Claire Pilton’s article in Condé Nast’s property sections this month features international real estate marketing expert Chris Graham’s recent industry report Branded Residences: An Overview.
The article details the way that partnering with an established brand can increase the desirability of a luxury development. Using several examples of globally renowned resorts, Pilton examines the link between branded residences and a profitable investment. Robert Green, of Sphere Estates, points out that these resorts are more likely to retain their high value and make for more appealing purchases for future buyers, should you wish to sell it on.
“On top of the “trophy status”, prime locations, cutting-edge interior design, technology and architecture, hassle-free ownership and premium lifestyle, many offer residents’ discount cards, access to the operator’s properties in other locations, higher rental income, stronger resale values — and like-minded neighbours. Small wonder discerning HNWIs make the best brand ambassadors.”
