The business the brand comes from — hotel, fashion, design, automotive, restaurant, club, or a developer’s own name.
Independent / Developer brand
How many separately titled homes this project sells, counting every kind it sells. Where it sells more than one kind, each is named and its own count given.
65
The kinds of home offered — villas, condos, penthouses, lots — and how they break down. Not how many, and not what interest is sold.
private villas with individual pools and beachfront access
Whether a hotel shares the site, the building is mixed-use, or it is residences only.
Hotel on site
When its residences were first released for sale.
