Our Value Creation Business
Quartiers focuses on acquiring underperforming projects with room for creating and unlocking value, turning them into profitable businesses. Value creation can be obtained by implementing adequate management, for instance, by targeting the right market segment for the product or by negotiating with expected changes in regulations which can increase the buildability rights and the renovation of the assets. Some projects are sold, while others are managed and let, which provides the company with cash flow and the opportunity to increase value when the property is either sold or revalued for refinancing on improved loan terms.
The company’s focus on investment properties aims to develop a stable base, with cash flow-generating and profitable properties, as well as to increase the value of the properties. The company’s primary focus in this segment is holiday apartments such as rental apartments and hotels. One of the reasons for this operational focus is the strength of the tourist industry in the Malaga region, as well as the fact that in times of financial uncertainty, the tourist industry has historically proven more stable than the rest of the Spanish economy.

Property description
Boho Club is Marbella’s new destination hotel, located less than four minutes’ walk from the beach in Marbella and within walking distance of the Puerto Banús luxury marina. The hotel and restaurant are positioned in the higher price segment in which the main competitors are currently Marbella Club, Puente Romano and Nobu Hotel. There is currently a lack of options in this price segment of the market, which together with increasing demand from an affluent target group enables both hotels and restaurants to take market share and achieve good margins within a short period of time. The property is unusual with regard to planning as Quartiers is awaiting a new local development plan with additional construction rights. For that reason, the majority stake in the operating company is important as it gives Quartiers the flexibility to fully leverage the property’s potential value in both the short and long term.
