Day: September 28, 2022

Strong appetite for Marriott Residences & JW Marriott Residences at Grand Marina, Saigon and The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Hanoi was evident at worldwide sales events.

SINGAPORE, Sept. 28, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — It is great news for Druce – the international sales agency of Grand Marina, Saigon and The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Hanoi. Both developed by Masterise Homes with services provided by Marriott International, the two projects have seen strong buyer interest from Asian and European markets.

In September 2022, Druce organized VIP consulting sessions in Singapore to introduce Marriott branded residential apartments in Vietnam.

Robert Bartlett, CEO of Druce Global, shared: “We had positive responses with great appetite in various markets. With our 200 years of experience with prime property all over the world, we knew that we could showcase Marriott Residences & JW Marriott Residences at Grand Marina, Saigon and The Ritz-Carlton Residences at The Grand, Hanoi around the world and that they would look extremely favorable in comparison with non-branded residences in the global markets. This showcases Vietnam in the best light and underlines the fact that real estate developments have now met the highest standards of the international market.”

Investors in Singapore paid special attention to Vietnam’s branded residences.

This is not the first time Vietnam attracted foreign buyers in the branded residence sector. In 2021, Masterise Homes partnered with Asia Bankers’ Club to launch Grand Marina, Saigon in Hong Kong which also had great sales results amidst the global pandemic.

These continuous successes highlight the great demand for investment properties in Vietnam and the confidence international buyers have for residences affiliated with Marriott International brands.

They are sure-fire investments for global investors. Both Druce and Asia Bankers’ Club attributed the success to two key factors including their prime location in Vietnam and their association with the world’s leading hotelier brands.

The dual – branded Grand Marina, Saigon brings to Ho Chi Minh City’s coveted District 1 branded units from two Marriott International brands – JW Marriott and Marriott. Overlooking the northern banks of the Saigon River, this trophy asset fuses uncompromising quality and world-class Italian fitouts complemented by the dedicated services and signature amenities from JW Marriott and Marriott. The quality of the development is backed by the strength of the Marriott International brands, its global network and the guarantee of effortless home ownership.

Vietnam’s first Ritz-Carlton Residences, The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Hanoi is a boutique branded apartment complex, featuring 104 units rising up in the heart of the Old Quarter, the city’s main business hub. Located in an enchanting area with captivating architecture, ambience and history, The Residences is a landmark that marries the best modern levels of amenity with historic workmanship and design. The project attracts a large audience of loyalists and trophy collectors who identify with the legendary brand’s lifestyle while providing a statement of your discerning taste and an exceptional eye for choosing only the best.

Savvy buyers and luxury lifestyle connoisseurs have more than enough reasons to scoop up these timeless assets. First up is the undeniable prestige of owning a globally recognized branded residence. Then there is the investment appeal of Vietnam property market.

Since 2015 when Vietnam legalised foreign property ownership, the market has been receiving increasing interest from foreign buyers, especially in the high-end sector.

Dung Duong, executive director at the real estate services and investment firm CBRE, said, “With the number of ultra-high-net-worth individuals significantly increasing in Vietnam and foreign investors making a comeback after the pandemic, high-end and luxury properties will continue to receive a lot of interest, especially well-branded projects with assured product quality. Vietnam will see a strong appetite for branded residences as this sector is still in its infancy in the local market and the pricing is more reasonable compared to the regional level, which offers greater upside potential.”

In 2021, Marriott’s milestone branded residential project – Grand Marina, Saigon signified international confidence in the country’s strong fundamentals – and its significance on the global real estate map. “Vietnam is a vibrant destination and has over the years experienced record levels of tourism as international travelers flocked to the country and domestic travelers began to discover the many wonders available in their own backyard,” says Emma Smithson, Regional Director of Residences Operations, Asia Pacific, Marriott International. “With the recent reopening of borders, we are hopeful for Vietnam to rebound rapidly, and we are excited to expand across even more parts of this captivating country.”

As Marriott announced plans to expand its portfolio fourfold in Vietnam over the next few years, it continues its vote of confidence in both Vietnam’s positive economic development and the branded residence sector. Buyers can certainly take heart from this.

• New state-of-the-art facility in Melbourne will further enhance Bombardier’s customer service footprint in Asia-Pacific
• Melbourne Service Centre will provide quick and efficient maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) capabilities for all Bombardier business aircraft, including a parts depot and back shop capabilities
• An important market for Bombardier, Australia is also part of a comprehensive worldwide aftermarket network expansion

MELBOURNE, Australia, Sept. 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bombardier today announced the grand opening of its new Melbourne Service Centre at Essendon Fields Airport in Melbourne, Australia. The new facility is a testament to Bombardier’s commitment to the Australian market and establishes a key building block in its growing global customer support network. At full capacity, the new OEM-operated Melbourne Service Centre will add 65 aerospace jobs in the community, including more than 48 highly skilled technicians and boost Bombardier’s customer service footprint in Asia-Pacific by some 50,000 square feet.

Australia is a key market for Bombardier with more than 80 aircraft in its Australian business fleet. Bombardier is also the OEM with the largest percentage of deliveries in Australia, representing 31% of the market (47% for medium and large business jets). This new, highly efficient facility will serve as an important gateway to Asia-Pacific, serving as a key focal point for customers in the region and for future growth prospects of the Bombardier fleet.

“The addition of the Melbourne Service Centre is the latest in a series of worldwide infrastructure investments aimed at enhancing Bombardier’s customer service capacity in line with our 2025 plan,” said Éric Martel, President and CEO, Bombardier. “In the past year, we have added close to one million square feet of service capacity in several key locations, solidifying our plan to bring more Bombardier jets home no matter where they operate.”

Earlier this year, Bombardier enhanced its customer service footprint in Asia-Pacific with the opening of the new Singapore Service Centre. Bombardier will soon celebrate the opening of its enhanced London Biggin Hill Service Centre in the UK, and later this year, will gather to highlight the opening of its new, state-of-the-art Service Centre at Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport.

Customers at the new Melbourne Service Centre will benefit from a variety of service options, including scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, modifications, avionics installations and AOG support for Bombardier’s dynamic family of aircraft – including the newly introduced Global 8000 aircraft, the flagship of a new era. The facility will also boast a 4,000 sq. ft. parts depot.

“The new Melbourne Service Centre brings essential, specialized services for our customers, enabling us to continue to deliver the service excellence they have come to expect from Bombardier,” said Jean-Christophe Gallagher, Executive Vice President, Services and Support, and Corporate Strategy, Bombardier. “Our new facility will provide infinite benefits, including quick aircraft turnarounds, greater convenience and OEM peace of mind to Bombardier’s growing customer base in Australia.”

The creation of the new facility also underscores the steadfast commitment of the team from the Essendon Fields Airport as well as the Victoria Government, which has supported Bombardier’s development of the service centre and its growth plan.

“Partnering with one of the world’s leading manufacturers of business aircraft for its new facility is evidence of Essendon Fields’ continued investment in creating a centre of excellence for general aviation here in Victoria. There are more business jets based here than anywhere in the country, and Bombardier’s commitment cements Essendon Fields as Australia’s home of business aircraft,’’ said Brendan Pihan, CEO of Essendon Fields.

The new Melbourne Service Centre also aptly illustrates Bombardier’s comprehensive global customer service commitment to provide the best customer service experience in business aviation today.
