Up to now, it has been funded internally but is now looking to raise third-party capital with a view to growing the size of the fund to £500m. Regus Property Partners targets operating businesses and freehold vacant properties, mainly in the South East, with the aim of refurbishing them and managing them as serviced offices under IWG’s brands.
