How long will my money be tied up in a project?
The investment term varies by project, but generally expect anywhere from about 6 months to 3 years. Each project on UOWN will have an estimated timeline or 'expected completion date' listed. For example, a project might say 'Estimated Completion: Q4 2025' or a specific date like Dec 2026. This gives you an idea of how long your money will be tied up.
Typical scenarios:
• Smaller refurbishment projects could complete in under a year.
• Ground-up construction of a building might take 18–24 months.
• Larger or multi-phase developments could span 2–3 years.
• Occasionally, some projects might plan multiple exit points (say, sell half the units at 18 months, and finish the rest by 24 months).
Always check the project's info for the projected timeline. Remember, these are estimates. Delays can happen – weather, planning permissions, construction challenges, market slowdowns, you name it. So a 12-month project could end up taking 15 months, for instance. We buffer timelines in our projections, but real estate development often surprises. We'll keep investors updated if a project is running behind schedule.
Importantly, during the term, you cannot withdraw your investment (since we don't have a secondary market currently). Your money is illiquid until the project concludes. So make sure you won't need that cash in the interim.
