Chivetta, Selequity<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Just one year after its launch, Selequity has formed a vital partnership that will take the online platform for crowd investing in commercial real estate to a new level. The company just joined forces with Virtual Realty Enterprises L.L.C., a commercial real estate lender and operating firm, in a strategic alliance that opens the door for Selequity\u2019s clients and project sponsors to new options for interim financing and the funding of larger and more diverse deals, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a certain synergy between Selequity, which boasts the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/business-specialties\/technology\/former-cassidy-turley-execs-launch-cre-crowdfunding-platform\/1004118809.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">former CEO and former CFO<\/a> of commercial real estate services firm Cassidy Turley (now DTZ) as two of its co-founders, and VRE, a company that has managed half-a-billion in assets over the last 20 years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are two St. Louis-based real estate companies with many connections in common,\u201d AJ Chivetta, CEO of Selequity, told <em>Commercial Property Executive<\/em>. \u201cSelequity is opportunistic\u00a0in growing our business and looking for companies who want to grow their business. VRE is a creative and successful group, and we believe this alliance is a perfect addition to what Selequity can provide to commercial real estate sponsors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Selequity introduces accredited investors to private real estate deals, while introducing commercial real estate owners to the company\u2019s vast network of investors. VRE comes to the table as a senior, junior and mezzanine lender, and will consider projects&#8211;including endeavors in the office, retail, multi-family and hospitality sectors&#8211;identified by Selequity for consideration.<\/p>\n<p>Selequity\u2019s alliance with VRE is just the beginning; the company plans to take the online crowdfunding industry by storm.<\/p>\n<p>Chivetta added, \u201cWe have seen online private placements of commercial real\u00a0estate become\u00a0a game-changer. If you look at the Masssolution research report, online real estate transactions have gone from more than $1 billion in 2014 to a projected $2.5 billion this year.\u00a0Because of what Selequity brings to the commercial real estate marketplace in experience, knowledge and connections, we believe we will be able to shape and capture a significant share of this new industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Recently, Selequity wrapped up its first funding during its closed beta phase, having raised roughly $2.6 million of equity for a Class A neighborhood shopping center in the company\u2019s hometown. \u201cThis is only one type of transaction with which Selequity can assist, and there are many others,\u201d Chivetta said.<\/p>\n<p>Selequity presently has two other projects during its beta phase and expects general public offerings on its site by summer\u2019s end.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One year after its launch, Selequity has a new partnership intended to take the crowd investing platform to a new level. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":969,"featured_media":1004123230,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21742,21787],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1004123216","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-latest","category-technology"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.0 (Yoast SEO v28.0) -
