ACCORDING TO SAVILLSin its report The UK Extended Stay Market (2016/17), 2017 will be a bumper year for development in the UK, with more than 2,600 units set to come on line – a 13.8 per cent increase on existing stock.
The following is an indication of what opened recently and what is to come.
• IN LONDON, NEWCOMER CUCKOOZ opened its first property in Aldgate last September, has further units in Shoreditch and Hoxton and has just opened in King’s Cross in August. It is looking at locations in and around London Bridge and Old Street. Established operator Go Native London Warehouse’s aparthotel will debut in 2019.
• MARLIN’S FIRST APARTHOTEL opened in Waterloo on May 26 and benefited from BA’s IT problems during the bank holiday weekend. “Loads of people were looking for last-minute accommodation, so what we thought was going to be a gentle launch turned out to be rather hectic,” says managing director Susan Cully. “The feedback has been superb.”
• Q APARTMENTS INTERNATIONAL ACQUIRED Skyline Worldwide, now Skyline Q, and investment will lead to more than 5,000 units by 2020. “There will be continued consolidation and we will also be looking into further acquisitions,” says CEO Thiago Hahn. In addition, Ascott has
