of Building

Aedartis is an active property management, real estate development and advisory company with a focus on the European hospitality and leisure sector.

What We Do

Aedartis offers its clients strategic and operational development and advisory services,

backed by in-depth experience, a culture of collaboration and integrity in order to maximise

the performance and value of their assets.

Project Development

We have a number of hospitality projects under way, some of which are owned, while others are based on third party agreements or pipeline projects. Being part of the development process, our team ensures that investments in future projects are properly analysed, understood and undertaken with minimal risk and optimal returns.

Our project development work ensures that:

    • The project development makes commercial sense.
    • The investment documents are produced to facilitate project financing.
    • Management or Lease Agreements are properly negotiated.
    • The owner is represented in all project meetings.
    • There is a constant focus on the budget and cost of decisions before executing.
    • The consultants are continuously assessed and comply with their scope of work.
    • Issues are identified in advance of occurring and, in an independent manner, consequences and resolutions are communicated to the owner.
As the hotel and leisure real estate assets enter the critical pre-opening period, we can provide dedicated support in managing the development leading up to the opening and management transition. At this stage we can provide:
    • Pre-opening program development.
    • Financial management with cash-flow visibility.
    • Construction team interface.
    • Licenses and government approval coordination.
    • Staff recruitment and on-boarding.
Our involvement in this process helps Owners by ensuring that:
    • The development meets the owners’ and guest expectations.
    • Departmental revenues are maximised to ensure strong opening performance.
    • Working capital requirement is assessed and monitored.
Our Asset Management service is about aligning the goals of the business between Operator and Owner. Our management can provide comprehensive advice throughout the investment lifecycle and understand operational performance and the implications of a trading cash flow on underlying asset security. With our clear advice on capital allocation, operations and risk management, our services are centered around your fundamental needs:
    • Enhancement of your relationship with Operators and Operational teams.
    • Ensure that operations are managed appropriately.
    • Communicate with operating teams to ensure consistency between your expectations and their actions.
    • Deliver consistent and transparent operational reporting and information.
    • Realise the full value of your businesses through a continuous process of value creation and enhancement.
