Meta­verse Group, which is head­quar­tered in Decen­tra­land, announced on Nov. 23 that it had com­plet­ed what it calls “the largest Meta­verse land acqui­si­tion in history.”

The sub­sidiary of Tokens.com snapped up 116 parcels of land “in the heart of the Fash­ion Street dis­trict” in Decen­tra­land. The total size of the land pur­chased is equiv­a­lent to 6,090 square feet of land at the cost of 618,000 MANA tokens worth about $2.5 million.

Meta­verse Group plans to devel­op the estate for fash­ion shows and com­merce. It will also form part­ner­ships with fash­ion brands look­ing to expand their pres­ence in the Meta­verse, espe­cial­ly in Decen­tra­land. “Fash­ion is the next mas­sive area for growth in the Meta­verse,” said Sam Hamil­ton, Head of Con­tent at the Decen­tra­land Foundation.

The deal is the first of many by Meta­verse Group since Tokens.com became its pri­ma­ry share­hold­er. The list­ed Cana­di­an blockchain invest­ment firm invest­ed $2.75 mil­lion in Meta­verse Group on Nov. 17 to increase its con­trol of the shares from 50% to 70%. Meta­verse Group plans on using the funds to buy more land in Meta­vers­es such as Decen­tra­land, Som­ni­um Space, The Sand­box, Cryp­tovox­els, and Upland.
