TAP
Real Estate Secures Agreement to Digitize Zermatt Resort in Utah From Capitalization-to-Checkout; Delivering a New Technology Model for
Hospitality Ownership, Tokenized Issuances & the Lifecycle Management of Real Estate
TAP
Real Estate is a next-generation real estate company providing residential and commercial property owners with digital technology management
services across their property’s lifecycle; as well as the preparation and issuance of tokenized offerings into the market. The
agreement includes a technology services contract, equity ownership, tokenization exclusivity and a repeatable business model for TAP
Real Estate in commercial and hospitality markets.
Midway,
UT and San Diego, CA, September 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE): TAP Real Estate Technologies, Inc. (OTC: RWAX) announced today that it
has entered into a Technology Services Agreement with Alpenhaus Resort, LLC, the new owner and operator of Zermatt Resort in Midway,
Utah, to provide the digital infrastructure and strategic technology services supporting the existing resort and its planned upgrade.
TAP
Real Estate will serve as the digital infrastructure, tokenization and technology service provider. This distinction is central to the
model: TAP Real Estate supplies the connected operating infrastructure around the asset without replacing the people, entities, licensed
parties or property systems that legally control the resort. Pursuant to the agreement, Alpenhaus agreed to pay TAP Real Estate a $60,000
upfront technology platform fee and ongoing $6,000 monthly technology service fees. Alpenhaus also granted TAP Real Estate the exclusive
right to act as its tokenization services provider. The initial term of the agreement is one year, with automatic one-year extensions
unless either side provides notice of termination.
Equity
ownership in a historic Utah resort located in one of the fastest-growing U.S. recreation corridors, with plans for significant modernization.
Separately,
TAP Real Estate received a 2% ownership interest in Alpenhaus. TAP Real Estate received this ownership stake in exchange for the transfer
of its purchase option for the Zermatt Resort to Alpenhaus.
Under
Alpenhaus, the historic Zermatt Resort and grounds are expected to undergo a significant property improvement program under its new ownership.
The plan is intended to transform the existing resort into an upgraded four-star, four-season destination while modernizing its rooms,
public spaces, meetings and group facilities, wellness experiences, operating systems and guest services, and more.
The
Zermatt Resort offers convenient access to Deer Valley Resort’s expanding ski terrain, Soldier Hollow and other Utah 2034 Winter
Olympics venues, cycling, championship golf, Blue-Ribbon fly fishing on the Provo River, nearby ATV rentals, boating, paddleboarding
and jet skiing at Deer Creek and Jordanelle reservoirs.
Located
in Midway, Utah, approximately 45 minutes from Salt Lake City International Airport, Zermatt sits within one of the Mountain West’s
most concentrated four-season recreation corridors. Midway, Utah, boasts one of the highest per capita income levels of any city in Utah
and is a fast-growing corridor for technology executives, second homes and relocation from other states to the “Silicon Slopes.”
Zermatt
boasts 65,000 square feet of convention, meeting and exhibition space, making it one of the most desirable group destinations in the
region. Learn more about the Zermatt digital operating model and planned transformation at: TAPRealEstate.com/zermatt.
A
digital model from capitalization-to-checkout for the next generation of property owners
The
TAP Real Estate technology engagement is designed to establish a repeatable business model for the full lifecycle of a hospitality or
commercial asset consisting of flat fees, equity and performance incentives, depending on the relationship with each owner or property.
The
TAP Real Estate business model establishes multiple revenue streams per property in exchange for subscription technologies, digital payments,
registry and asset recordation and tokenization services:
| 1. | Platform
Fees |
| | 2. | Technology
Services Fees |
| 3. | Tokenization
Fees |
| 4. | Equity
Ownership in Select Properties |
Traditional
property technology separates capitalization, ownership administration, renovation records, hotel systems, vendor workflows, payments
and guest engagement. TAP Real Estate’s approach connects those layers while preserving the authority, privacy and legal boundaries
of each participant, creating a new model for a digital-first real estate technology company built for the significant changes ahead
across one of the world’s largest asset classes
TAP
Real Estate: One platform, multiple technology solutions for property owners
TAP
Real Estate is developing a next-generation real estate technology company that can service the digital lifecycle of renters, homeowners
and commercial property operators. Its core website, TAPRealEstate.com, delivers AI, market intelligence, tokenization information,
payments, investing and an asset registry in one place for consumers, property owners and tokenized issuers.
As
part of the TAP Real Estate subscription layer, Zermatt will serve as the pilot property for bringing together all three audience-specific
editions of the TAP Real Estate web platform. The services share one TAP identity, registry, communications, property data, payment rails
and permission controls, while offering multiple layers of targeted services across payments, documents, repairs, service providers,
and asset registry.
Consumer
Subscription: Serves authorized owners, investors and guests through property information, statements, notices, votes, payments,
services and guest experiences.
Pro
Subscription: Connects service providers to requests, communication, jobs, quotes, schedules, invoices, payment requests and the
retained property record.
Enterprise
Subscription: Supports ownership administration, the physical asset, the property improvement program, investor reporting and approved
operating integrations.
Further,
TAP Pay adds verified internal transfers, payment requests, ACH, real-time payments, domestic wires and native stablecoin send and receive,
including USDC, where eligible and enabled. TAP Wallet’s blockchain payment infrastructure is supported by U.S. Patent No. 12,118,613
B2, System and Method for Transferring Currency Using Blockchain, through technology licensed from TAP, Inc. The TAP Registry
provides digital recordation of assets in order to prepare owners to more seamlessly become issuers of tokenized offerings, verified
ownership and capital formation.
In
the future, as TAP Real Estate and its partners at TAP, Inc. begin to tokenize more properties for investment, the companies may also
look to create new TAP Strategies that can accompany various real estate themes, sectors or regions into new investment baskets; further
digitizing the future of real estate into a more programmable, investable asset class beyond just singular buyers and sellers.
“As
the world’s leading trading exchanges continue to pilot 24/7, tokenized formats, it is anticipated that more ways to invest into
real estate, ranging from tokenized stocks to real-world assets and prediction markets will become available. We believe that property
owners will need end-to-end support to digitize their documents, title, registry and operations as they become issuers into the public
markets, and TAP Real Estate will serve as a new kind of real estate company to help them do that, very similar to how investment banks
emerged around the traditional equities markets for corporate issuers,” continued Hopkins.
A
property that remembers across investors, guests, ownership and service providers
TAP
Real Estate for Enterprise organizes the digital organization, recordation and improvement program tracking for rooms, suites, public
areas, amenities, equipment, warranties, inspections and preventive maintenance. The objective is simple: the hotel asset keeps its verified
history, while confidential documents and personal data remain private and permissioned.
The
TAP Registry is expected to preserve a digital property passport covering approved ownership, transaction and material asset events.
TAP previously used the TAP Registry to memorialize the completed repayment of more than $7 million in loans tied to The Slope, a new
mountain village and Andaz residences property along the growing Midway-Heber resort corridor, just minutes from Deer Valley East.
The
relationship with Zermatt Resort extends the TAP Real Estate model from the digital and blockchain recording of a completed transaction
at The Slope, to the entire process of capitalization, property improvements, tokenization and the continuing lifecycle of property management
and operations.
Using
the digital organization and documentation delivered by TAP Real Estate, potential future tokenized capitalization of Zermatt will represent
approved equity interests in the designated issuer while recorded title remains in the applicable property-owning entity and the legally
operative capitalization table remains controlling. Tokenization changes the format and administration of ownership. It does not replace
applicable laws, securities requirements, title records, investor protections or transfer restrictions using the TAP Invest and TAP Registry
platform.
A
repeatable model for TAP Real Estate
The
engagement covers the initial digital foundation, tokenized capitalization, continuing owner and investor administration, property operations,
verified payments, guest workflows and approved future capital events.
Digital
foundation. Property records, access controls, integrations and the Zermatt digital property environment.
Ownership
and capital. Token design, issuance, cap-table synchronization, onboarding, reporting, distributions, votes, consents and approved
transfers.
Operations
and payments. The Enterprise, Consumer and Pro editions, TAP Registry, TAP Pay and approved workflows for the upgrade, asset, service
network and guest experience.
“A
property should not lose its digital operating memory every time an owner, manager or service provider changes,” said Gregory Hopkins,
Chief Executive Officer of TAP Real Estate. “At Zermatt, we are building from capitalization to checkout: one permissioned digital
backbone connecting ownership, the upgrade, operations, payments and the connected guest experience.”
