SINGAPORE, June 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Singapore based private equity real estate firm, Prima Asset Management announces the strategic acquisition of an ultra-rare freehold hotel in one of London’s most attractive sub-markets.

In partnership with Capilon Group, a specialised London based hotel operator and developer, and financed by OakNorth Bank, the newly acquired hotel is set to undergo an extensive refurbishment, transforming it into a landmark destination boutique upper upscale hotel. As part of the refurbishment, the hotel will undergo an exciting enhancement, increasing its key count from 68 rooms to over 80 rooms, which will have an end value of circa S$70m.

Preserving the building’s original Georgian architecture, design will focus on retaining and celebrating its unique architectural features whilst placing a high level of importance on the conservation of London’s “Arts & Cultural Hub”, the hotel will be positioned to offer a truly authentic neighbourhood experience in one of the city’s most desired locations.

“With our proven track record in identifying and structuring unique risk-adjusted real estate investment opportunities, the strategic acquisition of this prime property not only signifies our focus on the resilient London hotel market but also positions us in one of London’s most attractive growing sub-markets,” says Ben Hall, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Prima Asset Management.
