Awards Night

Nomination Fee
Rs. 25,000 + 18% GST per category
Four awards for the projects themselves
Segmented by brand family, so winners are spread across the market rather than concentrated in the handful of delivered towers.
Branded Residence Project of the Year
The flagship. The single best branded residence in India, judged as one whole across brand, design, feasibility, commercial performance and delivery. Delivered projects and strongly-selling under-construction projects both compete for it.
Eligibility
A branded residence in India that is delivered, or under construction with demonstrable sales momentum, with a brand partner in place by 30 September 2026.
Who should enter
Developers, jointly with the brand or operator.
Hotel-Branded Residence of the Year
The best residence carrying a hospitality operator's brand, where hotel-grade service and operating infrastructure drive long-term owner value.
Eligibility
A residence licensed to or operated by a hotel brand (for example Four Seasons, Ritz-Carlton, Marriott, Taj, The Leela, Aman, Accor, Hilton).
Who should enter
Developers, operators.
Fashion, Auto & Lifestyle Branded Residence of the Year
The best residence carrying a fashion house, automobile marque or lifestyle brand, translating brand equity into a residential premium.
Eligibility
A residence licensed to a non-hospitality lifestyle brand (for example Armani, Versace, Elie Saab, Aston Martin, Lamborghini, Bottega).
Who should enter
Developers, brand partners.
Design-Led Branded Residence of the Year
The best residence where a design house is the brand, and architecture and interiors are the differentiator that commands the premium.
Eligibility
A design-branded residence (for example YOO, YOO Studio and comparable design houses).
Who should enter
Developers, design partners.
Two awards for a body of work
Rewarding a body of work rather than a single project, so a pipeline-heavy market can still produce worthy winners.
Branded Residences Developer of the Year
The developer that has done the most to build the category, judged on portfolio depth, the quality of its brand partnerships and its commercial performance. This rewards commitment and consistency, not one project.
Eligibility
A developer with two or more branded residence projects active in India (delivered, under construction or launched) by 30 September 2026.
Who should enter
Developers.
Branded Residences Leader of the Year
The individual who has done the most to advance branded living in India, through a body of work, commercial outcomes and standard-setting leadership.
Eligibility
An individual active in the Indian branded residences market. Self-nomination and third-party nomination both accepted.
Who should enter
Nominated individuals (developers, brand and operator executives, advisors).
Two honours conferred by the jury
Not open to public entry. Conferred by the jury alongside the six competitive categories.
Emerging Market of the Year
Conferred by the jury on a city or region breaking out as the next centre of gravity for branded living, from Goa and the leisure markets to the emerging Tier-2 corridors.
Pioneer Award
Recognising those who opened the Indian branded residences category and set its early benchmarks. Awarded at the jury chair's discretion; there is no application.
What the jury needs to see
Who can enter
Developers, brand owners, hotel operators and design firms active in the Indian branded residences market. A project may be entered in the flagship award and in its brand-family award. Entries may be submitted by the organisation itself or by a partner on its behalf with written consent.
Eligibility
Unless a category states otherwise, entries must relate to a brand-licensed, for-sale residence in India that is delivered, under construction, or publicly launched with a brand partner in place by 30 September 2026. Projects need not be complete; what matters is that the entry can be judged on real, verifiable evidence rather than intent.
A note on confidential numbers
Pricing, premium, absorption and sales figures may be submitted as bands rather than exact numbers. The jury reads momentum, not a developer's books. All figures are confidential to the jury and secretariat and are never published.
Rs. 25,000 + 18% GST per category
A non-refundable nomination fee applies for each category. Multiple nominations are charged separately for every category entered. Please make payment in favour of NOESIS HOTEL ADVISORS PRIVATE LIMITED.
