Rhodium Joins Industry Leaders at PropTech Connect London to Explore the Future of Luxury Living

Representing Rhodium, Richard Petrik and Juliet Goldin contributed their expertise to conversations examining two key trends shaping the industry: the changing landscape of prime and super-prime real estate, and the growing influence of hospitality on the residential living experience.

Prime & Super Prime: The Inside Scoop of Luxury Real Estate

Richard Petrik joined an expert panel to explore the evolving dynamics of the prime and super-prime property markets, where exceptional service, thoughtful design and highly personalised experiences are increasingly central to the definition of luxury.

Moderated by Chris Graham of Graham Associates, the discussion brought together Richard alongside Omer Weinberger of Avanton and Wiebke Ståhl of Bugatti International.

The panel explored the factors shaping the luxury real estate landscape, from the expectations of high-net-worth buyers and residents to the importance of brand positioning, exclusivity and creating properties that offer more than exceptional architecture and interiors.

As the market continues to evolve, the conversation highlighted a fundamental shift in what defines a truly premium residential offering. Luxury is no longer measured solely by location, specification or design, but increasingly by the quality of the experience and service delivered throughout a resident's journey.

For Rhodium, this reflects a philosophy at the heart of its approach to luxury residential management: that exceptional properties deserve equally exceptional service, with attention to detail, discretion and a highly personalised approach making the difference between a prestigious address and an extraordinary place to live.

The Hotelification of Property: How the Hospitality Model is Transforming the Living Sector

Juliet Goldin represented Rhodium on a second panel examining one of the most significant developments in modern residential living: the increasing integration of hospitality-inspired services into residential environments.

Joining Robert Morrice of Accor, Jim Eaton-Terry of Quintain, Justine Edmonds of APO and Jan Hazelton of Kerzner International, Juliet contributed to a discussion on how the principles of world-class hospitality are influencing the way residential properties are designed, operated and experienced.

As expectations continue to rise, residents are increasingly seeking the convenience, personalisation and seamless service traditionally associated with leading luxury hotels. From concierge services and curated amenities to proactive property management and meaningful resident engagement, hospitality is becoming an increasingly important differentiator within the living sector.

The discussion provided an opportunity to consider how developers, operators and management partners can translate these principles into residential settings while maintaining the privacy, individuality and sense of home that residents value.

For Rhodium, the intersection of hospitality and residential management is particularly relevant. Delivering an outstanding residential experience requires more than maintaining a building to the highest standards; it means anticipating residents' needs, creating a welcoming environment and ensuring every interaction reflects a commitment to service excellence.

Shaping the Future of Luxury Residential Living

Across both discussions, a common theme emerged: the future of premium residential real estate will be defined as much by the experience of living in a property as by the property itself.

As the boundaries between luxury real estate, hospitality and lifestyle continue to evolve, the role of specialist residential management has never been more important. Creating lasting value means understanding the needs of increasingly discerning residents and delivering an experience that combines operational excellence with genuine personal service.

Rhodium is proud to contribute to these important industry conversations and to share its perspective alongside leading names in property development, luxury brands and international hospitality.
