According to the group, the property comprises a 104-room boutique hotel, with spa and gym facilities, as well as two retail units. The property is located at the entrance of the Princesshay Shopping Centre, and is close to the commercial district, major transport nodes and attractions.

Upon completion, the acquisition is expected to be accretive on stabilisation, reads the release.

Vincent Yeo, CEO of CDLHT’s managers, says: “We are delighted to acquire a high-quality asset with brand new interiors in the best location in the heart of Exeter. This is a continuation of our strategy to pursue accretive acquisitions that augment our income streams. This acquisition also increases our exposure to the burgeoning lifestyle hotel market.”

He adds: “We believe our stapled security holders will benefit from this opportune acquisition, especially at a point when the interest rate cycle is expected to turn.”

Shares in CDLHT closed 0.5 cents higher, or up 0.51%, at 98 cents on Oct 15.
