Estimate from the opening date or the phase and the usual lead times per trade, as of November 2026; counts of 1 or 2 show as "fewer than 3".
A trade usually counts fewer projects than the general window at the top; these can count more, because their own window counts alone:
- Specification: Facade & glazing, Spa, pool & leisure, Fitness, Pre-opening & brand
- Buying: Bathrooms & sanitaryware, Doors & ironmongery, Facade & glazing, Modular & bathroom pods, Elevators, Fitness, Pre-opening & brand, Procurement & project management
Phase mix
Openings by year
Projects with a dated opening. Counts of 1 or 2 show as "fewer than 3". Projects without a public opening year (14) count by their phase. 2026 without a published month (22): 21 of them are in construction and may still open by year end; fewer than 3 are still in vision or planning, so their date will very likely move.
Open roles
- 7 without a named operator on the map
- 14 without a named architect on the map
- 19 without a named interior design studio on the map
- 35 without a named general contractor on the map
Counted projects in vision or planning whose file names no company for this role yet. Most hotel projects name their general contractor late or never in public, so that figure shows what is not public yet, not open tenders. Counts of 1 or 2 show as "fewer than 3".
Cities with a city page
12 of the 109 projects are in places with fewer than 5 projects and no city page of their own.
