The offering— as most Security Token Offerings (STOs)— will be private. It will include a North Dakota water pipeline project, a student-housing portfolio, a commercial office building in downtown Miami, and a Florida multi-family housing project.

“Inveniam Capital is demonstrating that asset tokenization is about creating liquidity premiums and Vertalo is excited to help bring these offerings to a market hungry for well-structured deals that happen to be blockchain-enabled.”

Several other instances involving real estate tokenization have already taken place. They include a luxury condo development in Manhattan, a luxury student residence in South Carolina, and a luxury resort in Aspen Colorado.
