What people are buying is floor space in an "office block". The office block is for decentralized developers (dapps such as everpedia). As an investor you are buying tokens which can either be rented or sold to developers. Other buyers of tokens will be dapp developers who will also buy early on. Dan Larimer is going to be developing dapps on EOS.
