Branded Residences Guide 6 March 2026

In collaboration with Global Branded Residences, we are proud to present our Branded Residences Guide – a practical overview of the evolving landscape, playbook and commercial dynamics shaping this fast-growing asset class. Drawing on insights from more than 50 recent projects across Europe, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific, the guide provides a snapshot of how branded residential transactions are currently being structured, and the key trends likely to influence the market over the next decade.

Among other topics, the guide explores:

  • licence term applicable to sales and marketing activities, as well as the duration of the continuing trademark licence following project completion;
  • royalty/licence fees payable to brand owners;
  • brand commitment fees and related commercial and legal considerations;
  • technical services fees;
  • ongoing management fees, including local law considerations related to budgeting and statutory maintenance charges; and
  • resale and referral fees.

A short version of the guide is available below.
