Beyond the Brand Premium: Valuing Branded Residences
Thursday, October 22, 2026 11:00 AM CDT
Branded residences are among the fastest-growing segments of hospitality real estate—but a recognized name alone does not establish value or ensure a project’s success. This session will explore the distinctive valuation and consulting issues surrounding hotel-affiliated, stand-alone, and lifestyle-branded residential developments.
The discussion will examine how appraisers and consultants assess the factors that drive performance beyond an assumed brand premium, including buyer demand, competitive positioning, absorption, pricing, amenity packages, homeowner carrying costs, rental-program structures, future supply, and the relationship between the residential component and underlying land value. Attendees will gain practical insight into conducting independent, market-based analyses that help developers, lenders, investors, and other stakeholders test assumptions and make better-informed decisions throughout the development cycle.
Speaker: Katy Black, MAI, Managing Director, HVS
