PRESS RELEASE
Paris, 19 October 2017
Strengthening the growth outlook in the hotel sector and Group's simplification
Merging the two hotel investment structures – Foncière des Murs and FDM Management: moving upmarket and increasing the Group's development capability
The Group is to bring together its two hotel investment structures through a merger of FDM Management (operating properties, 40.7%-owned by Foncière des Murs) with Foncière des Murs (lease properties, 50%-owned by Foncière des Régions), based on the Triple Net NAV at the end of June. After this transaction, which should be finalised in early 2018, Foncière des Régions, the sole general partner of Foncière des Murs, will own 42% of its subsidiary's capital and retain control over it.
The Group will enjoy stronger and improved exposure to the hotel sector. With a post-transaction portfolio of more than 42,000 rooms (55,000 under management) and €4.3 billion (€1.8 billion, Group Share, i.e. 14% of the portfolio1 ), Foncière des Régions is establishing itself as the leading player in hotel investment in Europe, and is strengthening its growth outlook by:
-
moving the portfolio upmarket, so that it will include 68% of high-end and mid-level hotels;
-
increasing the hotel exposure to Germany (34% of the portfolio, up from 25%), in particular Berlin (15%, up from 8%). As the leading economy in Europe, Germany is the world's 7th tourist destination (33 million visitors) and offers strong growth prospects, in particular in Berlin (6.1% increase in income per room YTD at end-June and 3.2% expected in 2018);
-
asserting its status as the privileged partner of hotel operators and managers in Europe, with a single point of contact operating across the entire hotel property value chain. Accordingly, Foncière des Régions supports 18 operators and 28 brands with their development strategy in Europe, including AccorHotels, B&B, Carlson-Rezidor, InterContinental, Starwood-Marriott, NH, Motel One, Meininger, etc.;
-
strengthening value creation sources and increasing its development capabilities. In particular, the Group is enhancing its land bank at Alexanderplatz in Berlin, owned by FDM Management, where it plans to ultimately develop more than 70,000 m² in residential units, offices, hotels and retail premises.
This simplification process will enable Foncière des Régions to continue its hotel property development and support the growth of its hotel-operator partners.
