“DreamCity Capital aims to revolutionise real estate investing by providing equity investment offerings for small and medium retail investors through digital technology,” he said.
He remarked that the innovative platform allowed investors to acquire equity ownership in pre-vetted, funded, and greenfield commercially driven real estate projects.
He explained the unique features of the platform, stating, “Our model individualises investment offerings, streamlines stake-ownership, and ensures transparent administration of the individual real estate asset.”
According to Akhamere, this is achieved through a special purpose company framework, which warehouses investor equity and assets.
“The platform offers a secure and efficient model for real estate investing,” he added.
The approval from the SEC is seen as part of the commission’s broader effort to foster innovation within Nigeria’s capital market while ensuring robust investor protection.
Akhamere mentioned, “DreamCity Capital’s inclusion in this programme underscores our commitment to adhering to regulatory standards while driving innovation in the real estate sector.”
