Hotel Investment Market EMEA: Transaction volume to increase in 2010
04.02.2010
According to Jones Lang LaSalle Hotels the hotel investment volume in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) fell to €2.9 billion in 2009, reflecting the lowest volume of transactions since the late 1990s and a drop of 63% compared to 2008. While 2010 is expected to remain challenging, by the year-end investment volumes could increase by almost 40% on the 2009 volume and reach €4.1 billion, driven by improving economic conditions, gradually strengthening investor confidence and an increase in stock on the market.
Mark Wynne-Smith, CEO, Jones Lang LaSalle Hotels, EMEA, said: “The EMEA hotel market will continue to be difficult in 2010, albeit with some important signs of improvement. Transaction activity will be characterised by two types of investors, opportunistic buyers and secure income buyers. The former will be most apparent in the markets most severely impacted during 2009, including the UK, Spain and Ireland. The latter group will mainly constitute institutional investors, searching for properties with a solid income and sound covenants.” Marina Usenko, Head of the Russian office, Jones Lang LaSalle Hotels, said: “While Russia and the CIS territory continue to be perceived as less secure than any of the Western European markets, opportunist investors currently have a rare chance to enter the Moscow and St. Petersburg markets, formerly viewed as too expensive or difficult to access. Regardless of the current economic conditions, these two markets will continue to be attractive for hotel business in the medium- and long-term.”
