In my write-up, I would like to highlight the evolution of luxury properties in Qatar, where architectural brilliance, sustainability, integrated communities, smart technologies, and privacy converge to create a truly opulent living experience. A serious investor’s portfolio typically includes exclusive and high-value assets. This article will address the evolving preferences and expectations of premium buyers by analyzing trends in prestige properties and identifying potential buyers for luxury real estate in Qatar and globally.
Research conducted by ValuStrat, a leading consulting group, suggests that the projects that are the result of collaboration with a well-known global brand have a greater potential for profitability compared to others, and this is especially true in the Middle East, where attention to the brands is higher than in other regions.
There is a growing demand for branded residences globally, and the Middle East is among the hotspots where the world’s high net-worth individuals (HNWI) are investing in exchange for living in premium properties associated with luxury marques.
According to Cityscape Intelligence’s Spotlight on branded residences, the Middle East’s projected supply is expected to increase by 86% by 2027, well ahead of Central and South America at 71% and Europe with a projected 55% growth in supply during the forecast period. It is evident to us that the preferences and expectations of premium buyers have changed in the region by examining how luxury amenities, design, and features are evolving to meet their needs.
Collaborating with prestigious international brands and designers transforms the living experience to unparalleled levels of luxury. Partnerships with renowned fashion houses and luxury automobile manufacturers create residences marked by exclusivity and prestige.
Based on our recent observations, we have noticed a growing trend where clients are seeking not just real estate, but properties associated with distinguished brands. These can include both emerging local brands and globally recognized names.
As a result, we witness in Qatar newly emerging branded real estate projects like The St. Regis Marsa Arabia Island, The Pearl – Qatar, Four Seasons Residences, The Townhouses by Hilton, and Les Vagues by Elie Saab, which are likely to experience success and demand among high net worth individuals (HNWIs).
