Estimate future development
Management believes the property will continue successful operations under the current management and Sunborn London Oyj’s financial performance and debt service capacity to remain stable.
The new Elizabeth line cross rail link is a major improvement in public transport connections for the hotel, with travel times to central London in circa 15 minutes and to London Heathrow airport in 45 minutes. Management expects the Elizabeth Line to increase area hotel room demand and ADR development. In addition, the commencement of Silvertown development is expected to add 6,000 units in housing and 180,000 sqm of working and public space positively contributing to the Royal Docks area.
Short-term risks and uncertainties
Continued UK inflationary pressure in cost of materials and labour, consequently requiring faster than expected price development for sales and short-term fluctuations in profit margins as the business adapts to volatile market conditions.
