Who Are we?
Through Blue Ocean Developments; we are lead developers of bespoke luxury hotel and branded residences projects around the world.
For select large urban developments & master planning schemes, we act on either an advisory or on a co-development basis. As real estate is a very local business, we partner with local developers with demonstrated values & principles, and proven track records. People with long lasting; deep- rooted positive business relationships within their communities.
Through our venture in FoodTech, we work with senior & accomplished co-founders aiming to move the needle in that promising space.
Structured around private equity co-investment opportunities, we work with reputed partners providing our stakeholders with focused industry expertise, and access to a global network of valuable relationships with recognized first-class international players.
We pride ourselves for taking an unwavering responsibility to both the environment and the people in our business. We believe that business impacts and serves more than just shareholders; it has an equal responsibility to the community and to the planet.
In a nutshell, true partnership is at the core of who we are. Finding synergies. Building bridges. Merging interests. Enabling our partners (and all our ecosystem of investors and associates) to create blue oceans for themselves; oceans of un-imagined & untapped value. And then, going places no one dares to go. Leaping way beyond IRR by injecting passion, by infusing talent.
BLUE OCEAN DEVELOPMENTS
Blue Ocean Developments executes mixed-use projects that typically include upscale hotels; branded & hotel serviced residences and that are anchored by lifestyle F&B or wellness facilities. We leverage our expertise and relationships with leading hospitality operators, designers and builders as to optimize stakeholders return.
FOODTECH
With our co-founders, we want to make world-class cuisine accessible to all. As a digital disruption has boosted the food service industry, it is mostly benefiting fast food and quick service players, leaving higher-end restaurateurs behind. Cloud kitchens, food aggregators (Deliveroo), digital marketing powerhouses (Instagram) and last mile delivery actors have collectively acted as a powerful catalyst to this revolution. However, our primary research showed that the chefs and customers who are seeking a top qualitative culinary experience are largely unsatisfied with current digital platforms. Our promise is to make aspirational gastronomy accessible to all, by steering the current digital disruption from the mantra of pure convenience to pleasurable food discovery experiences.
