Branded Residences: Owner's Rep and Development Manager
Development management, owner's representation, and advisory for owners and sponsors of branded residences and resort residential, working only for the owner.
A second set of standards.
A branded residence adds a second set of standards to the project: the brand's residential design requirements and approvals, on top of the hotel's. A branded hotel already answers to four parties at once: the owner, the brand, the operator, and the lender, each with its own standards and its own approvals. Aventra works only for the owner, and manages the other relationships on the owner's behalf. We have no construction arm, no design arm, and no affiliated contractors.
Owners and sponsors of hotels, resorts, and branded residences; family offices and private investors adding a hotel to a mixed-use or residential project; lenders and investors in hospitality assets.
Feasibility, brand and operator strategy, design management and brand approvals, procurement, construction and FF&E oversight, and pre-opening, as development manager, owner's representative, or advisor.
Fees are a fixed fee or a monthly retainer for a defined scope and duration, quoted in writing before the work starts. Aventra takes no percentage of construction cost and no fee from any contractor, vendor, or consultant on the project.

One conversation about the site, the brand, and the pro forma. No obligation.
What the owner's side covers
On the owner's side, the design engagement for a branded residence typically covers:
- The design team's scope: the architect's and interior designer's scope for the residences and shared amenities.
- Brand design reviews: the brand's design reviews at each milestone.
- The hotel and residential split: the split between hotel and residential areas, including shared services, back-of-house, and how operating costs will be allocated.
- Finish and specification schedules: the schedules referenced in purchase agreements.
- Model units and the sales gallery: timed to the sales launch.
Aventra manages that process for the owner, coordinates the brand and the design team, and holds the design to the budget and the pro forma. How we deliver hotels and resorts.
