PIMCO Real Estate Team

Does anyone know culture/comp/reputation of PIMCO's real estate team (BRAVO funds)? They seem to have raised a ton of money ($1.5B? not sure if they're on/behind schedule for the targeted $3-4B). They're hiring for a few positions right now so curious for anyone's thoughts. Almost every post here is on the FI side.

They have/had a small team and they make some long term, opportunistic land plays that have opportunity to concentrate capital and scale in key markets. They seemed like cool folks.

Have compassion as well as ambition and you’ll go far in life. I am interested in digital immortality. Check out my blog at digitalimmortality.com

I spoke with a handful of their REPE guys in Newport Beach around this time three years ago. The people I spoke with had either come from other REPE shops or from actual operators and seemed like they knew their shit with real estate... not just farmed from fixed income or something. Their platform policy was to fly under the radar, hence the lack of publicity. At the time they said they were well positioned within the firm due to management's push toward alternative strategies. I don't know if that's still the case. They also had some people in NYC. Their NB team supposedly started the day at market hours like the rest of the firm.

 

seeing if anyone has any additional info, especially regarding comp/culture/hours of their NYC team

apparently as of july, bravo iii has closed on 3.1b of commitments, so it's shaping up to be a sizable fund
