    What is a Branded Residence?

    Branded residences are widely considered the top-end of ‘high class’ living. Focusing on the lifestyle, comfort, impeccable hotel-standard services and quality design, people who stay in branded residences are those who don’t mind forking out more for the luxury, quality of lifestyle and bespoke services.

    Today in Singapore, branded residences are still considered a rarity. Pullman Residences in Newton is the latest that was completed in 2024, and St Regis Residences near Orchard Road was the first of its kind way back in 2008. This makes it a rare commodity and a ‘prized asset’ amongst investors and owners alike.

    Conclusion

    If luxury living, being able to live by the waterfront and having the opportunity to network with the community of top executives and business people in the heart of the city centre are your priorities, W Residences Singapore – Marina View can really be the one for you. 

    The W brand’s signature sophistication, the prime District 1 location, and the seamless blend of hotel-residence amenities with urban convenience, will help to differentiate W Residences from other apartments and condominiums for many years to come. This will more than likely mean that owning a unit for investment is going to bear fruits over time.

    The rare, limited supply is also likely to protect its prices too.

    But if you are currently staying in the Outside Central Region (OCR) and are looking to get a unit for own-stay, especially for families with young children, this will depend on your readiness to adjust to living in a prime location. Daily expenses will definitely be higher, and school options may be more limited as compared to the OCR and RCR.
