In this episode of Bricks & More, Adrian Strittmatter is joined by James Price – Senior Vice President Residential at Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts – to unpack what it really takes to deliver long-term value in branded real estate.

Branded residences aren’t just about prestige. They’re about performance, property management, and experience – every day, year after year. With two decades of international development experience, James shares what makes Four Seasons’ approach distinctive – and why simply sticking a logo on a building won’t cut it.

This is a masterclass in how real estate value gets built – from feasibility to finish, from floor plans to feeling at home.

Key talking points:

🏗️ Why great branded residences begin with rigorous design and legal groundwork

📍 How location, architecture, and community combine to create lasting value

🛠️ The Four Seasons difference: in-house management, not third-party outsourcing

📈 Why scale matters — and how it shapes service, cost, and resale potential

👥 How community, people, and hospitality drive value far beyond aesthetics

If you think branded residences are just about name recognition, this episode will change the way you understand what delivers true long-term value – for developers, investors, and owners alike.
