From Luxury Logos To Lifestyle Properties: The Rise Of Branded Living
Tamara Romeo is the CEO and founder of Southcoast Design Group, helping brands make unforgettable first (and lasting) impressions. In Miami and Dubai, luxury logos glistening from glass towers are so common they might as well be skyline accessories. A logo here, a logo there. Slap on a five-star name, and suddenly a condo turns into a lifestyle. But here's the twist: Branded rentals are edging into the picture—and it's a lot more than just slapping a logo on a lease. Branded Living, Revved Up Consider Fiat House in Fort Lee, New Jersey, a 300-plus-unit residential development. Residents have the option to rent furnished apartments and access a fleet of electric Fiat 500e vehicles through an on-site car-sharing program. I've noticed that often these initiatives aren't structured around revenue-sharing; instead, they serve as a dynamic marketing platform, enhancing brand visibility and engagement in various markets. This approach underscores a shift from traditional advertising to immersive brand experiences within residential settings. In a world where attention is currency, branded rentals offer a new kind of exposure—longer lasting than a social media ad, more immersive (and classier, in my opinion) than a billboard. Fashion Meets Floorplans And it's not just cars. Fashion houses, watchmakers and even wellness brands are designing places to live. • Bentley Residences in Miami—opening in 2028—will feature car elevators to bring residents' vehicles to their sky-high garage (yes, inside the unit). • Armani/Casa is bringing high fashion to high rises, with "two 19-story towers comprising 28 oceanfront units." According to Knight Frank, "Often—but not always—branded residences will sell for a premium above their non-branded counterparts." In some cases, these premiums can be 30% to 40% higher. That's not just about marble countertops—it's about trust, aspiration and Instagrammable status. Why This Trend Works • For Brands: It's experiential marketing with long shelf life. Residents live the brand. Guests visit the brand. Everyone posts about the brand. • For Developers: A luxury label lends credibility and cachet—this could come with instant buzz, faster sales and access to a loyal fanbase. • For Designers: Branded residences offer a unique creative playground. Designers get to blend a global brand's DNA with local culture, resulting in spaces that are both recognizable and regionally relevant. It's where Milan meets Miami, or Tokyo touches Tribeca. The brand sets the tone, but the designer brings the heartbeat. • For Customers: It's lifestyle immersion. Living in a branded residence adds narrative to one's address. Where someone lives is suddenly a flex. Where This Is Headed Branded residences are popping up across the globe. According to Savills: "Across the world, there are 690 completed schemes as of mid-2023, with over 600 schemes in the pipeline expected to be delivered by 2030." Hospitality giants like St. Regis and Mandarin Oriental led the charge, but now fashion, automotive, wellness and tech brands want in. What's next? Think of branded rentals as the designer sneaker of real estate—coveted, collectible and suddenly everywhere. We may be heading toward a future where mid-tier brands use buildings the way they used to use billboards. My advice for industry leaders is to begin with brand alignment—not every brand fits every asset. Luxury auto, fashion and hospitality brands can fine-tune experiences by embedding their essence into residential design, amenities and engagements. Measure beyond unit sales: Track brand uplift and customer engagement to justify residential investments as a marketing channel. Particularly for designers, I suggest treating spaces as brand storytelling tools. Use authentic methods—such as a brand's signature materials and inspired finishes. And maintain local and cultural balance. Global brands should feel rooted in their location, not like a cookie-cutter template that's been seen in city after city. Brand living is a rich, growing genre—and with the right strategy, companies can position themselves as an early player in the next wave of marketing, media and brand ambassadors. Somewhere out there, someone is probably coding the Airbnb of branded buildings—a place where developers list and brands apply. I'd build it myself. But I'm busy.
