World’s best create blueprints for the elite
Premium properties are more than their price tags.
Such developments offer a living experience like no other—think paradise-like setting with mesmerizing views you cannot get anywhere else while you bask in supercool accommodations. Developers of these top tier, world-class properties are tasked with creating spaces that convey affluence, outstanding quality and exceptional service.
Luxury property developers are expected to leave no stone unturned when it comes to their projects, especially since their clientele can be characterized as perfectionist, hard to please and unsparing.
Beyond building a space that’s visually stunning and tasteful in the most desirable locations, these developers need to make sure that only first-class materials are used in construction, that a host of bespoke services are readily available to its discerning clients, and that the amenities found on the property are impressive enough to make one’s jaw drop.
Inquirer Property takes a look at some of the world’s top premium property developers and what makes them highly regarded in the industry.

AHS Properties
Dubai
Dubai has earned a reputation of being a swanky city, with its high-end attractions, exclusive restaurants and designer shops. Its ultra luxury real estate market is seeing a growing demand as well, with AHS Properties emerging as a dominant player.
Founded in 2021 by Abbas Sajwani, AHS Properties’ projects include villas in Palm Jumeirah and Emirates Hills.

Just last year, AHS Properties launched Casa Canal, a collection of boutique residences in partnership with Fendi Casa and situated along the Dubai Water Canal. The property, as you may have guessed, is sold out.
Aman Resorts
Switzerland
The year was 1988 and Indonesian hotelier Adrian Zecha was initially planning to build a luxurious holiday home in Phuket.
The idea later progressed into creating a small boutique resort with 40 pavilions and 44 villas spread over Pansea Beach. The hotelier named Aman Resorts’ flagship property “Amanpuri” which means “place of peace” in Sanskrit.
Since then, Aman Resorts’ name has become synonymous with ultra luxury resort living with focus on privacy and serenity. Now owned by Vlad Doronin, Aman Resorts continues to provide its clientele with an exclusory and holistic stay. Each Aman property is consciously built to remain true to its locale’s geography and cultural heritage, especially those in exotic locations and near Unesco-protected sites.
