Owning a piece of Paris has long been the dream of discerning investors and lifestyle enthusiasts worldwide. Yet traditional property ownership in the City of Light comes with significant barriers—astronomical purchase prices, complex foreign property laws, ongoing maintenance headaches, and the reality that most owners only use their properties for a fraction of the year.

Enter fractional ownership: a sophisticated solution that's revolutionizing how we think about real estate investment and lifestyle ownership in prestigious markets like Paris.

What Makes Fractional Ownership Different?

Fractional ownership offers the perfect balance—authentic ownership without the burdens. With Phileas, it means you own a slice of an exquisite apartment without bearing the full cost or responsibilities of traditional ownership. Imagine having your own authentic pied-à-terre on Rue du Bac in Paris, perfectly maintained and ready for your arrival, but at a fraction of the cost of buying outright.

You enjoy all the pleasures of owning an exquisite Parisian home whilst sharing the expenses with like-minded individuals who, like you, use the property at different times throughout the year. It's a smart, sophisticated approach to owning exactly what you'll use whilst building equity in one of the world's most prestigious real estate markets.

Understanding Fractional Real Estate

Fractional real estate is a shared ownership model where multiple investors own a percentage of a property rather than purchasing it outright. This approach allows investors to benefit from rental income and potential property appreciation without the high capital requirements of full ownership. It is similar to owning shares in a company, where each investor holds a stake proportional to their investment.

This investment model lowers the capital barrier, making real estate accessible to a larger audience. Investors can hold their shares for long-term growth or sell them for potential profit when the value increases.

How Phileas Makes Fractional Ownership Seamless

At Phileas, we've reimagined fractional real estate to create an unparalleled ownership experience. Here's how our model works:

Property Selection – Our team of Parisian connoisseurs identifies and acquires exceptional properties in Paris's most desirable neighborhoods, ensuring each home offers authentic luxury and prime location.

Investor Participation – Through our platform, individuals can purchase one to five shares in carefully curated properties, with each share providing five weeks of annual usage.

Secure Legal Structure – This is where Phileas truly excels. We provide an optimal U.S.-based legal structure that makes ownership effortless, transparent, and secure—all governed by familiar U.S. law. The Paris property title is held by a French S.C.I owned by a U.S. LLC, and you hold a share in that LLC. This means you can easily sell, gift, or inherit your share like any U.S. asset—quickly and efficiently, without complex foreign procedures.

Professional Management – Our comprehensive property management includes concierge services, housekeeping, maintenance, utilities, and even personal shopping at Bon Marché and Galerie Lafayette. Everything is handled through our seamless digital platform.

The Phileas Society Experience – Beyond mere accommodation, our exclusive membership program transforms you from visitor to insider, offering curated experiences in gastronomy, fashion, art, and entertainment that unlock the very heart of Parisian culture.

The Investment Advantage

Fractional ownership through Phileas isn't just about lifestyle—it's a sophisticated investment strategy. You benefit from potential property appreciation in one of the world's most stable and prestigious real estate markets, while our rotating draft system ensures fair access to peak seasons. The liquid investment structure means you maintain flexibility while building equity.

Unlike traditional vacation homes that sit empty for months, or timeshares that depreciate over time, Phileas fractional ownership combines the personal enjoyment of a Parisian home with the financial benefits of real estate investment.

Your Path to Parisian Ownership

The beauty of fractional ownership lies in its accessibility and sophistication. You're not just buying weeks in a property—you're becoming part of an exclusive community of like-minded individuals who appreciate the finer aspects of Parisian living.

With Phileas, you gain authentic ownership of an exquisite home in Paris, complete with insider access to the city's cultural treasures, all while building equity in one of the world's most coveted real estate markets. It's ownership reimagined for the modern, discerning investor.
