Prometheus is developing a pioneering project called ‘The Royal Blockhouse’, together with some of the biggest European influencers in the field, bringing together two aspects of the ‘blockchain’ revolution: the NFT and Blockchain infrastructure, this being the first of its kind in the real estate world.

The Royal Blockhouse consists of a set of international luxury villas, designed by Prometheus, Scandinavian and Portuguese architects. They will be available in idyllic locations around the world within a month, setting a new standard within the international real estate development space for luxury properties.
