A residential tower in Canary Wharf, a contemporary development at Battersea Power Station, a heritage hotel in Oxfordshire and a luxury hotel within the Syon Park estate may appear to have little in common. For Tulip Real Estate, they are part of the same story.
The London-based property business has built a portfolio that crosses residential, hospitality, new-build and asset-management opportunities across the UK. Its recent activity has made that diversity particularly visible, with acquisitions spanning London’s major residential and regeneration districts alongside an expanding hotel portfolio.
The result is a business that cannot be defined by a single type of property.
A Portfolio Built Across Different Markets
The breadth of Tulip’s portfolio is closely connected to the way the business has developed under Founder and Managing Director Sidd Mahajan. Rather than concentrating exclusively on one segment, Tulip has continued to add different forms of property to its portfolio. Its current projects include residential assets such as Landmark Pinnacle and The Club Upper Riverside, alongside hotels including Hilton London Syon Park, DoubleTree by Hilton Swindon and Warbrook House Heritage Hotel. That creates a different set of considerations for the business.
A residential acquisition may be shaped by location, connectivity, tenant demand and rental performance. A hotel brings an entirely different operating environment, where service, occupancy, brand positioning and management become central to performance. Having both within the same business creates a broader operating perspective.
From Canary Wharf to Battersea: Reading London Through Its Districts
Tulip’s London portfolio also provides a useful way of looking at how the capital itself is changing. Landmark Pinnacle places the company within Canary Wharf, one of London’s established financial and business districts. In 2025, Tulip completed the acquisition of 24 residential apartments within the tower.
Elsewhere, KOA House at Battersea Power Station puts the business within one of London’s most prominent regeneration projects. The Electric Boulevard development sits beside the Grade II-listed power station and is surrounded by new retail, leisure, residential and commercial activity. Tulip’s project page notes that rental and asset management operations for the asset are overseen by JLL.
These are two very different parts of London, but both illustrate an important feature of the portfolio: location is considered in relation to the wider environment developing around an asset.
Transport, employment, regeneration, amenities and the evolution of a neighbourhood all influence how a property sits within the larger city.
Where Property and Hospitality Come Together
Tulip’s hospitality portfolio adds another dimension to that approach. The company’s hotel interests range from historic properties such as Warbrook House Heritage Hotel and Whately Hall Hotel to contemporary branded hotels including Hilton London Syon Park and DoubleTree by Hilton Swindon. Hilton London Syon Park, acquired in 2025, is particularly distinctive. The hotel sits within the 200-acre Syon Park Estate and combines a contemporary hospitality offering with a historic setting close to Central London.
For Siddharth Mahajan UK, the hospitality connection also reflects his own professional background. Before establishing Tulip, Mahajan spent more than two decades in hospitality, beginning his career at Oberoi Rajvilas in Jaipur and subsequently working in hospitality roles in the UK.
That experience gives Tulip’s property activities an operational dimension that is particularly relevant when the asset itself is a hotel or serviced accommodation business.
A Portfolio That Moves With the Market
Diversification in real estate is often discussed purely in financial terms. Tulip’s portfolio offers another interpretation: diversification can also mean having experience across different types of property and different operating models. The company’s history reflects that progression. From serviced rooms and short lets, Tulip moved into HMOs, new builds and refurbishments before expanding further into hotels and real estate management.
Its 2025 activity demonstrated how broad that model had become. Alongside Landmark Pinnacle and KOA House, Tulip completed a residential acquisition on New Kent Road, advanced a 45-apartment acquisition in Elephant & Castle and expanded its hospitality portfolio with two Hilton-branded hotels. The company reported more than £100 million in transactions across real estate and hospitality assets during the year.
The significance lies less in having a long list of properties than in having the infrastructure and expertise to manage very different assets within one business.
What Comes Next for Tulip Real Estate?
The next stage of Tulip’s growth is likely to be shaped by the same principle that has defined its development so far: looking at property as an operating business as well as a physical asset.
That means understanding where demand is forming, how neighbourhoods are changing, what different occupiers expect and which professional partners can help an asset perform effectively.
For a company that began with serviced accommodation in London’s business districts, the journey into residential developments, regeneration-led assets, hotels and asset management represents a significant expansion of scope.
It also explains why the names Sidd Mahajan London, Sidd Mahajan UK, Siddharth Mahajan London and Siddharth Mahajan UK increasingly sit alongside a much broader Tulip Real Estate story, one built around property, hospitality and the long-term management of both.
