Pierre & Vacances/Center Parcs and Lamy (Nexity group) have signed an agreement to purchase
from Lamy : -50% of Citéa, mandated administrator of 49 2* Urban Tourism Residences on behalf
of Pierre & Vacances, Lamy and other interests. Which will bring the participation of Pierre &
Vacances/Center Parcs in Citéa to 100% - the branch of activity operating the 31 Urban Tourism
Residences (3193 apartments) managed by Citéa.
Secondly, the Pierre & Vacances/Center Parcs Group will cede 100% of Citéa to Adagio. By the
end of this operation, Adagio will manage 84 Urban Tourism Residences.
Adagio’s strategy
In 2007, the Pierre & Vacances/Center Parcs and Accor Group established a joint venture shared
50/50 to administrate the management and development of a European network of Urban Tourism
Residences. Today, Adagio has 35 residences located in France, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Italy
and Switzerland, with a total of 4460 apartments generating a business volume of around 100
million Euros.
The evolution of society tendencies and of the expectations of the business and leisure clientele
has consolidated the success of the urban residence for medium and long-term periods.
As a result of the acquisition of Citéa, which is to be finalised at the end of June 2011, Adagio will
become the European market leader in Urban Tourism Residences, with almost 10,000 apartments
The Adagio brand will cover all of the Adagio and Citéa residences, but a label will differentiate the
Citéa residences in order to respond to the economical market brought about by the location and
the price positioning.
Adagio’s development plan consolidated with Citéa is principally focused in Europe (France,
Germany, UK), as well as Russia and the Middle East.
By 2015, Adagio will manage almost 130 residences and have a business volume of 330 million
Euros.
In the Middle East, two new Adagio hotels are planned to join Accor ME’s existing network, the
Adagio Abu Dhabi Al Bustan in the UAE which will open in 2012 and the Adagio Jeddah Malik
Road in Saudi Arabia which will open by 2014. Designed to be a new network of urban residences,
the Adagio chain offers mid-market apartments with à la carte services meeting the needs for both
the corporate and leisure travelers.
