Tsogo Sun is in talks to buy a significant stake in struggling real estate investment trust, Hospitality Property Fund in what could be the first step in its plan to list a property fund.
Hospitality Property Fund says HPF Properties has entered into a new sale agreement with Savana Property to acquire 100% of the Radisson Blu Gautrain hotel in Sandton for R443.385m.
The Rezidor Hotel Group, whose brands include Regent, Hotel Missoni, Radisson Blu and Park Inn, intends to ramp up its presence in South Africa and the rest of sub-Saharan Africa as part of its focus on high-growth emerging economies.
Radisson Blu is continuing to expand its global footprint with the opening of its first property in Maputo, Mozambique.
