Crypto real-estate platform Alta has publicly released the full details of its vertiports concept.
“We are excited to release this concept publicly to the broader crypto, real estate and air mobility markets,” says CEO and founder Jeremy Crane. “This innovative business model, combined with our unique, modular design language, highlights the strength and expertise of the Alta team as well as allowing us to continue on our trajectory of developing world-changing real estate projects financed using DeFi crypto protocols.”
Alta is committed to building the largest network of rapid-deploying, vertiports and vertistops across metropolitan, suburban and rural hubs throughout the US using its unique go-to-market franchise model in combination with low-cost design and deployment. This network aligns with Alta's vision of driving commercial real estate development and financing using DeFi protocols.
With this approach, Alta aims to achieve over 10,000 landing locations in under 10 years.
Key features and benefits of the vertiport concept are:
- Vendor agnostic; flights can be booked through any provider
- MonoPort, DuoPort, TriPort, and QuadPort climate-controlled designs for standalone vertiports
- Express S, Express M, and Express L kiosks for existing parking decks and lots for vertistops
- Low-cost landing fees including the location's ability to subsidise
- Low-cost, rapid deployment via franchise model
- Low-cost franchise fee and competitive revenue split
- VertiportOS for streamlined industry efficiency.
Alta's model involves partnering with franchisees who have existing locations. Alta will provide the designs and engineering, kiosk development, city plan and access to centralised customers with billing, maintenance and management systems included via VertiportOS.
