The company will be growing its array of brands, from EDITION to W, by more than 70 percent in the branded residential space.

Marriott is already the world’s largest residential company in the lodging industry, with a pipeline of 60 new projects.

“As the number of residential condominium buyers grows globally, Marriott International’s well-known brands are ready to welcome them ‘home’ and deliver a distinct experience,” said Tony Capuano, Executive Vice President and Global Chief Development Officer, Marriott International. “We are excited to work with world-class developers to help them deliver highly desirable and successful branded residences to market.”

That includes 21 branded units at The Solaz, a Luxury Collection Resort in Los Cabos, expected to open this month.
