Strategic Hospitality & Real Estate Advisory Across EMEA
Services
Feasibility & Market Studies
Rigorous, data-driven analysis to assess market potential, guide concept development, and identify the positioning that will maximize long-term cash flow. We support investment decisions with clear, actionable insights — helping you define the most financially viable and strategically aligned concept for your project.
Investment &
Development Analysis
We provide detailed, cashflow-driven investment analysis tailored to complex hospitality and real estate projects. Our work considers the full development timeline, segmented and phased cost structures, construction financing, refinancing strategies, mortgage servicing, and return modeling. We assess IRR targets for both General and Limited Partners and model equity waterfalls to ensure clear visibility on profit distribution and capital efficiency throughout the project lifecycle.
Buy-Side & Sell-Side Advisory
Comprehensive support across all stages of hotel and real estate transactions — from initial evaluation and due diligence to deal structuring and execution. We advise both buyers and sellers, helping assess opportunities, mitigate risks, and optimize value throughout the investment or divestment process
Capital Raising & Investor Outreach
We support clients in identifying and engaging with suitable capital partners — from institutional investors to private equity and family offices. Leveraging our extensive network across EMEA, we help connect projects with strategic equity and debt sources, aligning the capital structure with the project’s scale, risk profile, and long-term goals.
Operator Search & Contract Negotiation
Identification and negotiation with hotel operators to secure the right partner for your asset, aligned with your commercial goals.
Strategic Partnerships & Ecosystem Development
Beyond introductions, we actively support companies in forming and structuring strategic partnerships to enable growth, repositioning, or market entry. Whether your business is expanding, pivoting, or seeking to strengthen its market position, we help identify the right collaborators — from lenders and operators to architects, ESG advisors, and brand partners — and we can step in as a strategic advisor or partner where deeper involvement is required.

Gokstad
The Gokstad ship is a masterpiece of Viking engineering—sleek, resilient, and built for both speed and endurance. Crafted from oak and clinker-built with overlapping planks, it was designed to cut through open seas and glide through narrow fjords with equal grace.
More than a vessel, the Gokstad symbolizes exploration, adaptability, and strategic reach. It carried not just warriors, but the spirit of connection—linking cultures, forging alliances, and navigating the unknown with purpose and precision.
