Marriott Expands Residences in Europe, Middle East & Africa

Marriott International has announced continued momentum and expansion of the company’s branded residential portfolio across the Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA) region.

Today, the company’s EMEA branded residential portfolio spans 18 countries and territories, with 33 open locations and over 50 in the pipeline. Since year-end 2023, the company has grown its branded residential total portfolio by 23% in Europe, and 59 percent in the Middle East & Africa, demonstrating the growing demand for elevated living in the region.

“With 25 years at the forefront of branded residences, Marriott continues to drive record residential growth and development velocity across EMEA. Our expanding branded residence portfolio and robust pipeline reflect strong market demand and developer success.

Backed by the power of the Marriott Bonvoy brand portfolio, developers are delivering high-performing projects and vibrant communities in premier destinations” said Jaidev Menezes, Marriott International Regional Vice President, Mixed-Use Development, EMEA.

Year-to-date 2025, Marriott has signed nearly 20 branded residence agreements in EMEA (approximately half of which are standalone projects). Milestone signings include The Residences at the Dubai Beach EDITION, slated to be the lifestyle luxury brand’s first residences in EMEA, led by Shamal Holding.

Reflective of evolving buyer preferences and the company’s dynamic brand portfolio, nearly two thirds of the YTD signings are in the luxury segment, with the remainder in the premium segment.
