Uavend Property and Leisure, a UK-based property development and investment company, has commissioned fintech company ScalingFunds to tokenise one of the firm’s real estate investment vehicles, according to a press release shared with Coin Rivet.
The total value of the property to be tokenised is £30 million. The luxury residential building, based in the Southwest of England, is set to open before the end of 2019.
ScalingFunds’ proprietary technology allows shares of the property to be registered on the blockchain. The process, known as tokenisation, entitles the shareholder of this digital asset to the economic benefits of the underlying real estate asset. These include:
- Dividends from rent
- Interest
- Personal distributions
- The ability to trade digital shares on the secondary market
