Hilton expects Waldorf Astoria Residences portfolio to nearly triple by 2030

Hilton expects its Waldorf Astoria Residences portfolio to nearly triple by 2030, reaching 34 properties and 3,498 units, the company said in a progress update on its Branded Residential by Hilton business. According to the release, 22 Waldorf Astoria Residences are currently in the pipeline.

Hilton pointed to strong sales across several projects. Waldorf Astoria Residences Pompano Beach, a 92-residence oceanfront tower developed by Related Group and Merrimac Ventures and the first standalone residential project in the portfolio, is 90% sold after an $18.1 million penthouse sale. In St. Petersburg, Florida, sales have passed $200 million, including a $27 million penthouse. Waldorf Astoria Residences Yas in Abu Dhabi sold out on launch day, and Guadalajara in Mexico is 53% sold.

In Europe, Waldorf Astoria Residences Athens The Ilisian is due to open in late 2026 on the top four floors of the tower that houses the newly opened Conrad Athens The Ilisian. In Spain, Hilton has signed Waldorf Astoria Residences Marbella in Málaga Province, with 120 branded residences alongside a luxury resort. Other new projects include Dubai Islands and Tokyo Nihonbashi, where 71 residences developed by Mitsui Fudosan Residential will have direct access to hotel services.

"Across EMEA and beyond, we are witnessing growing demand from owners and developers eager to create truly distinctive residential offerings," said Dan Wakeling, vice president, Development, Luxury & Residences, EMEA, Hilton. Joe Haughney, vice president, Branded Residential by Hilton, called the residences "one of the most compelling expressions of our luxury growth strategy."

Construction is also advancing. In Miami, 89 floors of a planned 100-story tower have been poured ahead of completion in 2028, while the first Estate Homes at Punta Cacique in Costa Rica are over 50% sold.
