To redefine luxury hospitality in urban settings, OBMI created a revolutionary concept, Aera Vertical Resort. Leveraging vertical architecture to minimize the footprint and impact where land is precious in value and availability, Aera brings visual connectivity across the various floors and unique city perspectives not found in the horizontal resort journey. A destination in the middle of a city, Aera offers seven districts: dining, art, fashion, drama, garden, wellness, and family. With more experiences for travelers and locals of all ages, length of stay and visits increase exponentially.
OBM International (OBMI) is a leading global master planning, architecture, and interior design firm that is widely celebrated for designing luxury resorts and hotels, bespoke private residences, and engaging urban areas known as experientially memorable, financially successful, and incomparably marketable.
