Q: How is a participation different from a timeshare?

With a timeshare you buy the right to use a property for certain weeks a year, and you usually pay a yearly maintenance fee for that use. With a participation at Circular Urban you take a private stake in the company or project that runs the asset. What you get is not nights of use: it is the rights the participation agreement sets over the project's results, which are subject to its actual performance.
