Overview
Cityprive is a Spanish real-estate crowdfunding platform that operates under the consumer-facing brand wecity. Its stated mission is to democratize access to the high returns of the institutional real-estate market, connecting institutional developers with individual and professional investors who co-finance property projects and share in the resulting returns. The name itself encodes the concept: "we are crowd" plus "we are city." The platform is a regulated participant in Spain's participatory-financing (crowdfunding) regime. According to its own disclosures, it is a Proveedor de Servicios de Financiación Participativa authorized by the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (CNMV), with a favorable proposal from the Banco de España, registered under number 9. That regulatory status places it among the first cohort of platforms licensed under Spain's crowdfunding framework. wecity positions itself as a technology ecosystem where institutional developers and investors communicate, finance projects and share profits. On the investor side it offers real-estate investment opportunities accessible from mobile or tablet, portfolio management tools, and a set of investor-protection resources including risk disclosures, a basic investor information document, a pre-contractual reflection period for non-experienced investors, financial reports, a financial glossary and a security section. On the developer side it markets itself as an alternative to traditional financing, giving promoters advanced technology to fund projects and build their own investor base. The platform publishes aggregate performance indicators on its homepage, including an average return since inception of 12.02%, €293 million financed, an average term of 11 months, €175 million returned, 221 projects financed, 100 projects returned and a 0% default rate. These figures are self-reported by the company and are presented as marketing metrics rather than audited statements. Cityprive/wecity is led by CEO Rafael Merry del Val. The company describes its team as multidisciplinary, with more than 50 years of combined experience and close to 400 real-estate transactions behind it. Beyond pure investment, the brand promotes a charity policy, corporate social responsibility and alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (ODS). Its taxonomy fit is fintech/crowdfunding, specifically real-estate crowdfunding within Spain's regulated participatory-financing market.
History
Cityprive operates in Spain's regulated participatory-financing (crowdfunding) market under the consumer brand wecity. The platform's own materials frame its origin around a simple idea: combining "crowd" and "city" to open institutional-grade real-estate returns to a broader investor base. Its mission statement is to democratize access to the high returns of the institutional real-estate market, creating a technology ecosystem where institutional developers and investors communicate, finance projects and share profits. A defining step in the platform's development was obtaining authorization as a Proveedor de Servicios de Financiación Participativa from the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (CNMV), with a favorable proposal from the Banco de España, under registration number 9. Spain's crowdfunding law, introduced in the mid-2010s, created a licensed regime for platforms intermediating participatory financing, and wecity's registration number places it among the earliest authorized platforms in the country. From that regulated base, wecity built a two-sided marketplace. For developers, it markets itself as an alternative to conventional financing, offering technology to fund projects and build a dedicated investor base. For investors, it provides access to real-estate projects, mobile and tablet portfolio management, and a structured set of investor-protection materials: risk warnings, a basic investor information document, a pre-contractual reflection period for non-experienced investors, financial reports, a financial glossary and a security section. The company reports aggregate platform metrics on its homepage, including an average return since inception of 12.02%, €293 million financed, an average term of 11 months, €175 million returned, 221 projects financed, 100 projects returned and a 0% default rate. These are self-published performance indicators. The team is described as multidisciplinary with more than 50 years of combined experience and close to 400 real-estate transactions, and the company is led by CEO Rafael Merry del Val. Beyond investment, wecity has articulated a charity policy, corporate social responsibility commitments and alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (ODS). The brand continues to operate as an active Spanish real-estate crowdfunding platform.
