Shanghai JT Realty Advisors, a joint venture fund of Jin Jiang
Hotels and Thayer Lodging Group, has announced plans to

development coming through leases. The joint venture’s

commercial buildings and convert them into hotels with the
Marvel branding. The first Marvel hotel is already
operational in Shanghai, with seven more expected to be
opening in the coming years. |
