The
Ascott Limited (Ascott) continues to grow its presence in China after
securing contracts to manage two new serviced residences in Wuxi –
Ascott Central Wuxi (pictured) and Somerset Wuxi — both expected to open in 2015.
The 134-unit Ascott Central Wuxi will cater to business executives while the 169-unit Somerset Wuxi is ideal for families.
Both
developments comprise spacious apartments ranging from studios to
three-bedders. All units come with a fully-equipped kitchen and separate
work and living areas. Facilities include a gym, business centre,
meeting rooms and breakfast lounge.
Lee Chee Koon, Deputy CEO and
Managing Director for North Asia at Ascott, said: “As China continues
to attract strong foreign direct investment, it is expected to enjoy
healthy demand for quality accommodation. Revenue per available unit for
our serviced residences in China increased by four percent in Q1 2013
compared to the same period last year.”
“Besides Ascott Central
Wuxi and Somerset Wuxi, we will open 19 more serviced residences in
China by 2017. By strengthening our network in China, we can achieve
greater economies of scale and reinforce Ascott’s leadership position.”
