‘The Future of Branded Residences’ in Asia – Bangkok, June 2025

GBR and Sectorlight continue their ‘Future of Branded Residences’ global tour

In June, GBR sponsored and participated in the Branded Residences Forum Asia in Bangkok, where Riyan presented insights on the unprecedented transformation reshaping branded living across the Asia Pacific region.

GBR data reveals remarkable statistics: 900+ projects launching globally in the next 5-6 years will double the entire market, with Asia Pacific set to equal North America as the world’s largest branded residences market for the first time in history, with 70% of luxury hotel deals now including residential components.

Riyan also hosted a fireside chat with Omar Romero from Minor Hotels, exploring how the region has become the epicentre of hospitality experiences, where brands often deliver their most sophisticated offerings compared to their US or European counterparts.
