Overview
Landhive is a fractional real estate platform that lets people invest in vetted properties for as little as a few hundred euros, instead of buying a whole building1. It is aimed at everyday investors who want a stake in premium property, plus developers who want to raise money without selling an asset outright2. Each share is issued as a digital token recorded on a blockchain, and investors can earn rental income and any rise in the property's value1.
Landhive is a Swiss-based platform that uses Cardano, a blockchain network, to record who owns each slice of a property. The company frames its model around two gaps it set out to close: giving property developers a flexible alternative to bank financing, and opening real estate deals to people who were previously priced out3. Founder Jens Bezuidenhout spent over a decade as an investment banker before building Landhive around problems he saw in property development3.
Key Features
- Low entry point for property investing. Investors can buy into vetted real estate from around 222 euros, a fraction of what a full property purchase requires1.
- Two ways to invest in one asset. Members can choose between equity shares, which represent part-ownership of a property, or revenue tokens, which pay out a portion of the income an asset generates1.
- A marketplace to sell early. Landhive runs a regulated secondary market where investors can sell or swap their property shares with other vetted members, rather than waiting for the property itself to sell1.
- Identity-checked access. Every user passes identity and anti-money-laundering verification before reaching the marketplace, so the investor network is vetted rather than open to anyone2.
- A single dashboard for holdings. A user-friendly dashboard lets investors track, manage, and monitor each of their property investments in one place1.
What to Expect
Getting started follows a clear path: sign up, create or connect a digital wallet, pass identity and anti-money-laundering checks, then browse the marketplace2. The wallet holds the tokens that represent your share of each property, while the dashboard shows what you own and how it is performing.
Once inside, you find a curated list of properties rather than an open exchange of thousands of listings. Landhive selects residential and commercial projects, including serviced apartments, based on their potential returns2. Listings span prime locations in the UK and EU, and the platform leans toward accredited and self-certified investors2.
The secondary market is designed to give investors an exit before a property is sold, with availability depending on finding a buyer within the vetted network1.
