Our take
For a long time, Wall Street had a monopoly on real estate investments. Crowd Street leverages equity crowdfunding in order to give accredited investors access to institution-level real estate opportunities outside of public equities.
Crowd Street's appeal lies in its combination of in-house commercial real estate expertise and proprietary technology. So far, this combination has yielded impressive results, with users investing more than $4.4B in over 800 projects.
As equity crowdfunding begins to become more prevalent in real estate investment, Crowd Street is staying two steps ahead. With the move of its headquarters to New York, it looks ready to take on the challenges and opportunities of a rapidly evolving market.
