After beginning the process of international expansion last December with the launch of operations in theFranceandPortugal, Urbanitae is now focusing on Italy, a market with high growth potential.

This is another step towards our goal of becoming Europe's leading real estate crowdfunding platform within two years,” commented Diego Bestard, CEO and co-founder of Urbanitae.

Urbanitae, which specializes in real estate crowdfunding projects from 2 to 5 million euros, is based mainly on two forms of financing. 65% of transactions are in the equity or capital yield format, where investors become shareholders in the intermediary company responsible for the execution of the project. This category also includes income projects that, in addition to the final capital gain, also offer the investor low-risk recurring income.

The remaining 35% corresponds to debt projects, with a line of credit for developers to finance real estate projects up to €5 million.
