BRANDED RESIDENCES

Visualizing Prestige: Marketing Branded & Serviced Residences

 

The branded residence sector is experiencing explosive growth, particularly across New York and Florida markets where discerning buyers seek the reassurance of globally recognized hospitality & luxury brands attached to their real estate investments. This surge has positioned marketing visuals as critical tools in pre-sales strategies.

Recent Spaces’ photorealistic renderings and cinematic films, brought to life by our team of passionate artists and filmmakers, enable property developers and their brokerage firms to secure commitments long before ground breaks, while giving brand partners confidence that their identity translates seamlessly into residential form.

Branded residences represent a unique marketing challenge—communicating not just architecture, but an entire lifestyle ecosystem. Projects like 888 Brickell Avenue, Banyan Tree Bimini, and Mandarin Oriental, Mayfair, London required visuals that conveyed both the tangible (interiors, amenities, location) and the intangible (service philosophy, brand heritage, elevated daily living). Our renderings, animations, and interactive content bridge this gap, translating five-star serviced amenities into compelling visual narratives for end buyers, brand agencies, and property developers alike.

 
 

For the first time, the gilded gravitas of the Dolce&Gabbana experience is extended to the home. Each residence goes beyond the expected to create a canvas for your Dolce&Gabbana lifestyle.

The brand vision behind the project is communicated in many unique and bold ways.

The Serviced Residence Revolution

Serviced residences occupy a distinct niche, blending hotel-style amenities with the flexibility of apartment living. Communicating these unique services through lovingly hand-crafted imagery has become an essential part of the renderings process for projects of this nature.

 
 

In the heart of the Bahamas, where pristine sands meet crystal-clear waters, Banyan Tree Bimini Resort and Residences is shaping the future of refined living.

 
 

Our work in this space centres on creating imagery that captures operational sophistication—showing not just beautiful spaces, but systems that work. For serviced residences, renderings must communicate management infrastructure, brand consistency across units, and the seamless guest experience that drives occupancy rates.

 
 
 

“It's real estate marketing meets lifestyle branding, requiring a nuanced visual approach.”

With demand intensifying across gateway markets, developers and brand agencies increasingly rely on high-calibre visual content to differentiate their offerings in saturated luxury segments. Our interactive experiences and films allow prospects to explore every detail—from lobby arrival sequences to owner amenity programming—creating emotional connections before the first site visit. In markets where pre-construction sales velocity determines project viability, these tools aren't optional; they're essential infrastructure for modern real estate marketing.

The seamless indoor/outdoor design of the residences carry the Banyan Tree ethos through into everyday living.

Properties like Monogram New York exemplify this category—offering fully furnished units with housekeeping and streamlined short-term rental programs. Marketing these properties requires visual content that emphasizes both investment potential and turnkey convenience, appealing to buyers seeking hassle-free ownership and amenity-driven revenue streams. Full-time concierge services by LIVunLtd include itinerary management and travel arrangements, events management, private chef access and catering, and more.

“Luxury is a living thing. It evolves like the fabric of our culture. What drives us is a need to be resolutely relevant, and to craft one-of-a-kind experiences”.

– Markus Engel, Founder - Anthology Group
