In March 2019, GIC Private Limited acquired a 25% stake in citizenM, valuing the company at $2.3 billion.[6] APG, GIC, and KRC have committed to invest a further $847 million of equity for future expansion.[7]

In March 2024, reporting indicated that citizenM's owners were exploring business options with the help of Morgan Stanley and Eastdil Secured, which may include a potential sale valued at approximately €4bn[8]

citizenM hotels embrace the International Style, having large glass windows and black metal cladding, making use of off-site modular construction for many of the components.[9] Some of the locations make use of large scale public art, such as by Julian Opie at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport.
