EXTENDAM seizes an investment opportunity in Spain

 EXTENDAM takes over the construction of a new 230-room economy hotel in Spain on a unique location in the hypercentre of Madrid. This operation is the result of an opportunity that arose during the lock down that EXTENDAM has been able to realise under interesting conditions with one of the main hotel operators in Spain: Continuum Hospitality Group. Construction work will start again in November 2020 and the hotel should open after the health crisis, at the end of 2022.
Jean-Marc Palhon, President of EXTENDAM, explains: “Spain is the 2nd most visited country in the world after France, ahead of the United States. It is one of the European territories where it is still possible to develop new hotel projects with confidence because of its real market depth. Real estate reserves are certainly constrained there, but much less than in France, Great Britain, Germany or Italy, thus creating the right conditions for the development of new construction or refurbishment projects. These conditions are also amplified by specific Spanish factors, especially economic ones, favorable to investment in the hotel sector, as attendance and investment constants that should keep on going after the health crisis, when the hotel will open in two years’ time“.

[BONI.D] M. Moustache: a new life for our shoes

A French consumer wears an average of 6 pairs of shoes per year and 95% of them will end up in the trash without being recycled. A French brand, M. Moustache is well decided to change the shoe industry. To achieve, the enterprise focuses on two main objectives: transform the manufacturing process by using recycled shoe materials and educate consumers by inviting them to drop off their old pairs in a wide range of shops. A year ago, M. Moustache created his own sole  from used shoes and called it [re]colt. With its 5 shops and more than 250 retailers, the sustainable brand founded in 2012 by Guillaume Alcan, Thibault Repelin and Antoine Vigneron, has already come a long way, and we wish they will not stop. Congratulations M.Moustache!

Investment opportunities in the hotel industry in times of crisis

While Asian and American customers will not come back in Europe for several months, even several years, while travel remains limited by health restrictions and remote work often remains the norm, the cards are being reshuffled between players in the tourism market. First to rebound, the economic business hotel sector is once again proving its resilience.
Jean-Marc Palhon, Chairman of EXTENDAM explains: “Two or even three-star hotels, between 50 and 120 euros per night, have quickly seen executives and sales agents compelled to go back to work. More than 80% of this clients is domestic customers. They are actually less dependent on international and tourism customers, the economic category of business hotel industry offers an interesting resilience in the context we know”.
In full development before the health crisis, the sector has seen its transformation amplified. Changes in customer behaviours and new trends are leading the sector to diversify both geographically and functionally. As a key player in the city, the hotel is opening up to new uses.

[BONI.D] Coiffeurs Justes : hair, bio-sourced materials with unsuspected properties

Did you know the Amoco Cadiz sank off the coast of Brittany (1978) or the bulk carrier Wakashio off the coast of Mauritius (2020), hair was used to absorb some of the oil spilt in the waters ?

Insulating, resistant, fertilising, biosorbent, cut hair has many interesting properties. It is a waste produced in increasing quantities and which is currently largely unexploited.

Founded in 2015, Coiffeurs Justes is an association from the Var region in France.  Its ambition :  recover and recycle this organic material by uniting professionals and rising awareness of this sustainable practice among them. Thanks to a simple bag, the association helps hair collection, storage and transportation to structures where it can be processed. Fertilizers, oil filters, thermal and phonic insulators… uses are numerous and promising ! Coiffeurs Justes, a project to explore here
