About this Event
Overview
A room for serious property people to build connections, stay close to opportunity and move forward with the right people around them.
Guest Speaker: Raquel Aparicio
Raquel Aparicio is the founder of Mar Design, a multi-award-finalist architecture and interior design studio that helps property developers and investors increase GDV, accelerate sales, and achieve stronger ROI through strategic, design-led solutions.
With 20 years of international experience spanning hospitality, gaming, and super-prime residential projects, including the Four Seasons Hotel, Chelsea Barracks, and The Ferrari Hotel, Raquel brings together design excellence with an investor’s mindset.
In this session, Raquel will cover:
- How to align design with your target market to increase GDV and ROI
- Where developments lose profit when design is treated too late
- What buyers and tenants actually respond to in today’s market
- How to use design to accelerate sales and lettings
- How to turn design from a cost into a profit driver
This is a practical session for property developers, investors, and operators who want to understand how design influences profit, make smarter decisions earlier in the process, and build developments that perform better in the real world.
