Following the introduction of regulations governing Small and Medium Real Estate Investment Trusts (SM REITs) by SEBI, several fractional ownership platforms have initiated the registration process. These platforms aim to provide investors with regulated access to rent-yielding real estate assets and enhance transparency in the fractional ownership model.
Several fractional ownership platforms have begun the process of registering under the SM REIT regulations. Strata, a commercial real estate investment platform, plans to apply for an SM REIT license by the end of the month. hBits, another fractional ownership platform, aims to file registration documents and launch its first offering within three months. WiseX is also preparing to register under the SM REIT regulations in the coming months. Integrated co-working firm EFC (I) Ltd intends to form an investment manager entity to manage SM REIT assets through a subsidiary. The minimum investment threshold for these SM REITs is ₹10 lakh.
