Investment and development consulting
Drees & Sommer takes a holistic approach to consulting when supporting investors and developers with the realization of their hotel projects. The hospitality team supports projects from the very beginning, with services including validation of hotel locations, valuation of hotel properties, selection of operators complete with lease/rental and management contract negotiations, and construction consulting and planning.
How relevant is investment and development consulting to you?
- Does your company invest in hotel buildings and rely on external consultants for location or concept assessment, hotel valuation, or profitability analysis?
- Do you need due diligence to make an informed purchase decision?
- Do you require a hotel property valuation by an independent expert prior to sale or purchase?
- Does your hotel need a performance check, repositioning or modernization to remain competitive?
- Do you need cost, schedule and quality certainty for your hotel project?
- Does your company require a reliable partner for 360° hospitality, real estate and technical consulting to support its European expansion strategy?
- Are you looking for specific solutions for modern hotels that are future-oriented, sustainable and smart?
We conduct a joint workshop to define the customer’s goals and expectations, develop specific service modules, and establish a timeline for the implementation of the defined measures. Our project teams always consider all technical, operational and market-specific aspects in their considerations.
