The Arjomand Group has made a strategic
investment in the Cachet Hotel Group (CHG).
An United Arab Emirates-based investment
management platform, the Arjomand Group has offices across Europe
and Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries.
Through its equity investment, the Arjomand
Group will receive a minority ownership interest in CHG and Farooq
Arjomand, Founding Chairman & CEO of the Arjomand Group, will be
appointed as a member of Cachet's Advisory Board.
Mr. Arjomand also serves as founding member of
Emaar Properties - one of the largest real estate development companies in
the UAE with more than US$20 billion of assets
and US$3.8 billion in revenue.
Mr. Arjomand is also Vice Chairman of DAMAC Real Estate Development
(DFMGI), a publically traded luxury residential, leisure and
commercial developer in Dubai and Middle East with more than
US$6.3 billion of assets and US$2.3 billion in revenue.
Arjomand Group's investment will support CHG's growth as
it scales its global operations and broadens Cachet's footprint in
Asia, the Americas and Middle East.
"Arjomand's
investment expertise combined with CHG's track record of branding
and operating lifestyle hotels will form a dynamic relationship,"
said Robert Roche , Chairman of Cachet Hotel Group. "We are
pleased to partner with Arjomand Group and look forward to working
on future opportunities that will enhance and strengthen this
ongoing partnership."
By joining forces, CHG and the
Arjomand Group will grow CHG's collection of hotel, restaurant and
nightlife brands in the United States and Middle East.
CHG currently has a robust pipeline of 29 new
hotels in development, comprised of 4,100 hotel keys and 1,008
branded residences, 2,100 of which are signed, under construction,
or have an executed letter of intent, scheduled to open through
2019.
"Cachet Hotel Group has become one of the fastest
growing hospitality management companies in Asia and
Americas," said Farooq Mahmood Arjomand. "We look forward to embarking on a mutually successful collaboration."
Recently,
CHG announced its expansion into the Americas with flagship
property Cachet Corazon in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
Owned and
developed by Cabo Villas Beach Resort and Spa, the highly
anticipated project will mark CHG's first resort destination.
