In Nigeria, seven out of ten real estate projects stall mid-construction, resulting in unfinished buildings and billions of dollars in trapped capital. Many developments are abandoned when funding pipelines collapse, often because of opaque management and limited transparency. Developers also struggle with financing models that make projects unviable, while diaspora Nigerians send more than $20 billion home each year without consistent channels for investment.

Assetrix, launching today, introduces a new platform designed to broaden participation in real estate. The service offers both fractional and direct investment opportunities, starting from as little as $500 or the equivalent. Fractional access is supported by a tokenization framework, where digital records represent verified shares of a property project. These are managed in partnership with Sycamore, an SEC-licensed firm responsible for treasury and compliance oversight.

Mayowa Adeosun Co-founded Sycamore and Bedrock Residences before Assetrix

Founded by Mayowa Adeosun, who also co-founded Sycamore and Bedrock Residences, Assetrix focuses initially on premium developments in Lagos, particularly in Ikoyi, Victoria Island, and Lekki. The platform is aimed at diaspora professionals and local investors who want simplified exposure to real estate without the operational challenges of direct ownership.

“The trust gap in real estate is not only about bad actors. It is about the absence of infrastructure that makes investment safe and transparent,” said Adeosun. “Investors want to see how their money is being used. Developers want fairer access to capital. Assetrix addresses this by providing transparent milestone funding and conducting professional due diligence. We are starting with 170 founding members as a pilot to test the model.”

Assetrix provides access to curated projects, thorough vetting of developers, and milestone-linked disbursement of funds. Every property requires verified title documentation, and investor participation is recorded digitally. Progress and funding are tracked in real-time, providing visibility into construction milestones and strengthening accountability at each stage.

The first projects will range from ₦400 million to ₦800 million, including residential and commercial spaces intended for income generation and rental use. Each project includes defined exit options and monitoring features to help investors track outcomes.

The platform also introduces three membership tiers:

• Starter: Priority access to the first projects, with zero transaction fees for three months.
  
• Premium: Six months of complimentary access, early participation options, and quarterly project briefings.
  
• Founding Circle: Lifetime fee discounts, extended project access, and recognition across Assetrix communications.

The launch comes as Nigerian regulators explore new frameworks for digital finance, and as demand grows for transparent and regulated channels into real estate from the diaspora.

Assetrix’s public identity is expressed through its tagline: “The Asterisk () of Real Estate Investment.”* The asterisk, often seen in fine print, is reimagined here as a symbol of trust, transparency, and accountability. Internally, the team, known as the ArchiTechs, works under the motto: “Architects of Ownership. Builders of Change.”

“Our mission is to make real estate more accessible, transparent, and liquid,” Adeosun added. “We want Africans everywhere to have opportunities to participate in property markets, starting here at home.”
