The first brick is one of the last decisions a hotel should make.

We help owners get the questions right before the answers get expensive. What to build, who should run it, and whether the numbers hold.

Most hotel projects are decided in the wrong order. The building is designed, then a brand is sought to fit it, then someone asks whether the math works. By then the expensive mistakes are already poured in concrete.

We work the other way. Start with the market and the money. Decide what the asset should be, who should operate it, and what return structure makes sense, before the first brick. The drawings come after the decisions, not instead of them.

Four sub-services

Architecture under design, drawings and structure

Concept & Planning

What should this asset be?

We define the positioning, the segment, the room count, and the operating concept before design begins, so the building serves the business, not the other way around.

Feasibility

Will it work?

Bottom-up financial models built on real market data and real comp sets, with operating assumptions we'd stake our own name on. No optimism baked in.

Operator Search & Negotiation

Who should run it?

We run the operator search, structure the brief, and negotiate the management agreement. For the owner's interests, not the operator's.

Transaction Advisory

Should you buy, sell, or hold?

Buy-side and sell-side advisory for hospitality assets, with the underwriting discipline of people who have actually operated hotels.

We will tell you when a project shouldn't happen.

That's the most valuable thing an advisor can say, and the rarest.
