Discover how CBRE's adaptive reuse strategy can transform underutilised buildings into vibrant hotels, unlocking new opportunities for landlords and investors.
As a result of the pandemic-induced shift towards hybrid and remote work, many office landlords are struggling with high vacancy rates and reletting vacant spaces. This is especially true for older, B category assets. As a solution for underperforming assets, adaptive reuse - i.e. converting the building into a hotel - might be the right approach. Capitalising on the wide experience of the hotel experts based in the CEE region, CBRE can help landlords find the right assets suitable for conversion.To analyse the viability of an adaptive reuse project, the CBRE Hotels team conducts detailed feasibility studies which are vital for the decision-making process of our Clients. In addition, a feasibility study confirming the possibility of a hotel conversion can help the sale process of vacant/low-WAULT office buildings by increasing interest and widening the buyer pool.
CBRE estimates the achievable total room capacity, identifies the right positioning, analyses the cost & revenue implications and helps investors to understand the key differences between hotel leases, and management and franchise agreements.
The study can also be an essential part for any Operator Selection as it shows to the operators that the project viability has been checked and, consequently, they commit more to the process.
