With renowned international brands constantly looking for new ways to expand their portfolio, branded residences have witnessed a rapid surge across the world in the last several years. Interestingly, the expansion has not just reached developed real estate markets but also emerging ones, where companies are taking advantage of their reputations and creating world-class residences with a bouquet of amenities, leading to tremendous wealth creation and economic growth.
Hence, it’s pretty straightforward why in Dubai, a city known for its opulence and dynamic real estate, the branded residences market has only been escalating. From the first branded residences that were established in 2010 (Armani Residences in Burj Khalifa), the emirate has come a long way with outstanding developments by leading luxury brands like Bulgari, Mercedes-Benz, Lamborghini, Cavalli and Karl Lagerfeld dotting its skyline today.
