      The Problem       

Luxury Hospitality Performs.
Ownership Has Not Kept Pace.

      
        
          

The Asset Class

          

Luxury STRs generate premium ADR and resilient occupancy across top-tier markets. The performance case is established.

        
        
          

Ownership Constrained By:

          
                
  • High capital requirements
    •             
  • Structural complexity
    •             
  • Limited institutional access
    •           
        
      
      
The bottleneck is not performance — it is participation.
    
  
     
    
      The Solution       

An Institutional Ownership Platform
for Hospitality Assets

      
        

Compliant Framework

Regulated fractional ownership vehicle per asset with transparent governance.

        

Curated Portfolio

Not a marketplace — hand-selected institutional assets meeting strict STR-zone criteria.

        

Embedded Operations

Professional STR operations, dynamic pricing, and investor reporting built in.

        

Standardized Experience

Consistent investor dashboards and distributions across every asset.

Not a marketplace of deals. A platform for ownership.
    
  
     
    
      Why Now       

Converging Structural Drivers.

      
        
01

Demand Shift

Consumer spending is migrating permanently to branded, high-quality short-term stays. Premium STR demand is outpacing supply in top-tier markets.

        
02

Regulatory Clarity

Key markets are improving STR frameworks, reducing uncertainty for institutional capital deployment.

        
03

Capital Appetite

Institutional appetite for asset-backed, yield-generating alternatives is growing. Passive governance structures now meet investor expectations.

      
      
Technology now enables compliant ownership governance at scale — the infrastructure layer is achievable.
    
  
     
    
      How It Works
