RXR Acquisition, a blank check company formed by RXR Realty targeting real estate technology, filed on Friday with the SEC to raise up to $250 million in an initial public offering.

The Uniondale, NY-based company plans to raise $250 million by offering 25 million units at $10. Each unit consists of one share of common stock and one-fifth of a warrant, exercisable at $11.50. At the proposed deal size, RXR Acquisition would command a market value of $313 million.

The company is led by CEO and Chairman Scott Rechler, the founder and CEO of real estate owner, manager, and developer RXR Realty.
