How to Tokenize Real Estate: Step-by-Step
From SPV structure to investor onboarding and secondary trading readiness — a practical, jurisdiction-aware roadmap to launch real-estate tokenization.
What you’ll achieve
Outcomes
- Clean SPV structure owning the property with clear investor rights.
- Compliant offering pack: OM/Prospectus, Token Terms, Subscription Agreement.
- Audited smart contracts (ERC-3643 / ERC-1400) with transfer restrictions.
- Ready KYC/KYB onboarding, payment rails, and investor registry.
- Secondary trading pathway (ATS/MTF or licensed venue), plus ongoing compliance.
Assumptions
- Single-asset SPV (one property); can adapt to pool structures.
- Security-token setup in most jurisdictions (not utility).
- Custody via regulated provider (e.g., BitGo/Fireblocks/Taurus).
- Investors: professional/qualified; retail only if rules allow.
