Case Title
The Fractionalized Building: Tokenizing a Real Estate Development
1. Scenario
- Client Archetype: Medium-sized real estate developer.
- Sector: Real Estate / FinTech.
- Operation Vector: Spain (Financial Innovation).
2. The Strategic Challenge
A real estate developer wanted to raise financing for a new premium residential development without turning to traditional banks or diluting control of the company. It was looking for a formula that would allow qualified investors to participate in the project’s economic rights on a fractional basis and with full legal certainty under European regulations.
3. The META Channel Solution Architecture
TokenLab was activated to design the complete legal and technological architecture of the investment vehicle. An issue of security tokens representing participation rights over the project’s cash flows was structured under the MiFID II framework, defining the issuing vehicle, the regulatory documentation and the technical development of the token.
4. Ecosystem Orchestration: Layers in Action
Layer 5 (Substantive Legal), led by META Channel, defined the classification of the asset and designed the issue structure with the rights attached to the token. Layer 4 (Technological) developed the smart contract and the blockchain infrastructure with full traceability, while Layer 2 (Reference Partners) was brought in to coordinate with authorized intermediaries on distribution in accordance with the applicable regulations.
