MetaProp, the New York-based PropTech venture capital firm, today announced the closing of its latest real estate technology seed fund.

High-profile limited partners include long-time investors PGIM, Mitsui Fudosan, CBRE, Bridge Investment Group, Cushman & Wakefield, and JLL Spark, as well as select new category leaders from around the world, including Ivanhoe Cambridge, Intact Ventures, Messer, and Ferguson (North America), DAMAC (UAE), Development Bank of Japan and Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank (Japan), Swire Properties (Hong Kong, China), Jakarta Setiabudi Internasional (Indonesia), Eugene Corporation (South Korea), and Ananda Development (Thailand).
