Israeli tycoon Amir Dayan has the majority stake in several businesses, including Vivion, a real estate firm based in Luxembourg, and Lianeo Real Estate, a property management company.
Vivion recently bought the St. Martins Lane and Sanderson hotels in London from the family of Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim Al Thani, the former Prime Minister of Qatar, in a deal valued at $333M (255M pounds). According to sources, the acquisition was done thanks to the close friendship between Amir Dayan and Sheikh Hamad, even though other companies offered more money for the hotels.
Following the purchase of the Sanderson Hotel in London, Amir Dayan אמיר דיין has planned massive renovations. The renovations aim at making the Sanderson the number one lifestyle hotel in London and includes adding luxury restaurants and a member-only club in the hotel.
Another company owned by Amir Dayan, Lianeo Real Estate, has recorded a significant increase in both new rentals and extensions of existing contracts in 2020 compared with 2019, despite headwinds from the pandemic and the drastic measures implemented at all levels to curb the spread of the virus.
An increase of 13% in terms of new rentals and extensions is a very good result in view of the challenging market environment. Lianeo has also stated that its goal is to achieve similar results for its clients in 2021.
In one of these deals, Lianeo has managed to negotiate an extension to an existing lease agreement with the Hanover-based State Office for Geoinformation and Land Surveying by 15 years. This lease is for 13,500 square meters of an office building in Hanover, the capital of Lower Saxony.
Amir Dayan (אמיר דיין), an Israeli native, was born into a large entrepreneurial family of 12 siblings. Since 2005, the Israeli investor has been active in the European hotel industry and specializes in the acquisition and development of commercial real estate. The billionaire tycoon property investments are primarily located in the Netherlands, UK, and Germany.
