What even is Blocksquare?!

What are they trying to do, and why should I care?

Blocksquare is working to allow the average Joe the opportunity to invest in commercial real estate. If you don’t have hundreds of thousands (or even millions) of dollars lying around, chances are you will not be able to invest in commercial real estate.

As it stands now, most commercial real estate is owned by big companies with even bigger bankrolls. The everyday person is not able to break into the market for many reasons; financial barriers, lack of knowledge about the industry, or access to an easy-to-use platform through which they can invest.

Blocksquare recognizes this challenge and aims to reinvent the commercial real estate market by allowing multiple parties to invest in commercial real estate.

How? Think of it like this: let’s say a new business park is opening in your town and you would like to invest in the project. Blocksquare wants to “fractionalize” commercial real estate properties. Instead of one big company owning the new business park, it could be owned by multiple individuals or entities who all share the risk, and profits from the investment.

Why would big corporations let the average Joe invest in commercial real estate — wouldn’t they be losing money?

Yes and no. The big corporations would no longer have an implicit “monopoly” on commercial real estate investments as the average Joe would be granted easier access to the market. These companies would be giving up a slice of the pie so to speak.

That said, like most investments, commercial real estate investments are “illiquid”. What does this mean?

It means that you can’t simply move your investment of thousands or millions of dollars away from the investment without a costly, lengthy, and complex legal process. So Blocksquare makes it easier to liquidize these investments, as corporations can offer fractions of their investments to the average Joe who can buy a part of these real estate developments if the companies need liquidity for whatever reason (legal reasons, payroll, new developments etc.).

TL;DR

Blocksquare allows the common person the ability to invest in a trillion dollar market, a whole new market most were previously unable to break into. They also provide a service to big commercial real estate companies and investors as they give them the ability to share risk and free up their money for other projects.
