Washington, D.C. 20549 Re: PIMCO Flexible Real Estate Income Fund (the “Fund”) File Nos. 333-262575 and 811-23779 Dear Ms. Dubey: You previously communicated the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) staff’s (the “Staff”) additional comments on the Fund’s registration statement under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as filed on December 22, 2023. The below responses will be reflected, to the extent applicable, in Post-Effective Amendment No. 4 (“PEA 4”) to the Fund’s registration statement. The Staff’s comments, along with the Fund’s responses, are set forth below. Undefined capitalized terms used herein have the same meaning as in the Fund’s December 22, 2023 registration statement. All references to “Fund” refer only to the Fund, unless noted otherwise. Summary of Fund Expenses – Annual Fund Operating Expenses (page 16) Comment 1: Please delete Footnote 5 of the fee table and the line item associated with it and move Footnote 5 and to a later section in the prospectus as the expense limitation agreement does not extend for at least one year from the effective date. Response: The Fund will amend Footnote 5 and other references to the Expense Limitation Agreement’s expiration date to reflect that the Expense Limitation Agreement will not expire until May 2, 2025. Comment 2: In Footnote 5 of the fee table, please briefly describe who can terminate the Expense Limitation Agreement and under what circumstances (Instruction 3(e) to Item 3 of Form N-1A). Response: The Fund respectfully notes that Footnote 5 already includes the requested disclosure. Footnote 5 states that the Expense Limitation Agreement may be terminated by the Fund, without payment of any penalty, upon ninety (90) days’ prior written notice to PIMCO at its principal place of business. * * * * * We believe that the foregoing will be responsive to the Staff’s comments. Please call the undersigned at (202) 261-3386 if you wish to discuss this correspondence further. Sincerely, /s/ William J. Bielefeld William J.
