ASK co-lends £23m with OakNorth for new site for Z Hotels

ASK and OakNorth have provided a £23m co-loan to Z Hotels, secured against a vacant office block on Charing Cross Road.

The company, well known for its ‘compact luxury’ accommodation model, will use the facility for the acquisition and refurbishment of  the building, which subject to planning, will be converted into Z Hotels’ 15th site with a minimum of 81 rooms and a maximum of 95.

Daniel Austin, CEO and Co-founder of ASK said,

"As always it was a pleasure to work with the team at OakNorth and to lend to Z Hotels again. This is an exceptionally well-located site which fits Z Hotels’ target market perfectly, capitalising on the growth we’re seeing in single business travellers during the week and short stay tourists at weekends. Given Z Hotels’ track record as a successful owner operator of five other hotels within close proximity of this site all with high year-round occupancy levels, ASK was fully supportive of the project and happy to provide a 36-month loan to acquire this building, which I anticipate will be another well-designed and popular hotel for the group."
