Branded residences have emerged as one of the most dynamic and rapidly expanding segments of the global luxury property market. Blending premium real estate with the prestige, service, and lifestyle of globally recognised brands, these properties are reshaping the expectations of discerning buyers and high-net-worth investors alike. In prime locations such as London, branded residences are not just status symbols — they are strategic investment assets. This article explores what branded residences are, why they’re in high demand, and how Fraser Bond can assist buyers and investors looking to capitalise on this growing trend.
Branded residences are luxury homes affiliated with premium brands — typically hospitality, fashion, automotive, or lifestyle names. These properties combine high-end living with the service standards and identity of the associated brand, offering residents access to five-star amenities and an exclusive lifestyle experience.
Concierge services and 24/7 security
Wellness centres, spas, and gyms
Private lounges and restaurants
Interior design by renowned architects or fashion houses
Priority access to hotel services (if co-located with a hotel)
Brands involved in this space include Four Seasons, Ritz-Carlton, Armani, Bulgari, and Aston Martin, among others.
Branded residences often command a price premium of 20–30% over non-branded equivalents. Despite this, they tend to hold their value more effectively, with a proven record of outperforming the wider luxury market during economic downturns.
These properties attract a global tenant base seeking exclusive lifestyles. In key global cities like London, Dubai, and New York, branded residences offer strong rental returns and lower vacancy risks.
Fully managed and maintained to exceptional standards, branded residences offer a hassle-free ownership experience — ideal for overseas investors, second-home buyers, and portfolio holders.
The association with iconic brands lends a layer of exclusivity, trust, and security that resonates with ultra-high-net-worth individuals and institutional investors alike.
London has witnessed a surge in branded residence developments over the last decade. Projects such as The OWO Residences by Raffles, Bulgari Residences Knightsbridge, and Mayfair Park Residences by Dorchester Collection set a new benchmark for ultra-luxury living in the capital.
Key hotspots include:
Mayfair – Known for heritage and opulence
Knightsbridge – Home to flagship brands and boutique luxury
Belgravia and Chelsea – Classic architecture meets modern living
City of London and Canary Wharf – Ideal for executive buyers
