We’re excited to announce a strategic partnership with Peakside Capital Advisors AG that will merge institutional real estate investment management with the benefits of blockchain technology.

The partnership will see Peakside Capital utilize our proprietary software and legal framework for evidencing and databasing a real estate fund on the blockchain, a process more commonly known as tokenization. Tokenization allows for capital to be raised from a global investor pool, and for investors from around the world to access investments such as those offered by Peakside Capital, cheaper and more efficiently than what’s possible via current investment structures.

Our full smart contract ecosystem — the technology at the heart of the partnership — was successfully audited by blockchain leaders ConsenSys Diligence at the end of September. Peakside Capital is set to be the first institutional real estate fund management firm to employ such technology.

“Blockchain-based solutions, such as those provided by Brickblock, will transform the real estate sector as they increase the ease of access for different classes of investors and transparency in global real estate markets,” said Stefan Aumann, founding partner of Peakside Capital.

“This strategic partnership marks a turning point in real estate investment management, as it will be the one of the first democratized investment products. The idea is to provide attractive, professionally managed investment products that fully comply with any applicable regulation to a broader investor base using state-of-the art blockchain technology.”

Presentation at Expo Real

The partnership will be presented at Expo Real in Munich, Germany, on Tuesday, October 9th at 3:00 p.m. (Hall A1, Conference Room A12). Expo Real is one of the world’s largest trade fairs for property and investment, and attracts some of the industry’s most reputable professionals and firms.
