federally registered investment adviser formed in 2014. MRECS is under common control with MREG Fund
Management LLC (“MFM”), a relying adviser of MRECS formed in 2014, and Claros REIT Management LP

Mack Partners LLC (which is controlled by Stephen Mack and Robert Feidelson).
This Brochure primarily concerns MRECS and MFM, to which we refer in this Brochure individually as an
“Adviser” and collectively as the “Advisers.” Terms such as “we,” “our” and “us” generally refer to the
advisory business as a whole and therefore such terms are intended to address the Advisers and CRM
collectively. As used herein, any references to “or” shall mean “and/or” and any references to “including”
shall mean “including but not limited to.”
Pursuant to a services agreement, certain personnel of MRECS allocate a portion of their business time
and attention to CRM. We recommend that you refer to the Form ADV Part 2A brochure for CRM (the
“CRM Brochure”) for additional information about the advisory services provided by CRM.
Our Advisory Services
The Advisers provide a range of investment advisory activities related to investments in real estate and
real estate-related securities. Generally, MRECS provides advice with respect to a broad strategy of
investing in commercial real estate credit through loan originations, preferred equity investments,
recapitalizations, loan acquisitions, public real estate securities, and other potential investments, in each
case as MRECS deems appropriate depending on market conditions and client investment guidelines or
other parameters. MFM provides advice primarily with respect to controlling equity investments in real
estate, including land, development projects, and operating assets, in which Mack Real Estate Group, LLC
(“MREG” or the “Firm”) or a commonly controlled affiliate typically serves as the general partner or in a
similar capacity. Real estate investments are generally made through partnerships, joint ventures, and
other similar structures with third parties. However, each Adviser may provide advice with respect to
other types of investments.
At present, the Advisers provide advice to certain private funds (including related co-invest vehicles) and,
to a limited extent, separately managed accounts (collectively, the “Clients”).
1 The Advisers are affiliated
with entities that serve as the general partners and/or managing
members to the Clients (each, a “General
Partner” and collectively, the “General Partners”), and the Clients are typically controlled by their
respective General Partners. Each General Partner is subject to the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as
amended (the “Advisers Act”), pursuant to the Advisers’ registration in accordance with SEC guidance. In
1 “Client” means any private fund or similar pooled investment vehicle for which the Advisers provide investment
advice and/or make investment recommendations on a discretionary or non-discretionary basis. The investors
and other persons who invest in the Clients are generally referred to herein as “investors” or “limited partners.”
Unless otherwise expressly stated herein, the term “Client” does not refer to “investors” or “limited partners.”

the future, we intend to advise other funds and one or more of the Advisers may provide services to other
commingled investment vehicles, separately managed accounts, or other investment vehicles on bespoke
investment strategies.
The information provided above about our investment advisory services is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the applicable Governing Documents (as defined below).
Customization of Our Advisory Services
Our advisory services are generally tailored to meet the specific investment objectives and requirements
of each Client as set forth in the governing documents establishing our relationship with such Client. These
documents may include an investment advisory agreement, a management agreement, a private
placement memorandum, and/or other formation documents, as amended from time to time
(collectively, the “Governing Documents”). The Governing Documents of each Client typically define a
strategy and often impose certain investment restrictions such as the type and geographic location of
investments, size, maximum leverage, and the percentage of the Client’s assets that can be invested in a
single asset. Any such restrictions apply to the relevant Client as a whole. We do not provide investment
advice to underlying investors in our Clients based on their individual needs. However, at times we enter
into side letter agreements with certain investors, without the approval of any other investor, which
expand or otherwise modify such investors’ rights or obligations concerning a particular Client subject to
the Client’s Governing Documents and applicable law. As an example, certain side letters provide the
relevant investors with insight into our investment process that is not provided to other investors.
Wrap Fee Program Participation
We do not provide services under any wrap fee program.
