Tokenization of Commercial Real Estate: Offering and Trading Property Investments on the Blockchain

Property Investments
The adoption of cryptocurrencies and the emergence of blockchain platforms have made real estate tokenization a potential capital-raising option. With tokenization, ownership interests in real estate assets can be more immediately bought and sold, but tokenization requires a thorough understanding of the technology, the offering process, and the regulatory issues involved.

Investors typically invest in real estate through an LLC or limited partnership that owns an underlying property. With tokenization, LLC or LP interests are in the form of tokens that can be traded or used as collateral in smart contracts. The issuer must determine the number and type of tokens and select an exchange platform for trading.

The issuer must also decide whether a security is being offered and registration is required. Offering documents may include operating agreements, subscription agreements, and a private placement memorandum. Offerings must also comply with KYC requirements and have appropriate protection of user data.

Tokens should have built-in compliance features such as restrictions on transfers and secondary trading. Issuers will also need to determine how distributable cash will be paid (perhaps using stablecoins or other digital currency).

Listen as our authoritative panel discusses these and other matters associated with commercial real estate tokenization.

Structuring Complex Easement Agreements in Commercial Real Estate Deals

Reciprocal easement agreements (REAs) are necessary documents to address access rights for adjacent development, shared utility infrastructure, the construction, maintenance, and repair of shared components, and the allocation of costs for such shared components. In recent years, REAs and commercial leases also have presented unique challenges to the repurposing of shopping centers and addressing shared spaces affected by emerging technology, such as parking areas. Our program will provide a framework for the drafting of reciprocal easements. The panel will provide information on relevant provisions to include in reciprocal easements depending upon the context of the project, including allocating development rights and encroachments into air space related to the development of the property. Listen as our authoritative panel of practitioners discusses best practices for drafting and negotiating complex easement agreements. The panel will discuss reciprocal easements in commercial developments such as mixed-used and retail projects, as well as issues involved in restrictions on airspace.

5 Stages of Real Estate Business Growth

Residential Real Estate Council

Many real estate agents get into the sales from a previous job where they were an employee. As a result they often fail to recognize the needs and requirements of running a business and continue to exhibit the behaviors of an employee. In this webinar we will discuss the importance of recognizing a real estate career as a business and not a job. We will then look at the different stages of business growth, what may stop a real estate business from growing, and what bridges must be built to get to the next stage.
