Debuting at FHS World on 2 October, The Branded Residences Forum will feature workshops and conference sessions exploring the sector’s rapid growth in the Middle East and across the world.
The event will examine key topics related to the development and operation of branded residences, including value creation opportunities, the growing array of branding options available to developers, the emerging trend towards standalone branded communities, and the arrival of non-traditional players such as luxury automotive and fashion brands in the sector.
Sustainability strategies, legal structuring, design and sales & marketing case studies are also on the robust agenda, along with the exploration of sector-related topics including co-working concepts, the evolution of shared living and the rapid growth of private clubs as places to work.
According to Savills Residential Development Consultancy, the branded residences sector has grown by 160 per cent globally over the last decade. By the end of 2023, there were approximately 1,300 projects around the world, with hotel branded residences accounting for 82 per cent of them.
Savills data also shows that the Middle East – which is rapidly emerging as a global hub for the sector – currently has 45,000 residential units in 200 branded developments across 80 brands. With a staggering 500 per cent increase in branded residences in the last decade – from 10 in 2014 to 50 in 2023 with another 50 in the pipeline – Dubai is the most active market worldwide and now rivals Miami, New York and London as a world leader in branded residential development. Saudi Arabia is also seeing significant growth, with a 65 per cent surge in its branded development pipeline between 2022 and 2023.
Research by Global Branded Residences (GBR), a leading consultancy for the sector, shows that the United States, where branded residences first started, represents 36 per cent of existing projects but only 18 per cent of developments in the pipeline, highlighting the extent of global growth.
The Middle East and Africa currently accounts for 19 per cent of the global branded residences existing and pipeline project network; Europe represents 16 per cent; Asia Pacific 22 per cent and The Americas 43 per cent. The world’s top locations for branded residences are Dubai, Miami, New York, London, Phuket, Sao Paolo, Los Cabos, Istanbul, Bangkok and Cairo, according to GBR.
Jonathan Worsley, Chairman of The Bench, organiser of FHS, said: “We are delighted to add this new and exclusive conference to FHS World. One of a host of new features and attractions at our 2024 event, The Branded Residences Forum will bring together an elite group of industry professionals and innovators to take a deep dive into the sector’s growth, evolution and seeming endless investment opportunities. We are proud to partner with Accor One Living – a global leader in this field – to explore the importance of branded residences to our industry today, and how the sector will be a key driver in the future success of the hospitality industry on a local, regional and global scale.”
