$1 Billion in U.S. Real Estate to Be Tokenized in Major Blocksquare Partnership

In a groundbreaking move for real estate tokenization, Blocksquare has partnered with Florida-based Vera Capital to digitize over $1 billion worth of commercial properties across the United States. 

Moreover, the initiative aims to redefine how investors engage with real estate, facilitating access to fractional ownership through the use of blockchain technology.

The collaboration will involve tokenizing a diverse portfolio of assets across seven U.S. states. Vera Capital, the investment arm of Vera Group, is contributing properties from its existing holdings to this innovative initiative.

Notably, initial assets include a three-story office complex in Fort Lauderdale and a retail plaza in Dania Beach, both in South Florida.  

A New Era for Real Estate Investors

 With the upcoming marketplace, expected to launch in the coming weeks, investors around the globe will have the opportunity to purchase digital shares of these U.S.-based properties.

However, each token will represent a share in a physical asset, providing easier access to high-value real estate markets that have traditionally been out of reach for smaller investors.

Nick Polyushkin, CEO of Vera Group, highlighted that they already manage the assets in question, having purchased and overseen them internally.

Additionally, with over $100 million currently invested in various development projects, Vera is strategically positioned to scale this initiative quickly. Future offerings may encompass residential complexes each valued between $70 million and $100 million.

Blocksquare Expansion on Ethereum

Blocksquare, built on Ethereum, has successfully tokenized more than 150 properties across 28 countries. The company recently implemented a compliant legal framework within the European Union to facilitate the tokenization of economic rights via notarized agreements.

Furthermore, the Ethereum network is now evaluating how this structure can be adapted to the U.S. regulatory environment.

Denis Petrovic, Blocksquare’s CEO, noted that their Luxembourg-based legal model provides additional flexibility for platforms like Vera’s. While it is possible to issue tokens without this legal framework, its incorporation ensures an added layer of legal security for marketplace participants.

As institutional interest in asset tokenization continues to grow, this partnership highlights a broader trend toward digital transformation in the real estate sector. By integrating blockchain with physical assets, Blocksquare and Vera Capital are presenting a practical model for the future of property investment.
