Montara’s Tri Vananda in Phuket clubs these with a sustainable luxury-living approach and materials and design choices that aim to accelerate its carbon-neutral status. These include extensive green spaces that tie in with the group’s design ethos of building up only 15 per cent of its land area. “This promotes privacy and a connection to nature while offering residents access to premium wellness services, thereby aligning with contemporary trends in luxury living,” explains Pattamasaevi.

Branded residences also maximise the value of their investment for UHNWIs, adds Tamthai, as they seek not only capital gains from the property appreciation. “Rental income with a rental programme, managed by experienced hotel operators,” he explains. “This allows owners to generate income from their properties while minimising the hassle of property management.”

Li reports that as per the Knight Frank Global Branded Residences Report, up to 45 per cent of buyers in Australasia are willing to pay a premium for branded residences, highlighting the growing trend in this segment.
As buyers continue to prioritise certain features as well as investment criteria, the luxury real estate trends that were partly accelerated by the pandemic are here to stay, notes Pattamasaevi. “Looking ahead to 2025, we anticipate continued interest in properties that prioritise wellness and sustainability.

“Buyers are increasingly seeking homes that offer not just luxury, but also holistic well-being and environmentally conscious design. This aligns with the overall trend of health-conscious living and investment in sustainable real estate,” he concludes.
