Rediscovering, Reimagining, Revaluing Heritage property

Oberland is Growing
With significant financial backing, we are looking to acquire properties for refurbishment, purchase buildings suitable for conversion and procure development sites in strong or emerging city locations.
Property Attributes
We are seeking existing hotels suitable for rebranding, buildings in alternative use (office, student, PRS, hostel, etc) suitable for conversion, or sites with planning permission for hotel or an alternative use with a firm prospect for change of use.
Strategy & Tenure
We are ultimately real estate investors and prefer freehold opportunities, and are open to joint venture partnerships or long leasehold or equivalent, but we will give consideration to other arrangements such as lease and associated rental in certain circumstances.
Size Requirements
We are targeting hotels with existing bedroom count of at least 75 bedrooms, existing buildings, in alternative use, with a minimum GIA of 2000 SqM, or sites consented, or with the firm prospect of being consented for at least this same size, but preferably larger.
Locations Specifications
Our focus over the next 3-5 years is on major capital and touristic cities in Europe such as London, Edinburgh, Paris and Milan. We also consider strong, emerging touristic locations including but not limited to Athens, Copenhagen, Lisbon, Porto, Rome, Stockholm and Vienna.
