MANTRA, the Institutional-grade Layer 1 blockchain for tokenized RWAs, and MAG, a top real estate developer in the United Arab Emirates, announced a major collaboration today that will lead to the tokenization of MAG’s real estate portfolio worth half a billion US dollars, marking an important milestone in the global tokenized real world asset sector.
With MAG’s entire real estate portfolio valued at over US$5 billion, the partnership with MANTRA seeks to transform real estate investing by using blockchain technology. Beginning with Keturah Reserve, a posh residential development in Meydan, Dubai, that provides transformative living via space design, the collaboration will launch a real estate financing vault on MANTRA’s specifically built, compliance-ready Layer 1 blockchain. This initial vault product is underpinned by the security of blockchain technology and offers investors an appealing yield from a different asset class.
With projects to be tokenized that are structured in numerous tranches and an aggregate transaction value of US$500 million, MANTRA and MAG will be well-positioned as market leaders in the Middle East’s tokenized real estate market.
Stablecoins and $OM tokens will produce yield for vault investors, with stablecoins providing an estimated 8% APY projected return, which will be further increased by $OM tokens.
In addition, the initial vault will be backed by MAG’s corporate credit and over-collateralized by a US$75 million mega mansion at the Keturah Resort’s “The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Dubai, Creekside” development. This will provide strong investor protection while also leading the way in tokenization-based real estate investment.
John Patrick Mullin, CEO and Founder of MANTRA, stated:
“Partnering with MAG represents a major milestone in our mission to bridge blockchain with tangible assets, with a special focus on the Middle East. This venture will set new standards in real estate tokenization, offering global investors access to premium real estate assets in the UAE.”
Talal Moafaq Al Gaddah, CEO of MAG Lifestyle Development, commented:
“Working with MANTRA allows us to leverage cutting-edge blockchain technology to enhance the value and accessibility of our real estate offerings. This strategic collaboration is pivotal and forward-facing as we continue to innovate and lead in luxury real estate development.”
