Blockus

Blockus was created by Alexandre Bartel and Mehdi Idjennadene and is incubated by Charleroi-Entreprendre and BeCentral. In a year of development, they have managed to put together a small team of 7 people in addition to themselves (developers, marketer, property expert, etc.) as well as three advisors, experts in their sector.

Today, the traditional real estate investment system is not very accessible and has several barriers/constraints. get a good return on their investment and avoid having to pay rent. However, not everybody have the opportunity to buy student accommodation because of the constraints of the traditional property market: Everyone wants to invest in real estate. But not everyone has the opportunity to do so. There are various reasons for this: tightened credit conditions, reduced purchasing power, inflation, complex liquidity and high entry fees.

Based on this observation, we decided to develop a real estate tokenization project that allows everyone to invest in student housing from 20€ by buying a simple token registered on the blockchain. At the same time, we have seen during our time at university that many students are still struggling to find accommodation to live near their campus. A real systemic problem exists and intensifies year after year.

Blockus' positioning is simple: tokenise exclusively property located in student towns. Based on the desire to contribute to the social environment in which Blockus will develop its activities, tokenised accommodation will be reserved exclusively for students in the towns in which the properties are located. This will make it easier for them to find accommodation close to their campus.
