Where the hospitality and real estate industries meet

It's been done before- Ian Schrager's 40 Bond, the Four Seasons Hotel and St Regis Residences; where leaders in the hospitality industry transpose their winning hospitality formulas into real estate development.

Recently noticed that the Sukhothai and the Beaufort groups have come together on 'Beaufort on Nassim'. I happen to love both groups, especially the former. My imagination has been captured, especially by the garden residences. While the concept of water feature in place of the balcony isn't new(there's a condominium in the East Coast that has built in a feature pool for every ground floor unit)- the lush setting of Nassim, the large outdoor space, duplex nature of the units and luxe fittings- seem to promise a slice of heaven on earth- Singapore-style.

On the wish list: Aman Resorts' residences(although I wouldn't be surprised that's not in the pipeline already).
