Answers to common questions

Urbanitae is regulated in Spain by the National Securities Market Commission (CNMV) and subject to European regulations under Law 18/2022, aimed at ensuring adequate protection for various investor categories. Additionally, each project undergoes a rigorous review before being published on the platform. While all investments carry risks, real estate crowdfunding offers a diversified option and allows access to high-potential projects with a fraction of the capital required for traditional real estate investment.

To date, all completed projects have achieved positive returns on Urbanitae, with an average of over 13% IRR.

Urbanitae allows investments starting from €500, enabling both small and large investors to access high-value projects.

This helps users choose investment amounts that align with their financial goals and risk tolerance.
