A branded residence is a residential property (eg. apartment, villa, condominium) that is sold for individual ownership. The brand may be affiliated with hospitality, automotive, fashion, design, wellness, or another lifestyle sector, or it may be an independent residential brand created by a developer.
To be eligible, the residences must be available for individual ownership (sold or offered for sale to private owners).
Entries are welcomed from developers, hotel and lifestyle brands, residence operators, architects, designers, sales and marketing teams, agencies, consultants, technology providers and other eligible organisations or representatives involved in branded residences. Eligibility may vary by category, so please review the relevant 2027 criteria before submitting.
Entries will be managed through our dedicated awards platform. Once entries for 2027 open, you will be able to create a profile and prepare a separate submission for each category you wish to enter.
