The luxury residential landscape is evolving rapidly. At LHA we have noted that today’s buyers are no longer simply looking for an address — they are seeking a complete lifestyle, one defined by service, design, and brand trust. At the forefront of this transformation is the emergence of branded residences.
Formerly a Niche Concept
Once a niche concept reserved for a select few, branded residences have grown into a global phenomenon. In the past decade alone, the number of branded residential schemes worldwide has increased by more than 150%. In North America, this appetite for brand-led living is reshaping skylines and redefining value.
Why this remarkable growth? At the core is the unparalleled power of brand association. Buyers are willing to pay premiums — often as high as 30% above comparable non-branded properties — for the promise of quality, consistency, and a curated lifestyle. For developers, this translates to accelerated absorption rates, enhanced pricing power, and stronger market differentiation.
The Benefits of Branded Residences
Branded residences offer a seamless blend of private ownership with the best of hospitality: personalized service, exclusive amenities, and thoughtfully designed environments that elevate daily life. This hybrid model resonates deeply with a new generation of buyers who prioritize experiences over possessions and expect more from the spaces they inhabit.
At Luxury Hotel Advisors (LHA), we have long championed the intersection of hospitality and residential design. With the expansion of LHA Realty, we are further strengthening this commitment by providing strategic guidance, marketing expertise, and brokerage execution tailored specifically to the branded residence sector. Our integrated approach ensures that every project not only stands out in a competitive market but also delivers enduring value to owners and investors alike.
More Than a Passing Trend
As we look ahead, it is clear that branded residences represent more than a passing trend — they are a fundamental shift in how we define luxury living. They symbolize a new era where home is not just a place, but an experience guided by the same service philosophy that has defined the world’s finest hotels.
We invite developers, landowners, and investors to explore this dynamic segment with us and discover how branded residences can transform projects, communities, and ultimately, the way we live.
