Rosewood Residences has engaged with Riyan to produce numerous market intelligence reports and brand premium studies. 

His approach has always been professional, punctual and the results have been positive. 

I consider him a key advisor for branded projects, for both operators and developers anywhere in the world . I look forward to continuing our work with Riyan and would recommend him to anyone engaging in a branded residential project.

During the master planning process of a mixed-use re-development of a high-end resort in the Caribbean, Riyan was instrumental in providing invaluable market intelligence and hospitality-related real estate advisory services.

He entirely immerses himself in the creation of an encompassing real estate vision, whilst supporting the development process with practical, actionable real estate strategies in the interest of his client.

I found Riyan to be communicative, personable and fully engaged with various stakeholders in the project. He contributed his wealth of experience over different asset classes proactively.

I have had the privilege of working together with Riyan as both a colleague and a client for many years. Riyan is among a handful of real estate professionals globally who have true expertise on the branded residences sector. 

His advice is always data-driven and tailored to each project's specifics aiming to minimise development risk and maximising profitability of each scheme. Having worked across numerous countries around the world and with the largest hotel operators and brands, he is perfectly placed to guide his clients through the complexities of a branded residential development.

Riyan worked with Arum to provide a market intelligence report regarding the branded residential sector as specific to the Iberia region.

Riyan consistently exceeded my expectations with his level of expertise and professionalism. He possesses a unique combination of intelligence, kindness, and a remarkable work ethic. Whether it's analysing, investigating, defining, executing, or anything in between, he has a remarkable ability to ensure a project's success. 

Riyan is a true gem in the world of consulting. He has a deep passion for his work and a strong belief in the future of Branded Residences as the future of residential development. His unwavering commitment to his work and clients is truly inspiring. I wholeheartedly recommend him and GBR to anyone seeking exceptional consulting services.

Riyan and I met a few years ago when we teamed up to work on a branded residential project together. 

Since then, we have collaborated on several projects, where Riyan has been a key partner thanks to his extensive market know-how and impressive negotiation skills. Riyan is incredibly open minded, and always keen to explore unchartered branding territory. 

On top, he is a great guy to work with, so I would definitely recommend Riyan as a business partner.

Having been immersed in global branded residences through the past decade, including first-hand experience of working with many leading brands and developers around the world, Riyan has developed an almost encyclopaedic knowledge of the sector. 

Always professional and dedicated to the task, he’s also a pleasure to work with!

Having worked with Riyan on various branded residences projects over many years, he always brings a valuable level of strategic and creative expertise to the table and is by far one of the most passionate and knowledgeable leaders in the branded residences sector. 

Working with him has always been inspiring and insightful, and his knowledge of the industry is second to none.

Riyan is one of the few broadly recognized names in our industry.  He has extensive international experience in the branded luxury and lifestyle residential real estate space that brings a vast level of knowledge to branded residential projects.
