Tom Walsh, founder and CEO of Staycity Group<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Als new kid on the block vindt Yvie haar weg op Overhoeks door andere mensen in de omgeving te ontmoeten. Deze keer ontmoet ze Tom Walsh, medeoprichter en CEO van Staycity Group, de uitbater van de verlengd verblijfsappartementen op verdieping 3 tot en met 10 in de woontoren van Yvie.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Can you tell us more about Staycity?
<\/b>\u201cI founded Staycity in 2004 with my brother Ger. We saw potential for an extended and short-stay concept that gives the service of a hotel but the freedom of an apartment. We started with one aparthotel in Dublin, Ireland. Now, we have nearly 6,000 apartments in cities across Europe such as London, Edinburgh, Manchester, Paris and Berlin. 75% of our business is overseas and is still expanding. Our headquarters is still based in Dublin, with over a 100 people working there.<\/p>\n

In 2017 we started Wilde Aparthotels, a premium brand next to our core Staycity business. The concept is inspired by the famous Oscar Wilde, the great Irish playwright who was also known for his wit and sophistication. In the Wilde Aparthotels we have references and subtle nudges to this Irish heritage throughout.\u201d<\/p>\n

How did Staycity get involved in project Yvie?
<\/b>\u201cWe\u2019ve known Union Investment, the owner of Yvie, for a long time. We explored a couple of opportunities with them before Union Investment chose us to be the operator of the extended stay apartments in Yvie. We agreed upon collaboration in an early stage of the project. The construction of the building hadn\u2019t even started. This gave us the opportunity to configure it to our needs.<\/p>\n

Subsequently, during the negotiations about Yvie, Union Investment purchased another development in London. As this project was almost built already, we were able to open our first Wilde Aparthotel in London\u2019s Covent Garden in 2018. Since then we\u2019ve opened a further two Wilde properties in London \u2013 Aldgate and Paddington. So now we can use the experiences from here to do it even better in Amsterdam.\u201d<\/p>\n

What do you like about Overhoeks?
<\/b>\u201cWell, what\u2019s not to love about it? It has its own really beautiful vibe. A mixture of edgy and all this brand new stuff that\u2019s going on. That makes it a really fantastic place for us. We\u2019ve been doing business in Amsterdam since 2005. So I\u2019ve been to Amsterdam many, many times. I\u2019ve visited Overhoeks since 2007 and I\u2019ve been really pleasantly surprised at how it has evolved. It\u2019s a modern attachment to the old city. And I think that the ferry is an incredible connection. You might think it\u2019s a little bit odd to get off the train, then continue your public transport by ferry to the other side of the river and then do another five minutes walk. But it\u2019s actually an amazing experience. It adds to your day. I\u2019ve taken the ferry early morning, late afternoon and past midnight and at each time of the day it\u2019s a great experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>What can future visitors expect from Staycity?
<\/b>\u201cIn Yvie we will offer a mixture of studios, one bedroom apartments and linked rooms, 120 rooms in total. They will all be designed according to our Wilde Aparthotels concept. This means that our guests can expect a premium designer interior. But foremost, we are really fanatical about our guest experience. We aim to put a smile on our guests\u2019 faces and to make sure that when a guest asks us something, we say \u2018yes\u2019 as much as possible. I\u2019m proud to say that most of our guests leave with a very high opinion of Staycity thanks to our amazing operations colleagues.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>What makes Staycity different from other hotels?
<\/b>\u201cWe have a minimum stay of seven days up to 12 months, which is regulated by the city of Amsterdam. That sets us apart from other hotels. We are specifically targeting people who are on longer missions and who prefer to be in their own living space. Think about people who are in between houses for a short period of time. Or employees from big companies who are sent over to Amsterdam to work on a project for 2 or 3 weeks. Also, families like to stay in our linked rooms, especially with younger kids. Groups of friends prefer to stay in our single accommodation units because it\u2019s very sociable.\u201d<\/p>\n

What are you looking forward to most?
<\/b>\u201cThis will be our first Wilde Aparthotel in the Netherlands. So we are really excited about opening our doors in Amsterdam in May 2024. We will also provide concierge services, a coffee bar, a gym and a roof terrace for the future residential and office tenants of the Yvie complex.\u201d<\/p>\n
