EQ Group

EQ Group’s institutional quality discipline coupled with entrepreneurial, hands-on operational management enables EQ to identify and execute niche, high value-added real estate opportunities. The principals of EQ Group have each spent over 20 years working for blue chip investment banking houses, working with highly successful entrepreneurial family groups, building management platforms and teams of people within the hospitality industry, from start up to institutional level, investing both private and institutional capital across Europe, North America and Asia. They have spent their careers managing, underwriting, acquiring, developing and asset managing all types of hotels and serviced apartments ranging from 1 star budget and limited service to 5 star luxury and boutique properties. During their careers they have underwritten several billion dollars worth of hospitality transactions globally. The focus has always been to maximise the value of the operating real estate through renovations, development, repositioning, branding, operational improvements and strong financial controls. The EQ team is uniquely positioned to approach opportunities from an entrepreneurial perspective while always building organisations that meet the structural, corporate governance and reporting requirements of today’s institutional investor. EQ invests its own capital in all transactions and actively manages every asset. Alignment of interest for all participants – LP equity, GP equity, debt and management – is a key pillar of EQ’s strategic vision to deliver optimal returns.
