Get the big decisions right before you spend.

The first decisions on a hospitality project (concept, brand, operator, contract) lock in returns for decades. We make sure they’re the right ones.

Questions we answer

Before you start, ask the right questions.

  • What is the objective of the project?
  • How should it be positioned in the market?
  • What product should we build, and for whom?
  • What will it cost?
  • How will it stay profitable?
  • Managed, leased or franchised?
  • Which brand, and on what terms?
  • What’s the plan for the next 5–10 years?
  • Should exit be part of the plan from day one?
  • Where do we start?

What we do

Shenzhen Shennan Road mixed-use development
Project: Shenzhen Shennan Rd. Mixed Use Development

Make sense of the investment and the market

Market & feasibility study

Can we do it? What should we build? How do we make it pay? We combine market data, operating know-how and investment analysis into a clear go / no-go recommendation, so the project starts on solid ground.

The right brand, on the right terms

Operator selection & contract negotiation

A hotel management agreement can run for 20 years or more. We run a competitive process across international and domestic brands, then negotiate the agreement so the owner keeps the right controls, fees and exit options.
