Banyan Group. Branded residences across Asia and beyond.
Banyan Group was founded in 1994 by Ho Kwon Ping and listed on the Singapore Exchange. It operates four hotel brands (Banyan Tree, Angsana, Cassia, Garrya) and a residences arm that attaches ownership to its hospitality infrastructure. Phuket is the group's historical home base via the Laguna estate, where Banyan Tree first took root. Branded residences under the Banyan Tree and Angsana flags come with operator management options, rental pooling, and hotel membership benefits that hold value for buyers who use the property part-time.
What to know about Banyan.
Mario's position on Banyan Group stock is straightforward: the SGX listing and operator management track record remove the developer-risk question. The remaining diligence is unit selection within the branded tiers, rental program yield projections versus actual historical returns, and exit timing relative to phase cycles at Laguna.

Pre-launch access. By relationship.
Banyan releases new towers and villa phases on a rolling cadence. The best allocations move through a short broker list before any public release. Mario sits on that list and works inventory directly with the Banyan sales team in Phuket.
