Hospitality Investors Shape Strategy in Crowded European Markets
Accessibility
In Hospitality Investor, John Calvao, Fund Principal, speaks about Arrow Global’s approach to sustainable hospitality investment for an article titled “Hospitality Investors Shape Strategy in Crowded European Markets.” In the piece, he highlights Arrow’s focus on benefiting local communities by employing local teams, repurposing small hotels into affordable housing for employees, and introducing eco-friendly measures like solar power, water conservation, and wastewater recycling. Arrow’s projects aim to provide year-round amenities, mitigating the effects of seasonality, such as marinas, equestrian centres and golf courses, which add long-term value for both investors and local communities.
The article also covers similar strategies, such as adapting unused spaces to ease housing pressures and support local economies. In cities like Amsterdam and Barcelona, where hotel development faces new restrictions, these sustainable models are anticipated to enhance property values as availability becomes limited, marking a broader trend toward viewing hospitality as essential urban infrastructure.
