Headquartered in downtown Miami, WPV is positioned at the true intersection of Main Street real estate, Silicon Valley technologies, and Wall Street capital markets. The firm operates as both a vertically integrated venture studio, and soon, a next-generation digital investment bank. Its mission: to modernize and digitize the $658 trillion global real estate economy by addressing and fixing embedded market inefficiencies and archaic industry processes.
“Together, WPV and WPB form a tightly integrated, dual-platform structure delivering strategic alpha through proprietary deal flow, asset tokenization, and our deep asymmetric exposure to the future of real estate technology, finance, and information flows,” said Gerrity. “It’s a network effect equation of 2 + 2 + 2 = 9.”
A Global PropTech Venture Studio
Founded in 2024, World Property Ventures designs, builds, funds, and scales real estate technology startups from the ground up. Using a first-principles approach, asymmetric market intelligence, and unbiased industry perspectives, WPV targets friction points across the global real estate value chain, from initial search to closing.
WPV’s vertically integrated development model for all its portfolio companies spans ideation to exit, enabling WPV to generate enduring shareholder value while transforming key real estate market infrastructure and functionality.
World Property Ventures is currently incubating and developing several high-impact portfolio companies, including:
- World Property Markets – AI-powered global real estate and mortgage marketplaces, search engines, and matching engines.
- World Property Media – Integrated global media and data platforms for real estate market news, analytics, signals, and streaming.
- World Property Exchange (WPE.com) – An emerging SEC-regulated digital exchange for real estate token issuance and trading.
- GOV PROP TECH – Specialized real estate technology applications for governments, defense agencies, and the intelligence community.
Launching World Property Bank
Set to launch in 2026, World Property Bank is purpose-built to support the capitalization needs of both WPV’s portfolio companies and the broader digital real estate ecosystem of tomorrow. WPB’s primary focus will be the creation, structuring, and distribution of real estate-backed digital securities and tokens at scale, including tokenized real estate debt and equity instruments, as well as other bespoke investment products.
