Move to capitalize on the digital financialization of the global real estate economy
Florida-based World Property Ventures (WPV) announced this week that it is undergoing a strategic reorganization into a next-generation digital investment bank, positioning itself to lead the digital transformation of the $654 trillion-dollar global property sector.
Formerly structured as a PropTech incubator, World Property Ventures is evolving into a fully integrated and government-regulated investment bank focused exclusively on the digitization of the global real estate industry. The move reflects growing demand for AI-powered technologies, real-time market data, digital financial products, and more streamlined models of capital formation.
Sitting at the true intersection of Main Street real estate, Silicon Valley innovation, Wall Street capital markets, and DARPA-caliber disruption, World Property Ventures is purpose-built to finance and build the world’s digital infrastructure, information ecosystems, investment products, and transaction rails powering tomorrow’s AI-driven property markets.
The firm will ultimately operate across four high-conviction verticals, each designed to generate long-term Alpha by addressing legacy inefficiencies and accelerating the adoption of AI-driven solutions across the global real estate value chain.
Merchant Banking
WPV’s internal venture studio incubates and scales PropTech companies addressing analog inefficiencies across the global property sector. Flagship portfolio companies include World Property Markets, consisting of a series of emerging AI-powered real estate and mortgage marketplaces and search engine, including GlobalListings.com, which currently hosts over 3 million active listings across 112 countries and growing. The firm is also developing World Property Media, the parent company of a global ecosystem of real estate market news, data, signals and streaming platforms.
Private Equity
The firm will soon begin to acquire strategic equity stakes in PropTech startups and digital assets that provide synergies across the company’s portfolio of businesses.
Digital Securitization
WPV’s emerging investment banking division will originate and structure institutional-grade tokenized real estate products, including debt, equity, and bespoke credit instruments. The unit is expected to scale rapidly in the coming years in response to rising consumer and institutional appetite for tokenized real estate securities.
Digital Exchanges
WPV is also developing the World Property Exchange, an emerging and regulated platform for the global issuance and automated trading of tokenized real estate securities. The exchange is being engineered for high liquidity and institutional-grade transparency.
“Our company’s reorganization reflects the directional shift underway across the real estate, technology, and capital markets industries,” said Michael Gerrity, Founder and CEO of WPV. “We’re building the digital backbone, architecture and infrastructure that will power the next generation of AI-driven transaction platforms for the global real estate economy.”
As part of the transition, WPV will soon relocate to Downtown West Palm Beach, approximately 70 miles north of its current Miami offices on Brickell Avenue. While all of WPV’s operational portfolio companies will remain in Miami, the West Palm Beach office will serve as the firm’s new global financial command center.
When asked about the future of real estate, Gerrity said: “The global real estate industry is on the cusp of a profound disruption — a full-scale transformation from analog to digital. Over the next decade, real estate will begin to operate more like Wall Street than Main Street. MLSs will evolve into automated, AI-driven exchanges. Property closings will become real-time digital trades. Property titles will be tokenized as digital securities. And agents? Most will be replaced by AI-powered transaction bots operating at one-hundredth the cost of today’s commission structure. This isn’t speculation — it’s the new trajectory of the world’s largest and most archaic asset class: Real Estate.”
