This figure demonstrates a robust growth trajectory, reflecting an increase of 94% for the equivalent period in 2022. The group recently secured €67m equity from Prima Europe Fund, managed by Stag Asset Managers for its expansion. The group aims to multiply its turnover sixfold by 2028, expanding to 6,000 apartments over eight European countries, cementing itself as the leading premium hospitality group on the continent.

Currently operating in Lisbon, Porto, and Istanbul, and soon-to-be in Madrid, the branded- property arm of Ando Living Group, Ando Living, is a collection of 700 serviced apartments and clubhouses that allow discerning guests to live like locals. Combining premium serviced apartments in prime locations with facilities such as dining, bars, gyms, pools, and personalized assistance services; the Ando Living offering is set up to foster a vibrant neighborhood atmosphere and elevate the local experience for guests.

LovelyStay is a property management company and booking platform specialized in managing rental properties for short and medium term stays. Despite being founded less than ten years ago, LovelyStay has since emerged as Portugal's largest private rental property manager with a portfolio of over 1400 units worth more than €600M under exclusive management.

"We are thrilled with the exceptional performance achieved in 2023. As we set our sights on our 2028 goal of multiplying our turnover sixfold, we remain committed to delivering unparalleled experiences for our guests while expanding our presence into new markets across Europe,” says William Tonnard, President & COO of Ando Living Group. “We will focus on the international expansion of our branded Ando Living apartments, which we find generates double the revenue of non-branded properties. Supported by serviced apartment industry’s projected growth of 65% with $49Bn by 2029, the service apartments market is expected to be the fastest growing market in hospitality".

Ando Living currently operates nine properties in Portugal and one in Türkiye for a total of 112 units. Summer 2024 will see the opening of one House in Madrid with eight apartments bringing the total number of units managed to 120 with a further 556 under development. Over the next five years, the brand will open properties in new European markets including the UK, France, Italy, Greece, and Germany, dominating this key market segment where there is currently no forerunning brand.
