Exit Mountain Lodge & Staff Housing
Executive Summary & Opportunity
The Village Lech GmbH & Co. KG delivers an ultra-luxury hospitality and real estate platform in Lech am Arlberg—capitalizing on limited supply, restrictive zoning, and strong year-round demand.
Dual-Property Concept
Repositioning of two complementary assets under a global ultra-luxury brand: The Mountain Lodge (new-build, Oberlech) & The River Lodge (repositioning, Lech Village). Together they form a seamless Owners' Club with cross-property amenities.
Operational Edge
Long-lease or ownership of staff housing secures reliable labour and enhances employer appeal.
Capital Recycling
A branded suite investment model for River Lodge suites monetizes individual units, freeing capital, reducing equity needs, and improving investor returns (MOIC, IRR).
Target Audience
Family offices, UHNWIs, and entrepreneurial families seeking stable income and value-add potential in a trophy alpine destination.
Market & Brand-Positioning
Premium Alpine Context
Lech ranks among Europe's top-tier resorts—on par with Courchevel, St. Moritz and Gstaad—combining world-class skiing, limited supply, and year-round appeal.
Superior Accessibility
Excellent links via Innsbruck, Zurich, and Munich airports; private airstrips and 25–40 min helicopter transfers.
Global Brand Leverage
Drives stronger performance through ADR uplift, greater pricing power, and higher occupancy via global distribution—enhancing visibility among international HNW clients and supporting superior exit yields post-stabilization.

Exit Strategy
Two-Phase Capital Realization
Phase 1 (Years 1–3)
Sale of subdivided River Lodge suites at ~3.25% yield generates profit and recycles ≈ 30% of portfolio value, reducing equity needs and boosting returns.
Phase 2 (Years 5–7)
Institutional exit via sale of Mountain Lodge + staff housing at 4.5–5.5% yield—delivering a core-plus luxury hospitality asset under a leading global brand.
Base Case – Projected Investor Return
~12% IRR | 1,65x MOIC (based on Year 3 of Operation)
Partial freehold unit sale (~3,3% yield) · Institutional core sale (~4,5%–6% yield)
Alternative Case – Long-Term Hold Strategy
Alternative stabilised income-focused strategy. Equity materially reduced post River Lodge sale.
Stabilised Return Profile: ~18% recurring annual cash-on-cash return
