Real Estate Technology Has A New Home In New York City
The real estate era has seen unprecedented innovation—not to mention investment—over the previous few years. And now, thanks to a new facility from project capital fund MetaProp, the industry stands to gain even greater ground, particularly inside the New York marketplace.
The VC has just announced the launch of its “PropTech Place”—a hub for all things property tech-associated. Located at 214 W. Thirty-ninth Street in Manhattan, the spot boasts co-operating spaces, curated “PropTech” famous, and a complete calendar of educational events and programming.
MetaProp has even relocated to the assets and expects to invest an extra $three million in its development over the subsequent five years.
It’s simply the modern-day pass in organizing New York City as one of the world’s technological leaders. Last month, Savills named the Big Apple the No. 1 tech town in the nation. Even though Amazon would possibly have called it quits at its NYC headquarters, different tech giants have stepped in to fill the void. Google announced plans for a West Village campus past due final 12 months, and Facebook is thinking about a Manhattan growth.
At any fee, PropTech Place is set to help NYC—and the actual property tech sector in standard—continue its report-breaking growth. The facility is already home to some tech investors, academics, and start-ups.
As Nick Romito, chief executive officer of leasing platform VTS, defined it, “The actual estate technology industry wanted a domestic base. I consider this space where PropTech leaders can go if they want to get inspired.”
