Staycity has announced that it has taken over the lease of Edyn’s aparthotel Kingsland Locke in Dalston, East London.
The property, owned by real estate investment firm Aprirose, will transfer to Staycity’s operation on 27 January 2025, rebranding under the Staycity Aparthotels name.
Staycity plans to extend the property to 181 studios and one-bed apartments by the end of 2028.
Guest facilities currently include a gym, co-working area, café bar and event space as well as an on-site microbrewery and gin distillery.
Andrew Fowler, Staycity Group’s chief development officer, said: “The availability of this lease was a fantastic opportunity for Staycity to strengthen its brand in the capital in an area that’s become one of London’s coolest destinations. The acquisition marks a renewed focus and expansion of the Staycity Aparthotels brand as it undergoes a repositioning over the next 18 months.”
In 2025 Staycity will open aparthotels in Amsterdam, Cambridge as well as moving into Portugal with its lifestyle Wilde brand opening in Lisbon and Porto.
Staycity Group has recently accelerated its European expansion plans which will take it from its current 5,800 operational keys to 20,000 by 2032.
