THE CLIENT

Sustainable Real Estate Entrepreneur

Stella Klose is a Columbian born social entrepreneur active in the real estate, wellness and hospitality sectors in South-America and the Caribbean, where she has developed and leased several spas and boutique hotels with flagship sustainable and eco-friendly operations.

Stella came to us with the request to help her write & design an Investor Presentation to include all the typically relevant slides for a redevelopment project, as well as a graphic design and color scheme in line with the branding and image of the new sustainable boutique hotel.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

SCOPE:  The first part of the project was to understand the requirements for the presentation and the type of audience it will be presented to.

Next, we gathered all the necessary data to create a sustainable luxury boutique hotel real estate redevelopment investor presentation that included an Executive Summary, Investment Highlights, Property Overview, Economics & Terms as well as a Development Overview with Location, Plans, Budget, Timeline and Management & Branding Section. In addition, the Investor Presentation included an overview of the Market Position & Strategy and Detailed Financials and Appendixes.

This is what Stella had to say after working with us:

” The team at StartupHQ created a fabulous Investor Presentation with all the relevant information a potential real estate investor would require to understand the project and the expected risks & returns. We were extremely pleased with the responsiveness, timeframe of delivering the final presentation, revisions following our feedback, and the excellent communication we had. Will definitely hire the team at StartupHQ again for our next projects and we wholeheartedly recommend your services to our business partners and collaborators.”

Q & A With Stella Klose of BWG

We were contacted by Stella to discuss the possibility of creating a real estate redevelopment Investor Presentation that would serve as a negotiation base for interested investors in the new sustainable boutique hotel being developed in the Caribbean island of St. Lucia.

StartupHQ: Why did you need an Investor Presentation?

We found a very attractive investment opportunity on the island of St. Lucia and together with my business partners, decided to acquire the hotel in the first phase, and develop a new sustainable boutique hotel concept and rebuild and redesign the premises to expand the number of rooms and upgrade the interiors and wellness center.

We needed an Investor Presentation to present the project and expansion opportunity to potential investors and raise funds to carry out the redevelopment plans and operations.

StartupHQ: What was the most challenging part of this project?

Stella: As with any complex project, things turn out to be more expensive and take longer than expected. But we are used with that state of affairs and typically include contingency measures to cover extra costs and delays. My advice to any aspiring real estate entrepreneur is to include a significant cash flow buffer to allow for these unforeseen events and expect the timeline to get extended several times.

StartupHQ: Why did you ultimately decide to work with StartupHQ?

Stella: A friend who knew that I was looking to fundraise recommended me to check out StartupHQ for writing & designing the Investor Presentation. I was very pleased with what I saw and after having the discovery call I decided to hire StartupHQ for writing & designing the Investor Presentation.

Hotels play a vital role in sustainable tourism

Hotels play a vital role in the economy of the caribbean islands. In synergy with other tourism service providers, hotels create virtually all existing jobs in these small local economies. Hotels help create a social-economic safety net for the livelihoods of the people in the local community.

Sustainable and ethical hotel development practices that account for the culture and local values of the communities are essential for long -term preservation of natural habitats and cultural inheritance.

Sustainable and ethical hotels also provide an opportunity to educate and direct the choices of conscious travelers worldwide who want to feel good during their holidays while also helping with poverty reduction, pollution prevention, and the preservation of local traditions and culture.
