- €75 million strategic investment from Cheyne Strategic Value Credit prepares the business to scale further in 2026
- Record 3,500 units signed in 2025 despite challenging market
- Strong operating performance and deepened real estate partnerships drive momentum in Iberia and DACH
Limehome, Europe’s leading tech-enabled operator of functional design apartments, closes a record year with more than 3,500 units signed across Europe in 2025, surpassing 12,500 units live and under contract. The company expanded its presence across major gateway cities including Paris, London, Brussels, Barcelona, Lisbon, Athens, Berlin, and Munich, while deepening its footprint in core clusters in Iberia, DACH, and the Benelux region.
To support its next growth phase, Limehome secured a €75 million strategic investment from Cheyne Strategic Value Credit, reinforcing the company’s financial foundation and enabling continued expansion in Europe’s most competitive and attractive hospitality markets.
2025 highlights: Strong operating performance and European scale-up
Limehome delivered another year of robust performance, underlining the resilience and efficiency of its centralized, technology-enabled operating model. Gross Operating Profit remained consistently above 60%, with occupancy and RevPAR outperforming market benchmarks across key regions. This strong operational leverage continues to attract institutional real estate partners seeking reliable, long-term operators in a volatile market.
Key drivers of Limehome’s 2025 momentum included:
- More than 1,000 new units signed in Iberia, forming a major share of the 3,500 units added to the European pipeline
- Sustained operational outperformance despite industry-wide cost inflation surpassing Average Daily Rate growth in the broader market
- Deepening institutional partnerships in DACH and Benelux with leading investors such as Baltisse and Deka Immobilien
