When it comes to real estate investment, ultra-luxury properties consistently outperform other segments such as economy or even standard luxury. Data from premium and ultra-luxury projects show a remarkable trend: a significant capital appreciation and higher return on equity for buyers. Here’s why ultra-luxury properties, particularly the Eden Hills project by H&H, are a haven for investors.
Superior Performance in Capital Appreciation
In a comparative analysis of 20 property projects, ultra-luxury developments outshine other segments. For economy and mid-luxury projects, only 50% deliver notable capital appreciation, and many fail to meet investor expectations. On the other hand, all 20 ultra-luxury projects examined achieved a return exceeding 20%—even those still under construction. Some of these developments have been on the market for less than a year and are already generating significant returns. This makes ultra-luxury investments a safer and more lucrative choice.
