The 70-unit Citadines Suites Champs-Élysées Paris is scheduled to open in 2018, while the serviced residence that has been operating as Somerset Shinagawa Tokyo will undergo asset enhancement to reposition the property with additional apartments to be reconfigured. This is expected to be completed by the end of 2016.
