Real-World Real Estate Tokenization Success
See how we've helped clients transform their real estate assets and unlock new opportunities through blockchain technology.
Problem: High Minimums & Limited Liquidity
The client's fund was successful but faced challenges with high minimum investment thresholds ($250k+), which limited their investor pool. Furthermore, LPs were locked in for 7-10 years, creating significant liquidity issues.
Key Challenges:
- Inability to attract smaller, accredited investors.
- Lengthy and paper-intensive subscription process.
- No viable secondary market for LP interests.
- High administrative costs for managing hundreds of LPs.
Our Solution: A Compliant Tokenized Feeder Fund
We developed a comprehensive platform to tokenize interests in a new feeder fund that invested directly into their main CRE portfolio. The solution was structured under SEC Regulation D.
- Built an investor portal with automated KYC/AML and accreditation checks.
- Developed security token smart contracts on Polygon to minimize gas fees.
- Created an admin dashboard for managing the cap table and automating quarterly distributions.
- Partnered with a registered ATS to provide a compliant secondary trading venue for the tokens.
Problem: Inefficient Co-ownership & Idle Capital
Traditional fractional ownership models were legally cumbersome, expensive to set up, and difficult to manage. The client wanted a more efficient way to sell equity in their properties and automate the distribution of rental income.
Key Challenges:
- High legal costs for each fractional ownership agreement.
- Difficulty in finding and vetting co-owners.
- Manual and error-prone process of distributing monthly rental profits.
- Lack of a simple way for owners to sell their shares.
Our Solution: A Property-Specific Tokenization Platform
We created a platform where each luxury property was held in a separate LLC, and ownership was represented by a unique set of security tokens. The platform automated the entire lifecycle of ownership.
- Developed a marketplace showcasing properties with detailed financials and legal docs.
- Integrated with booking platforms (like Airbnb/VRBO) via API to track rental income.
- Created a dividend smart contract that automatically distributed net rental income to token holders' wallets monthly.
- Implemented an internal bulletin board for owners to post buy/sell offers for their tokens.
Problem: Lack of Access to Capital
Traditional bank financing was insufficient, and large-scale impact investors were hard to attract for a smaller, community-focused project. The non-profit needed a way to pool smaller investments from a large number of local supporters.
Key Challenges:
- High barriers for small, non-accredited investors to participate.
- Difficulty in managing hundreds of small investments.
- Need for extreme transparency in the use of funds.
- Providing a mechanism for investors to see both financial and social returns.
Our Solution: A Reg CF Token Offering Platform
We built a platform compliant with SEC Regulation Crowdfunding (Reg CF), allowing the non-profit to raise up to $5M from both accredited and non-accredited investors.
- Created a simple, mobile-friendly investment portal for easy participation.
- Used a public blockchain (Stellar) for low-cost, transparent transactions.
- Developed a project dashboard showing fund allocation, construction progress, and social impact metrics (e.g., families housed).
- Implemented a smart contract to distribute a small percentage of rental profits back to the community investors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your questions, answered. Here are some common inquiries about real estate tokenization.
Yes, when structured correctly. Tokenized real estate is typically treated as a security. Therefore, the offering must comply with the securities laws of the jurisdictions where investors are located. This often involves structuring the offering under exemptions like Regulation D, S, or A+ in the U.S. Our process involves working alongside legal counsel to ensure a fully compliant framework.
The primary benefits are: 1) **Increased Liquidity:** It transforms an illiquid asset into tradable digital tokens. 2) **Fractional Ownership:** It allows for the division of a high-value asset into smaller, more accessible investment amounts. 3) **Global Access:** It opens the investment opportunity to a global pool of investors. 4) **Efficiency:** It automates processes like dividend distribution and cap table management, reducing administrative costs.
The choice of blockchain depends on the project's specific needs. We are blockchain-agnostic and have expertise across multiple platforms. For many security token offerings, public blockchains with robust smart contract capabilities and strong network effects like Ethereum, or Layer-2 solutions like Polygon, are excellent choices due to their security and developer ecosystems. For other use cases, platforms like Stellar or private blockchains might be more suitable.
The initial value of a token is directly tied to the appraised value of the underlying real estate asset. For example, if a $10 million property is tokenized into 10 million tokens, each token would have an initial value of $1. Over time, the token's value can fluctuate based on new property appraisals, rental income performance, and market demand on secondary exchanges.
Rental income is distributed automatically via smart contracts. After collecting rent and deducting operational expenses, the net profit is sent to a specific smart contract. This contract then automatically distributes the funds (typically as a stablecoin like USDC) to the digital wallets of all token holders, proportional to the number of tokens they own. This process is transparent, fast, and efficient.
The timeline can vary significantly based on the project's complexity, particularly the legal and regulatory structuring phase. A typical project can be broken down as follows: Legal & Structuring (1-3 months), Platform Development & Smart Contracts (3-4 months), and Marketing & Launch (1-2 months). An end-to-end project often takes between 6 to 9 months to go live.
