Team : Fractional real estate is rapidly gaining attention as a transformative trend in property investment. While global pioneers like RealT have paved the way, platforms such as Bricks.co have been instrumental in making the concept approachable and well-known in France. Traditionally, property investments required large capital commitments—often upwards of €100,000 or €200,000—into a single rental property. However, the focus is now shifting toward building diversified portfolios by owning fractional shares across multiple properties. Similar to crowdfunding, the idea centers on spreading investments, but with fractional ownership, investors gain direct property shares rather than merely contributing to a funding initiative….

Team Bricks, established in early 2021, initially provided access to real estate investments through royalty-based contracts. This approach continued until late 2022, but by mid-2023, the company shifted to a bond contract model. This change followed a cautionary notice from the AMF (France’s Financial Markets Authority), which highlighted issues in the sector. Although the notice did not directly name Bricks, it was apparent that Bricks, as a leader in this new royalty-based real estate model, was a key focus. In this updated structure, Bricks now acts as a financial intermediary rather than holding ownership of projects. Its role is primarily…

Team : Coreestate utilizes blockchain technology to make real estate investments more accessible through tokenization. Their platform allows individuals to invest in rental properties by purchasing digital tokens, which represent fractional ownership in specific real estate projects. These tokens grant investors a share of rental income and potential value appreciation, removing the traditional barriers of high capital requirements. The company’s approach includes acquiring and renovating residential properties, financed through the issuance of security tokens. For example, their GREV55 project in Denmark transformed an older building into modern apartments, funded by token sales. Investors benefit from passive rental income and enhanced…
Crowdstreet CEO = John Imbriglia COO = Shaun Mulreed CFO = Genni Combes Founded in 2014 by Tore Steen and Darren Powderly, CrowdStreet emerged in response to the heavy reliance on exchange-traded equities, which became evident during the 2008 financial downturn.

Since its inception, CrowdStreet has grown into one of the leading crowdfunding platforms for real estate investments. The platform serves as a marketplace where investors can explore…

Team : Fundimmo has established itself as a key player in real estate crowdfunding in France since its launch in 2015. With over €320 million in projects funded and a minimum investment threshold of €1,000, it holds a significant position in the market. However, I do not place Fundimmo at the top of my list for several reasons. Primarily, its heavy focus on real estate development—a sector currently facing challenges—raises concerns. This lack of diversification has led to frequent delays. Additionally, the returns offered are below the market average, which is another drawback in my view. Market observers have also…

The platform offers growth-oriented real estate investment trusts (REITs), which provide consistent distributions through both debt and equity investments.

When assessing investment opportunities, RealtyMogul evaluates factors such as the…
Team : RedSwan.io was founded with a bold vision: to revolutionize commercial real estate investment by leveraging the power of blockchain technology. Traditional real estate investment has long been restricted by high capital requirements, lack of liquidity, and inefficient processes. RedSwan.io sought to eliminate these barriers and create a more accessible, transparent, and efficient way for investors to engage in commercial real estate. The real estate market, despite being one of the largest asset classes in the world, has historically been illiquid and inaccessible to many investors. High entry costs, complex legal frameworks, and lengthy transaction processes made it difficult…
Teams : TANTIEM is on a mission to make real estate investment more accessible. While real estate remains the preferred investment for many in France, offering strong returns with low volatility, it is increasingly out of reach for a growing number of people. Rising barriers include generational inequality, with first-time buyers struggling to secure loans, and social inequality, where initial investment requirements often exceed €20,000. Even for those who can still invest, the process is complex—finding the right property, securing financing, managing tenants—all for returns that can be disappointing. TANTIEM aims to change that by offering a new, simplified approach…
