Fractional Ownership is the new bandwagon that the real estate players are jumping onto.
In the world of trials, fractional ownership is what real estate as an industry offers for investors. Its model is custom-made for people more open to trying other low-risk and optimal options.
So, what is Fractional Ownership?
As the name suggests, Fractional Ownership is partial Ownership in big-ticket properties jointly operated by a group of investors and pooled investment. These large commercial properties do not otherwise fall under the investment potential of retail investors. The real estate management company invites retail investors to invest a certain amount and benefit from the appreciation of the rates.
The ethos stays rooted in the idea of democratizing the real estate sector.
Commercial real estate has been a playground for large corporate entities and wealthy investors. However, with the arrival of the Fractional Ownership trend in India, retail investors are also participating in these high-potential markets and reaping the benefits.
According to an analysis by the JLL, Despite the Covid-19 pandemic, fractional investment deals worth 350 Million were in their advanced stages in India.
But can the scale get bigger?
The answer is always yes.
Experts believe that in the next 7 to 10 years, the Tokenisation of Real Estate would pave the way for huge real estate exchanges to emerge worldwide, which in size, scale, and credibility would compete against the likes of NASDAQ or SGX, or NSE.
And this time around, this innovation will be India-led in the form of our customer ALT DRX.
What is ALT DRX?
ALT DRX is World’s First Digital Real Estate marketplace which allows Indians to invest in dematerialized real estate, one square foot at a time. This aims to solve the liquidity problem in mid-size real estate assets and allow capital to move into rent-yielding assets like rental housing, hostels, care homes, holiday homes, schools, industrial warehousing, high-street retail, hotels, and managed offices.
How does ALT DRX work?
Through its ALT.SQFT, a tradable digital asset, ALT DRX allows you to Invest in a Limited Liability Partnership firm that buys real estate. There is also the added benefit of owning Partnership Rights & a proportionate share of ALT.SQFT. These tradable digital assets represent a proportionate financial value of 1 SQFT of real estate.
The investment model allows users to earn income from Partnership Rights and ALT.SQFT, with the flexibility to Buy and sell ALT.SQFT anytime.

How does ALT DRX leverage Banking APIs?
