Marriott Expands Branded Residences Across EMEA
At the Resort and Residential Forum, Marriott International, Inc. announced ongoing growth and expansion of its branded residential portfolio across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA). Marriott’s EMEA branded residential portfolio now spans 18 countries and territories, with 33 operational locations and more than 50 in the pipeline. Since the end of 2023, the company’s branded residential portfolio has increased by 23% in Europe and 59% in the Middle East and Africa.
Jaidev Menezes, Marriott International Regional Vice President, Mixed-Use Development, EMEA, said: “With 25 years in branded residences, Marriott continues to develop its residential portfolio and pipeline across EMEA. Our brand recognition and collaboration with developers support projects in diverse destinations and contribute to the growth of residential communities.”
In 2025, Marriott signed nearly 20 branded residence agreements in EMEA, about half of which are standalone projects. Key agreements include The Residences at the Dubai Beach EDITION, the brand’s first residences in EMEA, led by Shamal Holding. Around two-thirds of 2025 signings fall in the luxury segment, with the remainder in the premium segment.
Developers of Marriott-branded residences have reported steady sales. Nineteen EMEA projects launched sales this year. For example, The St. Regis Residences, Al Maryah Island, Abu Dhabi, led by SAAS Properties, sold 60% of units before public launch. Affini, a Tribute Portfolio Residence in Dubai, led by HAMRK Real Estate Development, sold out within a week of launch.
