 2017. As at the date of the PDS, the program has already acquired 19 value-add commercial office assets at a total cost of US$507.65 million. The Investment Manager has estimated that this price represents a 51% discount to replacement cost.
