Real estate projects with a lifestyle brand (non-hotelier) attract customers thanks to their unique design, limited quantity and scarcity.

According to Savills, the luxury real estate market has grown by 230% over the past 10 years. This growth momentum is expected to maintain for many years to come when a series of brands that are not in the hotel industry (non-hotelier) also participate in this field.

In 2017, the Porsche-branded housing complex was put into operation in Miami (USA). Not long after that, Aston Martin opened a super luxury housing project here. Recently, Bentley announced that it will inaugurate its first residential area under this brand in 2026.

The “weapon” of luxury brands

Brands create a new wave of lifestyles, from the most popular, used everyday areas such as fashion with brands such as Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Chanel, Elie Saab… supercars Mercedes, BMW , Rolls-Royce, Bugatti… to less popular areas such as interiors: Henredon, Restoration Hardware, Edra, Poliform…

There are expensive prices, but these brands have their own “weapons” to be always sought after, customers are still willing to pay, even pay higher prices to quickly own it.

The first “weapon” to mention is the uniqueness in design, in order to attract the attention of the super rich and artistic, luxury brands all have unique, imprinted and distinctive designs.

Besides, the scarcity and limited quantity are the strongest “weapons” of these brands. Typically, the Vespa 946 Christian Dior recently stirred up the market with a price of more than 700 million VND with a limited offer of only 33 units in Vietnam, in just a short time, the price of this car increased. to VND 2 billion because of the increased demand from customers. Or the iconic Hermès Birkin bag of the world’s most luxurious and expensive products priced at up to $1.4 million with a limited edition from designer Ginza Tanaka. This is an exclusive accessory that is even seen by some as an investment due to its limited availability globally.

Scarcity and exclusivity create the value of luxury real estate

Similarly, real estate projects bearing the lifestyle brand (non-hotelier) also inherit those “weapons”. Genuine fashionistas or the super rich always like everything they have to be exclusive and limited. An apartment branded by a favorite fashion brand will be indispensable in their brand collection. Armani, Elie Saab, Missoni, Versace soon realized this.

The imprint of Elie Saab’s Haute Couture dresses that appeared at Paris fashion week, the famous red carpets have also appeared in his branded real estate projects. Elie Saab’s projects are created to the highest standards of Haute Couture fashion, from the selection of materials to the finishing touches, handcrafted by master artisans in limited quantities.

After Dubai with the explosion of non-hotelier brands, most recently, Elie Saab cooperated with Masterise Homes to develop the luxury villa project The Rivus – marking the first entry of non-hotelier in Vietnam. Male. The scarce number of Elie Saab mansion projects around the world is also a guarantee for the value of this branded real estate.
