Buyer sought for Residence Inn by Marriott Cambridge

Savills has been appointed by Pan Albion Group to sell the freehold site of the fully consented Residence Inn by Marriott Cambridge.

Located on 121-123 Chesterton Road, the development-ready site has a franchise agreement secured with Marriott International and a gross development value in excess of £50 million.

In January, full planning consent was granted to deliver the 134-bed aparthotel which will be arranged over four storeys and feature an open plan reception, lounge, restaurant and bar, gym and business centre. The development also includes a retail unit on the ground floor and aims to achieve high sustainability targets, including a BREEAM ‘Excellent’ certification.

What they said

Richard Dawes, director, Savills Hotel Capital Markets said: “We are delighted to introduce this best-in-class and rarely available freehold development to the market. Cambridge has a high performing economy, a thriving hotel sector and a recognised shortage of branded extended stay rooms.”

Charlotte King, Savills Hotel Capital Markets added: “This high-quality centrally located site is ideal for an aparthotel such as Residence Inn by Marriott, which will be able to drive market-leading returns in operation through a combination of the above average RevPAR and high margin operational model associated with a brand-new extended stay product.”
