The branded real estate sector has seen amazing growth in recent years especially in the Florida area. Miami is “king” when it comes to the numbers of branded residences, but other areas such as Fort Lauderdale have seen significant growth.
In this article we take a look at some of the best branded residences in Fort Lauderdale, the benefits of owning branded residences and why Fort Lauderdale is a great place to live and own luxury real estate.
What are Branded Residences?
Branded residences have grown into the real estate mainstream in the past decade, but in reality the past 5 years is where we have seen the biggest growth.
Branded residences are elite prime residential real estate associated and branded with the world’s best hospitality and luxury brands.
These luxury developments offer private home ownership with five-star hotel services, world class amenities, the best design and are normally found in premium locations.
The concept originated with hotel operators (commonly found with both hotel and residential components) but has also expanded to include fashion houses, automotive manufacturers, and lifestyle brands.
These properties offer world class design, professional management, concierge services, and exclusive amenities under prestigious brand names but do not normally have an onsite hotel.
While luxury hotel brands remain dominant with 79% of developments being hotel branded residences according to Savills Branded Residences Report 24/25, non hospitality luxury brands are gaining market share by targeting different consumer segments.
This geographical and operational shift reflects both market maturation and growing demand across varied price points and locations.
Once for just the extremely wealthy, branded residences are now being built to cater to a wider circle of property investors, and not just the super rich.
The Lifestyle Benefits of Fort Lauderdale
Fort Lauderdale offers year-round tropical weather and a sophisticated coastal lifestyle with extensive waterways, earning its reputation as the “Venice of America.”
The city provides direct access to world class boating, pristine beaches, and an expanding cultural scene featuring high-end restaurants and arts venues.
The luxury real estate market benefits from Florida’s favorable tax environment, with no state income tax and significant property tax advantages for primary residents.
The city’s real estate development includes new world class branded residences, luxury condominiums and waterfront estates, with many luxury developments offering ocean, intracoastal, or canal views and private docking facilities.
Fort Lauderdale’s location provides easy access to Miami while maintaining a more relaxed atmosphere and lower density.
The city also boasts excellent private schools, premium healthcare facilities, and an international airport, a growing business district and technology sector that is attracting affluent professionals, further strengthening the luxury real estate market.
