Tokenised equity in South Africa’s everyday retail centres. 4 Year Horizon. Expected IRR 17%–20%

DPI focuses on these “everyday spend” centres in growing neighbourhoods, a segment that’s historically proved more stable than big malls.
Through Mesh, you can now buy tokenised equity in DPI, fractionally, transparently, and with professional oversight.
