Partner with us
You have the site. We have the brands, the team and twelve years of doing this.
We work with landowners, building owners and investors to develop and operate hotels under Trunk & Trolley and Casa. Three ways to do it, one standard of reporting.
Three ways to partner
Pick the structure that fits what you own.
For landowners
Build-to-suit lease
You hold the land. We design the hotel, you build to our specification, and we sign a long lease with fixed rent and a revenue share above a threshold. Typical size: 40 to 80 keys on 1,200 to 2,500 sq yd.
For building owners
Conversion and management
An under-used commercial or residential building in the right district. We convert it to a Casa or Trunk & Trolley and operate it under a management contract or lease. Two of our seven properties began this way.
For investors
Co-investment
Invest alongside the group in a specific property or the expansion into Bangalore and Goa. We co-invest in every deal we bring to partners, and report monthly at property level.
Why partners choose us
We have never operated a hotel we did not also have money in.
That changes how we choose a site, how carefully we build and how hard we work the P&L. Partners get the same discipline we apply to our own capital.
