Nobu Hospitality's Transformative Approach to Real Estate
Strategic Global Expansion Allows Guests to Dine, Stay and Live with Nobu Throughout the World
NEW YORK, April 30, 2025 /CNW/ -- Underscoring its distinctive approach to luxury living and lifestyle-led real estate, Nobu Hospitality continues to redefine the branded residence space with an expanding global portfolio that combines purposeful design, world-class hospitality and a deep sense of community.
With 18 Nobu Residences across four continents, Nobu is charting an ambitious path toward global expansion. Since the announcement of its first residential project in 2017, Nobu has achieved remarkable milestones – demonstrating not only the power of its global identity but its ability to create vibrant communities that resonate with discerning residents seeking more than just a place to live.
Notable milestones include setting record pricing with the highest apartment sale prices in Abu Dhabi with penthouses at $37.5 million, and the swift three-month sell-out of Nobu Residences Toronto—achieved at what was then the city's highest average price point. These accomplishments, among others, firmly establish Nobu at the vanguard of a new era in luxury living.
Nobu Hospitality's residential global success is rooted in its strategic collaborations with world-class regional partners, including visionary developers such as Aldar Properties, RCD Hotels, Salboy, SODIC, Viet Capital Real Estate, Asset World Corporation, Breevast, Madison Group, Enevoria Group, among others.
Designed to offer a residential experience akin to that of a luxury hotel, Nobu Residences provide exclusive access to signature Nobu dining, private catering, room service, wellness programming and a dedicated experience team – a lifestyle that seamlessly integrates into the essence of modern real estate. Nobu's approach to residences is rooted in cultivating a sense of place among like-minded individuals, by delivering spaces that reflect the brand's Japanese minimalism and contemporary luxury. In this evolving landscape, brand loyalty plays a pivotal role in rent premiums and real estate sales as location, and Nobu is a pioneer in this shift.
" The essence of real estate goes beyond mere structures; it's fundamentally about creating a sense of community and connection. Our residences transcend traditional amenities. They embody a lifestyle rooted in the Nobu community , like-minded individuals, featuring exceptional food and dining options, all seamlessly integrated into the fabric of real estate.", said Trevor Horwell, CEO of Nobu Hospitality. " The Nobu brand has consistently showcased its brand power, community strength, lifestyle premium, and, most importantly, customer loyalty through historic sales of Nobu-branded real estate in record timeframes across multiple continents. We take pride in reshaping the standards of luxury living."
Developers and partners across the globe are increasingly drawn to the "Nobu effect", a proven combination of brand equity, lifestyle premium, and sales velocity. The Nobu name adds value but also creates loyal communities of residents who are drawn to the brand's unmistakable lifestyle, evident through historic cross-continent sales in record time.
"Nobu is currently focused on expanding within key global urban markets while also growing its portfolio of non-hotel branded residences to capture a broader segment of the luxury residential market," added Horwell. "A key advantage of these residences is their access to the same elevated food and beverage offerings, including private catering and in-residence dining – amenities that today's luxury buyers increasingly prioritize."
Through its pioneering approach to branded residences and impressive growth trajectory, Nobu Hospitality will continue to redefine luxury living on a global scale, combining signature lifestyle and design for an unparalleled residential experience.

Japan's Princess Kako receives medal in Brazil as she starts 11-day trip
SAO PAULO (AP) — Japan's Princess Kako of Akishino, a niece of Emperor Naruhito, received the highest order of Brazil's powerhouse state of Sao Paulo on Friday as she kicks off an 11-day trip to the South American nation. Her trip also marks the 130th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries. The younger daughter of Crown Prince Fumihito and Crown Princess Kiko arrived on Thursday in Sao Paulo. She held appointments with members of the Japanese community on Friday and finished her schedule at a dinner with Governor Tarcisio de Freitas at the state government palace. She was awarded the Order of the Ipiranga at a closed ceremony. Princess Kako will visit another seven cities, including Rio de Janeiro and capital Brasilia, where she is expected to meet President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Speaking to de Freitas, she made reference to the first Japanese immigrants arriving in the city of Santos in 1908 after a gruesome trip through the seas. On the first day of her trip, she visited the memorial to pioneer Japanese immigrants at Sao Paulo's Ibirapuera Park. 'I felt that the immigrants made an enormous effort to adapt to Brazil, and still today are very active in different areas. The fact that Brazil sheltered the Japanese community made the connections between the two countries to become deeper,' the princess said. Today, Brazil has the largest population of people of Japanese descent in the world, estimated at about 2.7 million. About half of those live in Sao Paulo state, official figures show. Emperor Naruhito has no male children, which makes his brother Akishino, Princess Kako's father, the first successor in line. Japan's tradition does not allow women to take the throne. Princess Mako, who is Princess Kako's older sister, was the last member of Japan's imperial family to visit Brazil. She traveled to 13 cities of the South American nation in 2018.

Billion-dollar battery plant pauses construction amid electric vehicle and tariff uncertainty
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — A Japanese company has halted construction on a $1.6 billion factory in South Carolina to help make batteries for electric BMWs, citing 'policy and market uncertainty.' While AESC didn't specify what those problems are, South Carolina's Republican governor said the company is dealing with the potential loss of federal tax breaks for electric vehicle buyers and incentives for EV businesses as well as tariff uncertainties from President Donald Trump's administration. 'What we're doing is urging caution — let things play out because all of the these changes are taking place,' Gov. Henry McMaster said. AESC announced the suspension in construction of its plant in Florence on Thursday, 'Due to policy and market uncertainty, we are pausing construction at our South Carolina facility at this time,' the company's statement said. AESC promised to restart construction, although it didn't say when, and vowed to meet its commitment to hire 1,600 workers and invest $1.6 billion. The company said it has already invested $1 billion in the Florence plant. The battery maker based in Japan also has facilities in China, the United Kingdom, France, Spain and Germany. In the U.S., AESC has a plant in Tennessee and is building one in Kentucky. The statement didn't mention any changes with other plants. The South Carolina plant is supposed to sell battery cells to BMW, which is building its own battery assembly site near its giant auto plant in Greer. BMW said the construction pause by AESC doesn't change its plans to open its plant in 2026. AESC has already rolled back its South Carolina plans. They announced a second factory on the Florence site, but then said earlier this year that their first plant should be able to handle BMW's demand. That prompted South Carolina officials to withdraw $111 million in help they planned to provide. The company is still getting $135 million in grants from the South Carolina Department of Commerce and $121 million in bonds and the agency said a construction pause won't prompt them to claw back that offer. South Carolina is investing heavily in electric vehicles. Volkswagen-owned Scout Motors plans to invest more than $4 billion and hire 10,000 people for a plant to build its new electric SUVs scheduled to open in 2027. The state has for decades made big bets on foreign manufacturers like BMW, Michelin and Samsung that have paid off with an economic boom this century, but there is uneasiness that Trump's flirtation with high tariffs might stagger or even ruin those important partnerships. McMaster told people to relax as state and business leaders are talking to Trump's administration and things will work out. 'I think the goal of the president and the administration is to have robust economic growth and prosperity and there is no doubt there has to be changes made in our international trade posture and President Trump is addressing that,' McMaster told reporters Thursday.
