The lure of luxury is stretching beyond the borders of the United States as more and more Americans are looking abroad for upscale real estate<\/a> investments\u2014and its driving developers to tap into the market.<\/p>\n

As the saying goes, \u201cBuild it, and they will come.\u201d This has proven to be the case in Dubai, where branded residences have been sprouting up over the past two decades. Armani Residences opened in 2010 and was among the first to tap into the market.<\/p>\n

By 2031, Dubai is slated to have 140 branded residence projects, according to Arabian Business.<\/p>\n

High-end brands such as the Four Seasons, One & Only, and the Ritz-Carlton have all built luxury high-rises in Dubai. Now, Mr. C Residences, from the owners of Cipriani brands, is putting down roots, too.<\/p>\n

\u201cDubai\u2019s success is the result of deliberate vision. Over the last two decades, its leadership has cultivated an environment that attracts global capital through world-class infrastructure, investor protection, and ease of ownership,” Andrew Cummings<\/strong>, head of residential agency at Savills Middle East, tells Realtor.com\u00ae.<\/p>\n

Branded residences in Dubai make up about 2% of the residential market, according to Knight Frank, but it\u2019s the volume in sales that’s quite astonishing, taking into account the competition. Residences $10 million or more totaled over $2.5 billion in transactions in Q2 2025.<\/p>\n

Knight Frank\u2019s research also saw a shift in trends in the $10 million-plus segment\u2014for the first time since Q2 2023, apartments outpaced villas, with 80 apartment sales, compared to 63 villas. In total, there were 143 luxury deals in Q2 2025.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s this residential market that high-end brands are tapping into.<\/p>\n
