When you ask Sidd Mahajan (also known as Siddharth Mahajan), Founder and Managing Director of Tulip Real Estate in London, what he’s most excited about this year, his answer isn’t just about square footage or returns. It’s about legacy, community, and reshaping how Londoners live. In 2025, several developments and themes stand out for him as truly meaningful, not just because of their business promise, but because they reflect Tulip’s deeply held philosophy: hospitality-led design, emotional intelligence, and long-term value.

The Hilton London Syon Park Acquisition: A Strategic Icon

One of the most high-profile moves for Tulip Real Estate in 2025 has been the acquisition of the Hilton London Syon Park, a 5-star luxury spa hotel nestled within the historic Syon Park Estate.

For Sidd Mahajan, this is more than a headline deal, it’s a real statement. He sees heritage hospitality assets as powerful bridges between legacy and modernity: places that already have operational momentum (trained staff, hospitality infra) but also huge upside when reimagined through Tulip’s lens of service + permanence.

In his own words, turning such hotel assets into “property gold” underscores Tulip’s belief in long-term value: properties that generate cash, but also appreciate, and carry a story that resonates with both guests and investors.

Intelligent, Emotion-Responsive Homes

Another favorite “project” for Sidd in 2025 isn’t a physical building so much as a vision for the future of living. Drawing on his background in hospitality, he’s pushing Tulip Real Estate to build homes that do more than just stand there, they listen, adapt, and evolve.

In this view of the future, homes have embedded sensors and AI that sense patterns, not just when you’re home, but how you feel. Does your voice sound tense? Is your movement slow? The lighting, temperature, even ambient sound can adjust automatically to soothe or uplift. Sidd calls these “emotionally intelligent environments” that feel like partners in your well-being, not just four walls.

To him, this isn’t sci-fi, it’s a human-centred next step. He argues that true innovation comes when technology enhances the emotional experience of home, rather than just optimizing it.

The “Storytelling” Homes: Where Space Becomes Narrative

Siddharth Mahajan’s signature strength lies in treating real estate as a storyteller’s medium. In 2025, one of his defining projects is this very philosophy: designing spaces that tell a story. He often draws inspiration from the poetics of place: how light filters in, how a hallway becomes a corridor of memory, how communal spaces feel like chapters in a shared book. For Sidd, architecture isn’t just functional, it’s narrative.

That’s why Tulip’s developments, whether they’re serviced apartments, shared houses, or boutique hotels, feel deeply intentional. Every piece of furniture, every layout choice, is curated so that a resident doesn’t just live there, they feel there.

Sustainability & Long-Term London Vision

Underlying all of Siddharth Mahajan’s 2025 favourites is a conviction: London’s future real estate winners will be those aligned with infrastructure, sustainability, and technology. He’s spoken about how Tulip tracks not just property trends, but transport developments, green tech, and demographic shifts.

In his vision, energy-efficient buildings with smart systems aren’t a niche, they’re essential. He argues that properties built today must be designed for London’s goals two, three decades out, not just for tomorrow’s market.

He also sees build-to-rent (BTR) as part of that future, creating curated, amenity-rich rental communities (not just apartments) that speak to how people want to live now: belonging + flexibility + quality.

Why These Projects Matter to Sidd Mahajan

Putting these ideas together, the Hilton London Syon Park deal, the emotionally responsive homes, the storytelling architecture, and the sustainability-first mindset, you begin to see what really drives Siddharth Mahajan London:

  • Hospitality DNA: He doesn’t just build homes or hotels. He builds relationships. His past in luxury hospitality (Oberoi, for instance) deeply influences Tulip’s work.
  • Human-Centred Innovation: Technology, for Sidd, is never sterile. It’s a tool to make living more meaningful, more attuned to how we feel.
  • Long-Term Value: He isn’t chasing quick flips. His investments are about enduring value, in heritage, community, and emotional resonance.
  • Sustainability + Vision: He’s betting on London’s future, not just how the city looks today, but where it’s heading: more connected, more green, more intentional.

Conclusion

When you look at Sidd Mahajan’s favourite real estate projects of 2025, what stands out isn’t just the assets, it’s the why. He isn’t investing in buildings; he’s investing in experiences, wellness, and legacy. Through Tulip Real Estate, Siddharth Mahajan is weaving together hospitality and real estate, innovation and heart, value and vision.

If you ask him what makes a property worth building, his answer isn’t just about price per square foot, it’s about impact. It’s about creating something that, years from now, people look back on and say: “That place changed how I live, and I’m glad I was part of it.”
