Case: Waftly Towers property rehabilitation
“Melbury investments has recently acquired the Waftly Towers property at 16 Elwood Avenue, Torquay. An existing hotel, the property is currently in poor state of repair and due to poor management has an attained a reputation for poor service, both within the local community and with its guests. Waftly Towers is Melbury Investment’s first hotel acquisition and the property is to become the flagship in a chain of Melbury Hotels that Melbury plans on developing over the next five years. Melbury Hotels are to be positioned towards the upper end of the hotel market and marketed as medium sized hotels in which personal service is a central theme.
As a first step in that longer term strategy the Waftly Towers rehabilitation project will be undertaken in order to rehabilitate and reopen the property using the Melbury Hotel brand. As well as returning the Waftly Towers property to profitability, the Waftly Towers rehabilitation project will provide a platform for the subsequent launch of the Melbury Hotel chain”.

In line with achieving Melbury’s business objectives, the Waftly Towers property is to be rehabilitated.
