Aman Residences: Exclusive Branded Living Guide 2026

Aman Residences: Inside the World's Most Exclusive Branded Living Portfolio in 2026

No brand in the branded residence sector commands quite the same reverence as Aman. While other hospitality names chase scale, Aman has built its entire residential strategy around the opposite principle: extreme scarcity, uncompromising design discipline, and a buyer profile that measures net worth in nine figures.

The Portfolio Reshaping Ultra-Prime Real Estate

Aman Niseko in Japan anchors the brand's wellness-first residential thesis, pairing Japan's first destination wellness retreat with 31 exclusive residences in a private nature reserve — deliberately tiny inventory guaranteeing long-term scarcity.

Aman Beverly Hills, opening in 2028 near Rodeo Drive, extends the brand into one of the most transaction-dense luxury residential markets in the world, with residences ranging from 2,550 to 25,000 square feet.

The Record That Redefined the Category

Aman's first branded residence at The Skywaters tower sold for a record $6,501 per square foot — one of the highest per-square-foot prices ever recorded globally. This confirmed that buyers will pay hospitality-grade scarcity pricing in dense urban towers, not only secluded island retreats.

Why Aman Commands a Different Premium

Three structural factors separate Aman: deliberate under-supply (Niseko's 31 units is typical of the brand's global approach), design continuity across all markets, and service infrastructure embedded in the operator's global hospitality network.

The Investment Case

Rental yield is rarely the primary motivation for Aman buyers — the brand functions as a trophy asset and lifestyle anchor. Where operators do offer rental management programs, yields for branded residences broadly range from 5% to over 10% depending on market and management structure. Aman's scarcity-driven positioning typically favors capital appreciation over yield, with completed Aman residences rarely sitting on the secondary market for long.
