• Well, it didn't take long for the sector to swing back in to "full steam ahead" mode in the new year!
Among the headlines this week have been the first UK Hyatt House property opening in Manchester - a significant landmark for the emerging extended stay hotel sector here; the signing of a Locke aparthotel in an ambitious Copenhagen mixed-use development; yet another planning consent for the rapidly growing The Collective co-living pipeline and news that Dubai is set to get more than 1500 high-end branded residence units in 2020.
All great signs that the coming 12 months are going to see continued growth and that the blurring between hospitality and real estate disciplines is gaining momentum.
In response to this we have introduced two new categories to the Serviced Apartment Awards - Best Co-living or Co-working Development, and Profit with Purpose. To find out more click here, and don't forget entries close on January 31st!
The blurring of boundaries will be a dominant theme at two of our exciting forthcoming events too - RECHARGE, which takes place in Barcelona in just six working days' time, and the first Urban Living Festival, which is being staged in London on July 1 and 2. Both events will not only give an up-to-the-minute snapshot of the market but will also see industry pioneers charting the future direction of urban real estate and hospitality. Don't miss out on your chance to participate!
