Pandox AB (publ) signs lease agreements for Hotel BLOOM! and Hotel Berlaymont in Brussels with NH Hotel Group
Pandox has signed twenty-year revenue-based lease agreements with guaranteed minimum rent for Hotel BLOOM! and Hotel Berlaymont in Brussels with NH Hotel Group. The lease agreements will take effect on 1 February 2018 and the hotel properties will then be reclassified from Operator Activities to Property Management.
“We are very pleased to sign two new lease agreements with NH Hotel Group, which is a well-renowned and skillful international hotel operator and a strong business partner. The hotel market in Brussels has historically been dominated by management agreements and these lease agreements are therefore breaking new ground. The lease agreements are competitive and demonstrate that Pandox, by being active across the value-chain, creates tangible value for the company and its shareholders.”, says Martin Creydt, Senior Vice President, Property Management International at Pandox.
The lease agreements with NH Hotel Group imply shared investments, lower risk and a lower yield requirement for the newly leased hotel properties. The outlook for growth in rental income and net operating profit are good.
Hotel Berlaymont was acquired in May 2017. It is a full-service hotel with 214 rooms and a competitive meeting product with a strong location close to the European Commission, and good communications to the city and airport in Brussels.
