Property experts believe that branded residences will have a special place in the real estate industry because of their unique offerings as well as the attention to detail and quality service provided. These products appeal particularly to high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) with discerning tastes and who are willing to pay a premium for a luxury lifestyle. From a transactional standpoint, property experts believe branded residences will continue to see steady demand despite the Covid-19 pandemic and ongoing economic challenges, especially those with strong brand names. “The traditional branded concept is a hotel-led development with integrated or linked residences.

The results were published in our Nov 23 issue. In this issue, we are revisiting the results of the same survey and taking a closer look at whether buyer preferences have shifted from landed to high-rise properties, the factors that affect their housing choices, and whether they would be more open to renting rather than buying houses post-MCO. ....
