Heeton Capital taps Astra Horizon, NineCo to buy UK aparthotel

The group aims to expand its investment portfolio and build revenue streams.

Heeton Capital, a Heeton Holdings subsidiary, has entered a joint venture with Astra Horizon Venture and NineCo Investments to acquire an 82-key aparthotel in Edinburgh, UK.

The joint venture, QS Edinburgh, was established to own the property, with funding sourced from equity contributions and loans provided by the joint venture partners.

Heeton Capital will hold an 85% stake in QS Edinburgh, whilst Astra and NineCo will own 10% and 5%, respectively.

The partners will provide shareholders’ loans totalling $43m to the joint venture company, aligned with their respective shareholdings. Heeton Capital's portion of the subscription amount and loan is anticipated to be $36.5m, approximately 8.7% of the group's audited tangible assets as of 31 December 2023.

Heeton Capital views the venture as an opportunity to develop sustainable revenue streams, expand its investment portfolio, and leverage the expertise and networks of its partners.

Additionally, the group plans to provide hotel management services to QS Edinburgh or its subsidiaries upon completion of the transaction.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
