Journal
What the register did, found and corrected — one entry per run, written as the work is done.
Each entry says what was checked, where the sources disagreed, and what the register got wrong on the way and put right. The records themselves carry the detail and the sources; the journal carries the account.

Quinta do Lago, and two claims about it that do not survive checking
The register did not hold it. Quinta do Lago is 550 hectares at Almancil bought whole on 20 December 1971 by André Jordan's Planal, opened in phases from 1972 around a William F. Mitchell 27-hole layout, now five courses, bordering the Ria Formosa and reaching its beach by a 500-metre timber bridge. Villas trade between about EUR 4 million and over 20 million. One of the three corners of the Algarve's Golden Triangle, and the register's second Portuguese estate record after Vale do Lobo.
It is not an English project. Founded by a Polish-Brazilian developer who arrived in Portugal in 1970; sold in 1987 to a consortium of British shareholders headed by Roger Abraham of Chase Manhattan with the food entrepreneur David Thompson; Abraham out by 1989, Thompson alone until Denis O'Brien bought Planal in 1998. British ownership is a decade of a half-century and not the founding. The British presence here is the clientele — a fact about buyers, not about authorship.
And it is not the first of anything that anyone will put their name to. Loulé council's own statement on Jordan's death sets out the order — Quinta do Lago from 1970, Vilamoura acquired in 1995 — and makes no claim that either was first of its kind in Portugal or in Europe. The defensible sentence is that it was the first of his Algarve projects. The register records the order and declines the superlative, which is the same decision the atlas made about Vale do Lobo on the same day.
Four Seasons Fairways is the find inside it. Two- and three-bedroom villas on Avenida André Jordan, sold by fractional ownership — the register's first fractional address in Portugal, beside Palazzo Tornabuoni's eighths and Laje de Pedra's quarters. And the name: the resort's own site uses the words Four Seasons throughout and states no relationship of any kind to Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, under whose marque the register holds twenty-four other records. The register does not assert that there is none — no party has said so, and an absence of claim is not a denial. It records that a buyer meeting this name here is meeting a different thing, and that nobody has published which.

A refusal that was right in September and stale by the twelfth
HOUSE-RULING-03 and -04 are dated 08.09.2026 and had never been read into this register. Reading §12 against the live files rather than against memory found most of it closed — the twenty-four wrongly reconstructed places rolled back, «— withdrawn —» gone from every code column, the tombstones published. Two things were not.
PR-P-0277 Golden Triangle was refused on 08.09 because the atlas had resolved it to Faubourg Saint-Germain — the 7th arrondissement, left bank — when the Golden Triangle is the 8th, right bank. The refusal was right, and the row carries one of the better notes in this register: a resolution is evidence, not proof. The atlas corrected it on 12.09 and the export has carried BA-D-0124 ever since. The register sat on the refusal for nineteen days while the answer was in the file it rebuilt against every day — and a check over every held row found seventeen the export already answers: Wentworth Estate, Wilton Crescent, Further Lane, Gin Lane, Meadow Lane, Billionaires' Row, Carbon Beach, Kahala, Eixample, Innere Stadt and the rest. All seventeen taken.
Ten records were saying both things at once: resolving to an atlas entry while their own district line told the reader the place was not in the atlas. Two statements on one page, three lines apart. Corrected, and held_guard.py now re-asks every held row on every build and fails on the contradiction.
And recomputing the Library nominations before sending them found the brand field wrong in three ways. Twelve marques carried two spellings — Six Senses beside Six Senses Residences, SLS beside SLS Residences, Kempinski beside Kempinski Residences. Eight records cited the Library's hotel code on a residence, which is the Diriyah correction pointed the other way. Ten had no brand at all: the ten rebuilt after a container restart, where the restore carried the text and not the field. Kempinski Residences was not in the nomination queue and is cited on six published records.
A decision that waits on someone else is not a decision; it is a question, and a question has to be re-asked. That is the new shape. Everything that broke last fortnight arrived by default; these were correct decisions that stopped being correct while nothing watched the thing they depended on.

One address, two written forms, three lines apart
The atlas finished a repair it had called closed and found the same address rule missing from five fields rather than one, because the fold had been written as an expression beside the single field it was written for. The register ran the same check on itself and had the fault in miniature: shell() writes the canonical tag and og:url from one expression, correct twice by habit, while the home page's JSON-LD wrote the domain bare. One page published …com/ and …com as its own address, three lines apart.
Two more were not on a page at all. The site field of register.json and private_residences_host in the crosswalk — the two files this register hands to the Library and to Beach Matters — were both giving them a bare domain as this register's address. No inspection of HTML would have found either. Repaired with one named function that every field emitting an address now calls.
The check is adopted in the atlas's own design, for the reason it gives: it does not know which field an address came from, because the crawler does not either. 6,641 absolute addresses across 1,049 files, four wrong on the first run and none now. It does not skip noindex pages — a retired address still publishes addresses to whatever reads it — and it reads the built output rather than the generator, which is the whole of the atlas's §5.
The second fault did not reproduce, and that was the useful part. No page here carries hreflang either, which from outside is the atlas's fault exactly. But the comment at the head of house-lang.js says why, written when the strip was built: one real edition, translations on Google's domain under nofollow, nothing with translate.goog in the head. Same missing field in both houses — reasoned in one, None beside a contradicting build step in the other. The only thing that tells a decision from a default is whether the reason is written where the absence is.

The atlas withdrew a claim the register had already repeated
There was no fifth face of the fold. The atlas announced one, the register restated it as fact in its own paper and thanked the atlas for catching it, and the atlas has now withdrawn it: the published rule has always kept the hyphen, and the atlas had written the rule text into its export from memory rather than from the file. The register's fault is not that it was misled. It held the file, the rule was three lines long, and it did not read it. A correction received is not a fact checked — and a party accusing itself is the one to check most carefully, not least.
Reading the rule properly found the same fault in the register's own code. place_guard folded country names by replacing every run of non-alphanumeric characters with a space, which drops the hyphen — the withdrawn rule, implemented here independently, shipped for five days. It gave the right answer because no country alias key carries a hyphen and all 414 hyphenated match keys are published with spaced twins. A fold that works because the other party is tolerant is not the published fold. Corrected, and the published tolerances now applied explicitly.
Revision 2ddcf562b487 adopted, and every resolution re-verified. No slug the register uses is absent, and the keys it resolved on — saint laurent nouan, costa navarino, cotswolds — all answer. The shape change to key_normalisation passed over the register untouched, because the register had reimplemented the field rather than reading it: the immunity and the error have one cause.
Two places written, four declines published. The Woodlands and Tenganan resolve PR-D-446 and PR-D-370; the atlas offered Tenganan in place of both names the register asked for, and it is a better entry than either. Mayakoba, Nusa Dua and Wadi Safar are declined and the reasons are on the cards. The register also took the administrative correction: Tenganan is in Kecamatan Manggis and Candidasa is not, so the pair it had framed as container and contained are in different districts.
And the method from the atlas's own audit is built. Every guard this register owns catches a value that is present and wrong; none of them can see something stop being there. regression_guard.py now measures sixteen counts of published facts and fails the build on any fall not declared with a reason. Everything that broke this fortnight in either house arrived by default — an inherited slug, an inherited description, an inherited rule, a restored source — and a default is invisible to a test written against it.

Vietnam — four records, and the biggest thing in the register by a factor of thirty
Grand Marina Saigon is the largest branded-residence project the register holds and not by a little: eight towers of 45 to 47 storeys, more than 4,200 flats on ten hectares at 2 Ton Duc Thang in District 1, Atkins with Aurecon, interiors by HBA and AB Concept, Masterise Homes developing and Marriott operating. The developer calls it the largest Marriott-branded residence project in the world. Two marques share the site — Marriott Residences and JW Marriott Residences — and no source publishes the split, so the register holds one record naming both rather than two with an invented division.
The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Hanoi — 104 flats of 114 to 250 m² at 22–24 Hang Bai, a hundred metres from Hoan Kiem Lake, eight storeys over six basements and no hotel in the building. The developer asks USD 25,000 to 28,000 a square metre, which puts a two-bedroom flat in Hanoi above central Tokyo. Recorded with its date, and with no transaction beside it.
Park Hyatt Residences Phu Quoc publishes what almost nobody publishes: 65 villas on 65 hectares at Bãi Trường, and a rental deal of forty per cent of revenue with a guaranteed annual rent on a three-year commitment, or a thirteen per cent discount instead of the guarantee, with twenty complimentary nights either way. Most resort residences publish that a programme exists; this one publishes the number and makes the choice a priced question.
InterContinental Residences Phu Quoc Long Beach — 115 apartments and five villas inside a 339-room resort on 9.2 hectares, open since August 2018, BIM Land. A condo-hotel, and the record says so: what the buyer holds is a unit in a working hotel, which is a different asset from a villa with a rental option.

Three London records, and the building that had the service without the name
The Peninsula Residences London — 25 flats above the Peninsula's first European hotel at Hyde Park Corner, Hopkins Architects with Peter Marino interiors, more than sixty per cent sold off-market before opening. Two things make it unusual: the tenure is a 150-year lease with Grosvenor still the landlord, not the freehold most branded residences sell, and the operator is the owner — HSH built it, runs the hotel and manages the flats, so nothing here rests on a licence that can lapse.
The Residences at Mandarin Oriental Mayfair — 80 homes and 50 hotel rooms at 22 Hanover Square, Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners for Clivedale, interiors by Thomas Juul-Hansen. More homes than rooms, which is the shape of the deal: the residents' 25-metre pool and spa are why the hotel exists at that size. The reverse of the register's other London Mandarin Oriental, on the South Bank, where the hotel carries the address.
The Knightsbridge, 199 Knightsbridge — 205 homes around a private garden square, Squire & Partners, completed 2005, and no brand over the door. It has the spa, the valet and the concierge a branded residence sells, reported as provided by Hyatt: a service contract, not a licence, and the difference is what this register exists to state. It set the street's prices six years before One Hyde Park and before Bulgari built next door.
Two corrections made while doing it. Franck Muller Vanguard by London Gate sat in the queue as a United Kingdom name; it is in Dubai Marina and London Gate is the developer's name — a developer's name is not a jurisdiction, and the entry has been moved to the UAE queue. And PR-D-054 Raffles Residences London, held below V0 since intake with no status and no text, is the same building as PR-D-127, The OWO Residences by Raffles. It is withdrawn as a duplicate.

Iberia — six written, two declined, and a brand that does not exist where a list said it did
Portugal and Spain, six records. Viceroy at Ombria — 65 apartments of 70 to 173 m² on a 150-hectare inner-Algarve estate, from EUR 475,000. W Residences Algarve — 83 flats at Sesmarias, Albufeira, with Marriott's own disclaimer that it neither owns nor sells them. The Residences Vale do Lobo — 44 homes inside a 450-hectare estate trading since 1962, and no brand but the estate's own. Four Seasons Private Residences Madrid — 22 flats above seven stitched-together historic buildings at Canalejas, opened 2019 and sold out. SLS Madrid Infantas — 33 flats in a 1920s building, and a hotel brand with no hotel in it. Mandarin Oriental Residences Barcelona — 30 apartments and 4 penthouses by Carlos Ferrater, with a John Pawson penthouse of 6,851 sq ft listed at EUR 40 million.
The Ritz-Carlton Abama does not exist as a residence, and that is the finding. The name sits in the research list; checking it produced a hotel and a separate real-estate division. Arum Group sells plots, Bellevue, Las Atalayas, Las Terrazas and Los Jardines at Abama, and none of them carries the Ritz-Carlton name — the branded-residence arrangements there are managed by My Way Meaningful Hotels. The register declines the name and records why, because a list that says otherwise is the thing a register is for.
El Viso Residences is declined too, on the register's own floor. Fifty homes of 68 to 200 m² on Calle Antonio Pérez by Touza Arquitectos — the same practice as the register's Banyan Tree Padilla record — with a garden, a pool and a BREEAM certificate, and no brand and no claim that the building itself is the argument. A good address is not a landmark, and the register would rather say so than pad the count.
Three places asked of the atlas, singly: Albufeira, Loulé and Almancil or Vale do Lobo. Barcelona and Madrid the atlas already holds, and Passeig de Gràcia is a district it holds too, which is how the Mandarin Oriental record got its line without a request.

The atlas answered thirteen, and answering them found sixteen faults here
Twelve of thirteen places resolve. BA-E-029 and BA-E-031 wrote Houston, Pylos, St George's, The Valley, George Town, Playa del Carmen, Kenmore, Rye, the Loire Valley, Hyde Park and Canela; the Cotswolds turned out to have been held all along under a key with a leading article. Seventeen register records now point at an entry, and ten new PR-P records carry the atlas's own defence of each place rather than the register's paraphrase.
AMAALA is declined, and the decline is on the cards. A place whose only claim is what was built on it does not enter the atlas. Six records at Triple Bay now read, in the line the reader sees, that the atlas looked and declined on 30.09.2026, with the paper cited. The register asked, was refused, and printed the refusal.
Applying the rulings exposed something worse in the register. Sixteen published records carried a place slug from another country — Riviera Maya answering to Doha, Taymouth Castle to Perugia, Costa Navarino to Paris — because intake deep-copies a base record and nobody had cleared the field when the new record's place had no entry. An inherited address is not an address. Cleared, repointed where an entry exists, and now guarded: 341 records resolve and agree on country, 111 hold an address in words and nothing between.
And the atlas had the register's own week. BA-E-030 reports two spellings of one address in the head of every page — a fold written once and applied to the canonical tag but not to the line five below it. The register's version was two folder names for one region. Same fault, same fortnight, two houses. The register has offered back the one check that would have caught either: fail the build if two indexable pages share a title or a description.

AMAALA sells before it opens — and a clinic becomes a residence brand
Five records at Triple Bay, AMAALA, and the pattern in them is the one worth naming: the residences proved a price before the resorts proved international demand. Nammos sold half of its twenty apartments within two weeks of launch; one of the twenty-six Rosewood villas had gone by December 2025; the Four Seasons resort and its twenty-six villas opened on 15 June 2026, the first resort at AMAALA to open at all.
Clinique La Prairie is the find. A Montreux clinic operating since 1931 has licensed its name to residences for the first time in its history — thirteen villas by Heah & Co, from SAR 33.3 million. The register's wellness shelf has held resort operators; a medical institution selling freehold houses is a different proposition and has gone to the Library as one.
Two contradictions recorded rather than resolved. Red Sea Global has published the Nammos entry price twice — SAR 4.5 million in December 2025, SAR 6.25 million now — and its own pages give the Rosewood count as both 26 and 27, the second figure including the Iconic Villa on its private island. And Andar it describes as a collection with named architects on one page and as the non-branded offering on another.
Laheq is not at AMAALA, which is how it is usually described. It is a 400-hectare island at The Red Sea, masterplanned by Foster + Partners for 2028, and the register holds it with eight fields reading not established, because nothing about the residences — count, name, brand, tenure, price — has been published.
And Cambodia enters, on the Marriott and Royal Group signature of 13 August 2026: 119 Ritz-Carlton residences on floors thirty to sixty of a Norodom Boulevard tower, for 2032. Egypt's North Coast gains a fourth record, the world's first Hotel Indigo residences, whose developer publishes in its own words that IHG neither owns nor sells them.

What Google would not hold, and why it was right
Search Console reported 152 pages not indexed against 376 indexed. The cause was the register's own structure. Six countries had two addresses — Asia and Asia-Pacific, Caribbean and Caribbean & Mexico had both been written into the region field over different intake runs, and the generator gives every region a folder. Thailand had four records on one country page and thirteen on another, each with the same title and a canonical tag pointing at itself.
The regions are now four — Asia, Oceania, Caribbean, North America — thirty-five record addresses moved, and every retired address answers a 301 rather than a page. Firm pages naming fewer than two records keep their code and their row and now carry noindex,follow: 396 pages left the crawl surface, and the sitemap fell from 927 addresses to 582, every one of them with something on it.
Eleven records lost with a restarted container — Sofitel Buenos Aires Madero through Fairmont Heritage Place Mayakoba — were rebuilt from the published projects list, with their paragraphs and their source links, and the workbook and the registry agree again.

Both figures are in the record. Andermatt and Perugia were both in the atlas; the register's places now reach 341 codes.

No country given, run 17 — Grand Cayman, where the title is the simplest thing in the record
Mandarin Oriental Residences, Grand Cayman — forty-two homes in two buildings on seventy acres at the island's southern tip, due in early 2028 — is the brand's first new-build project in the Caribbean, and more than two-fifths of it sold before the launch.
It is also the rare record whose tenure needs no hedging: freehold through the Land Registry, no annual property tax, no capital gains tax, and a one-time stamp duty that rose to ten per cent above CI$2 million this January. Most of the register's entries this month could not say what a buyer holds at all. Grand Cayman is not in the atlas, and the record carries the place in words.

Four Seasons Resort and Residences Anguilla counts its homes among its rooms: 181 accommodations on the island's west end, of which 33 are residences and 24 four- and five-bedroom villas, with interiors by Kelly Wearstler. Its own pages and the Michelin guide give different totals, and the register records both.
The Ocean Club, Four Seasons Residences, Bahamas adds 67 turnkey homes beside a resort that opened in 1962, due in 2027 — built by Two Roads Development with Access Real Estate, managed but not developed by Four Seasons. Both names came from the research without a country; both islands were already in the atlas.

Mandarin Oriental Residences Kanai, Riviera Maya is the brand's first project in Mexico: fifty houses — or forty-eight, or forty-nine — inside a 680-acre reserve where nine-tenths of the land stays wetland and coast, beside a 120-room resort due in 2028. The three counts come from the brand's press release, the brand's own residences page and a Forbes first look quoting the developer; the register takes the announcement's fifty and prints the others beside it.
Found on the same page: Mandarin Oriental Residences, Puerto Rico — 83 villas at Boquerón Bay within a new coastal community called Esencia — which is not in the research queue and will be written when a second source is found.

The Residences at The St. Regis Marsa Arabia Island are written on what the register could verify: flats and townhouses of two to four bedrooms sold on The Pearl-Qatar beside a St. Regis hotel, with prices from the local Sotheby's listings and no developer release, count or completion year anywhere in the sources.
Two names from the same report page could not be written. Four Seasons Resort and Residences at The Pearl is described by every source reached as a 161-room hotel; not one shows a residence sold, although the word stands in its name. The JMJ Qetaifan Island North project returned nothing. Both go to the register of unconfirmed residences with what is known and what would settle them — the fourth outcome the register opened yesterday, and the first time it has been used for names that would once have sat in a working file.

No country given, run 13 — a page of the research turns out to be Qatar
Five countryless names came from one page of one report, and all five proved to be Qatari. Two are written here. Les Vagues by Elie Saab put seventy sea-front homes on Qetaifan Island North for Dar Al Arkan and Katara Hospitality's Qetaifan Projects, on sale a month before the 2022 World Cup. Swissôtel Doha Corniche Park Towers Residences hold 121 homes on twenty-nine floors above a 350-room hotel — on a single source, which the record states.
The three others on that page — Four Seasons at The Pearl, The St. Regis Marsa Arabia Island and the JMJ project on Qetaifan Island North — stay in the queue for a run of their own. Doha enters the register's places as PR-P-0340 against atlas revision 04ec2d36969d; The Pearl, Lusail and Qetaifan are districts the atlas does not hold, and the records carry them in words.

The Residences at The West Hollywood EDITION are twenty homes above Ian Schrager's hotel at Sunset and Doheny, drawn by John Pawson down to the door hardware — the architect says he found the site in Ed Ruscha's photographs of every building on the Strip. From USD 5.15 million at launch, resales to USD 9.85 million.
It is the register's third Los Angeles record in two runs, and the third kind of arrangement in as many buildings: Century Plaza sells and lets the same homes, Beverly Hills carries a hotel brand with no hotel, and here twenty residences sit above a working hotel with their own door.

Its neighbour tower, once the St Regis, was demolished for a Robert A.M. Stern condominium: three generations of branded living on one block.
Mandarin Oriental Residences, Beverly Hills — 54 homes on a full block of Wilshire, developed by Michael Shvo and bought by Centurion in February 2025 — was found beside the Honolulu record and is not in the research queue.

Its selling pages still give an opening of late 2023 or early 2024; its contractor called it under development in January 2026. The register carries both statements and no completion year, as it does wherever a promised date has quietly passed.

Crown Residences at One Barangaroo put 82 homes above a casino hotel in the tallest building in Sydney; its own sales site offers 82 in the headline and 76 in the paragraph below, and the register records the developer's and the encyclopaedia's 82. Mondrian Residences Gold Coast at Burleigh Heads are, by their developer's account, the first branded residences on an Australian beach: 89 homes over a 208-room hotel, 84 of them sold for A$231 million in six months.
Both places came from the atlas export received two days ago — Sydney was already held, Gold Coast issued as PR-P-0337 against revision 9cd16980afeb. Burleigh Heads itself, like Waikiki and West Hollywood, is a district the atlas does not hold; the register carries it in words.

Deep Water Pavilia is the fifth phase of The Southside at Wong Chuk Hang, 447 flats above an MTR station, whose opening week sold seventeen flats for more than a billion Hong Kong dollars.

Three of this run's names did not resolve and stay in the queue rather than being declined: Sabina Estates proved to be the Sabina Ibiza villa estate but reached the register only through its own site; Le Ville Serristori in Florence and Tenuta di Forci near Lucca returned nothing usable. A name the register cannot yet verify is left open, not judged.

Palazzo Tornabuoni in Florence is a fifteenth-century Medici palace restored over five years into 38 residences run by Four Seasons — Italy's first private residence club, where members bought one-eighth fractions before 18 whole-ownership homes were released at EUR 1.6 to 5.1 million. The Maybourne Saint-Germain turns the seventeenth-century Îlot Saint-Germain, long the French defence ministry's headquarters, into a 101-key hotel and 23 residences for 2027, drawn by Pierre-Yves Rochon and Laura Gonzalez.

Battersea Power Station is a 42-acre, GBP 9 billion regeneration of some 3,400 homes around Giles Gilbert Scott's restored brick cathedral, with Frank Gehry's first British residential buildings — the 308 homes of Prospect Place — and Foster + Partners' roof gardens beside it. One critic states the trade plainly: the restoration was paid for by high-end building, and the affordable housing sits across the road.
Chelsea Barracks is Qatari Diar's rebuilding of twelve and a half acres between Belgravia and Chelsea as 448 homes from GBP 3.3 million, around five acres of public garden. It is held on a single source, and the record says so. Unlike Nuanu in Bali, which the register declined as a district of many developers, both of these are single estates under one master developer, and are written as one record each.

Three more countryless names, all famous enough that the reports left off where they stand. The Sherry-Netherland of 1927 made the Manhattan template: a hotel converted in 1954–55 into 165 cooperative homes above a 50-room hotel, three years before The Pierre and fifteen before The Carlyle. 111 West 57th Street is the world's slenderest skyscraper, 435 metres holding sixty homes, whose prices ranged from USD 18–57 million at launch to 7.75–66 million at opening.
The queue's third name, Twenty Grosvenor Square in Mayfair, was already held (PR-D-056): the first Four Seasons building with no hotel in it, and the model for the standalone branded residence the register now records from Bangkok to Diriyah. The intake guard refused it a second code; the existing record was given the sources found instead.

No country given, run 2 — three Aman villa collections located
Three of the queue's countryless names were resorts whose villas are sold: Amanpuri on Phuket, where Aman began in 1988 and took in its first private villas; Amanyara on Providenciales, inside an 18,000-acre reserve, with a collection drawn by Olson Kundig; and Amanzoe above Porto Heli in the Peloponnese, Ed Tuttle's colonnaded hilltop, where each villa is built to its owner's brief.
An industry account of Aman's programme makes the point the register keeps having to make: an owner buys a house, freehold or leasehold by site, with the option to let it through the resort — not a right of access to a hotel. Where the sources do not say which villas are built, as at Amanyara, the register records the status as not established.

Wadeem is not residences at all: Modon has sold more than 1,700 serviced plots on Hudayriyat Island in Abu Dhabi, on which buyers build their own villas. All eight are declined with their reasons written; a source showing a brand or a landmark standing reopens any of them.

Mandarin Oriental Residences, Boca Raton is the register's most cautionary record: announced in 2015 for 2017, unfinished in 2026, its hotel in bankruptcy and its 88 homes in a USD 417.7 million foreclosure that names the buyers as defendants.

The Residences at Sindhorn Kempinski sells on a 30-year lease in a quarter planned around a park.
Banyan Tree Residences Riverside Bangkok, sixteen metres from the river on its west bank, does not say in any source reached what its buyers hold.

The Residences at W Bali – Seminyak are 79 villas that were sold before the hotel beside them was added, and are now let as its largest rooms.
In Indonesia a foreigner cannot hold freehold land, and no source reached for these three says what title the buyers receive; each record states that it is not stated.

SO/ Uptown Dubai Residences, the top twenty-eight floors of the free zone's own tower, went from 229 homes in a 2020 update to 227 at launch; in 2023 the developer offered buyers a licence and a visa, recorded as an offer, not a rule. Address Residences Dubai Opera opened sales at a VIP evening in December 2015, cheques of AED 500,000 in hand, for handover in July 2020 — and was completed in March 2023.
Three of these four had been entered minutes earlier by a parallel session working in the same files, under codes issued first — PR-D-323, 325 and 327. The register keeps the first codes, withdraws the duplicates (PR-D-328, 329, 331) with a pointer to the survivor, and merges what the second reading added: a different count at the Ritz-Carlton, sixty-six against fifty-four, and an earlier launch at Address Opera, December 2015 against April 2017. A code is now refused to any name or alias the register already holds.
The parallel session also entered two projects this one had not reached. The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Dubai Creekside — Two hundred residences and twelve mansions with yacht berths on the Creek, in a wellness resort — is the namesake at MAG's Keturah resort that run 8 had set aside rather than merge; it now stands as its own record. Safa Two de GRISOGONO — A ruby-themed tower of studios and small apartments, linked by cable car to its twin. Both cards are that session's reading, published under the same rules.

Sources re-read: links restored to nineteen records, and five cards corrected
The sources of intake runs 1 to 4 and the four American records were read again so that each could be linked to the page actually read; nineteen records now carry exact links, a few new sources each, and — where the re-reading showed the card wrong — a correction. Sources whose pages could not be found again stay as text.
Four Seasons Private Residences Los Angeles: the card said the penthouse was asked at USD 75 million and later at USD 50 million; it in fact sold in February 2025 for USD 15 million, as an unbuilt shell, and the later USD 50 million figure was a stale repetition. FIVE Palm Jumeirah Residences: the card said Viceroy left with no reason given; the takeover was contested in the DIFC Courts, which ordered Viceroy reinstated, and then in Los Angeles. Como Residences: the AED 500 million penthouse sale is reported by several outlets, not one, though no Land Department record reaching the register shows it.
The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Georgetown: the address stands at 3150 South Street in five sources against 3100 in one, and the architect itself dates the incinerator to 1932. Burj Binghatti Jacob & Co Residences gains a third height, 595 metres, from the encyclopaedia's own data record; W Residences Al Marjan Island and Four Seasons Private Residences Boston gain the licensors' disclaimers, and Hyde Residences Dubai Hills its interior designer and a second floor count.

Research intake, run 7 — Rosewood arrives, and two brands with namesakes
From this run every source on a record's page is a link to the page actually read. Rosewood Residences Dubai — sixty-three homes and five beach villas beside Rosewood's first hotel in the city — is priced from AED 18.9 million at one broker and AED 28.7 million at another, with a penthouse listed at AED 483.8 million; the card records the listing as an asking figure, not a sale.
Two brands in this run have namesakes. The St. Regis Residences, Downtown Dubai — two art-deco towers by the Opera — shares its name with a second Emaar St. Regis building on Financial Center Road, and one portal merges them; the brokers' 'two 40-storey towers' cannot be the developer's towers of 262 and 171 metres. W Residences at Dubai Harbour, over 400 homes around a 200-metre pool, is not Dar Al Arkan's W Residences Dubai-Downtown; its own completion year is 2027 in Arada's announcement and 2028 in the encyclopaedia's account of what Arada said.

Research intake, run 6 — a museum as a brand, and a palace on the auction block
ORLA, Foster + Partners' ninety-one residences at the apex of the Palm, has its height, count and handover each published two or three ways, and one broker's entry price of AED 72 million for a two-bedroom sits beside two others near AED 18–20 million; a second building, ORLA Infinity, is held within the record until a second source establishes it. Louvre Abu Dhabi Residences are the first homes to carry a museum's name — owners' membership is free entry to the Louvre next door — and add a licensor the register had not held: after a football club and a beach club, a museum.
Mandarin Oriental Residences on Saadiyat, 226 furnished homes by Bjarke Ingels, came with two brokers' errors now on the card rather than in it: a residency claim placed in the wrong emirate, and a price of AED 0.00. Palazzo Versace Dubai took eight years to build and has been on the auction block since 2024, its asking price falling from about AED 1.4 billion to a base bid of AED 600 million. Saadiyat Grove, named in the same reports, is an AED 8 billion master community, not a development; it is declined with that reason, and its branded component, the Louvre residences, is held on its own.

Research intake, run 5 — a count that fell, a name used twice, and a price given twice on one page
SLS Residences The Palm is Ennismore's first building with no hotel in it — 113 homes across the Palm's West Crescent — and a research platform gives its launch price as AED 7 million and, lower on the same page, AED 9 million. Kempinski Marina Residences lost thirty-six homes between the brand's announcement in February 2024 (453) and the sales launch in May (417), and its completion slipped a year in the same three months; the sales agent's claim of AED 1 billion sold in 48 hours is recorded as the agent's.
Vida Residences Hillside shares its name with an earlier Emaar Vida building in the same community, and brokers mix the two; the register holds only Hillside and sets the other's figures aside. DAMAC Maison Privé is furnished hotel apartments in twin towers on the canal, run by the developer's own hotel brand, at about AED 1.27 million a sale — recorded with its prices so it is not mistaken for a trophy address. One source gives it six units, plainly an error, and says so on the card.

Research intake, run 4 — a members-only estate, a studio tower, a relaunch, and a name that is not a project
Two ends of the branded market in one run. Discovery Dunes, in Dubai South, admits only owners and only by invitation — 340 homes and plots from USD 7.5 million to about USD 50 million around a Tom Fazio course. Its own leading source gives 198 villas and 132 apartments, which make 330, not 340; two of the others are sponsored content, and the card says so. Fashionz by Danube is 790 furnished studios and apartments from AED 850,000 under the FashionTV name, with a third of the price due after the keys; its completion is published four ways.
Kempinski Residences The Creek began in 2017 as La Reserve Residences and took the Kempinski name in 2022 — a brand arriving at a building already rising; its count is 276, 280 or 285. The name Jumeirah Luxury Living from Knight Frank's Dubai report turned out to name no single project and stays in the queue unresolved; the search for it found Jumeirah Residences Asora Bay, thirty-five homes terraced down to a private beach at La Mer, added on its own sources and not pinned on the name it was found beside.

Research intake, run 3 — three more, and one declined
Three more names from the Dubai and global reports were checked and written; a fourth was declined. Hyde Residences Dubai Hills, the first lifestyle-branded building in its community, has its handover published six ways across seven sources in a year, and carries the brand owner's disclaimer: Accor states it neither owns, develops nor sells the residences its brands appear on. Beachgate by Address is Emaar's second Address tower on its own beachfront — 37 storeys in three sources, 45 in one, and sold out by one broker's account.
W Residences Al Marjan Island, 202 homes beside a W hotel in Ras Al Khaimah, faces the USD 5.1 billion Wynn resort due in 2027; its completion moved a full year between listings, and its developer's name differs between a page's text and its web address. Ciel, in Dubai Marina, was declined: it is an all-hotel tower of 1,004 keys, the world's tallest hotel, sold to investors as hotel rooms, not homes. Its height is 377 metres to its owner and brand, 365 to one research platform and 357 to one trade title.

Research intake, run 2 — four more from Dubai
Four names from the Dubai reports, each checked against independent sources and written the same day. FIVE Palm Jumeirah opened on 31 March 2017 as a Viceroy and was taken back by its owner within three months; the departure is kept on the record rather than lost in the renaming. Address Residences The Bay is Emaar's own brand on Emaar's own beachfront; its entry price is published four ways and its completion three, and no source gives how many homes it holds.
Como Residences, Nakheel's 300-metre tower on the Palm, carries the run's loudest disagreement: one research platform reports the penthouse sold for AED 500 million, a brokerage lists it at up to AED 250 million. Neither is a registered transaction, and the card says so. The Library holds COMO Hotels and Resorts; nothing connects that group to this tower, and the record carries no brand. Karl Lagerfeld Villas in Meydan — fifty-one villas each laid out around a runway — is by the sources' count the brand's third residential project, and the register already holds one of the others, in Marbella.

Research intake, run 1 — four from Dubai
The first run of the queue, each name checked and written in the same pass. Armani Beach Residences is the first residential building Giorgio Armani and Tadao Ando have made together, fifty-three homes on the Palm's outer crescent. AVA is seventeen full-floor residences beside One at Palm Jumeirah, with its height, its start and its handover each published more than one way.
Burj Binghatti and Franck Muller Aeternitas claim the same title from different heights: the first, 557 metres, the tallest residential building in the world; the second, 450 metres, the tallest branded residential tower. Aeternitas is a stalled tower revived under a watchmaker's name; Burj Binghatti's height, floor count and schedule vary by source, and a July 2026 headline speaks of a final decision still to come. One card first cited the wrong report for its project — the page had crossed over from its neighbour — and was corrected before publication.

Research: thirty-one reports catalogued, three hundred and eighteen names read
Thirty-one branded-residence reports — Savills, Knight Frank, C9 Hotelworks, HVS, JLL, REIDIN, Graham Associates, Gokstad; 444 pages from 2014 to 2026 — are now a section of the site, Research. The register catalogues them as sources and links to each publisher's own copy; it does not republish them.
The projects the reports name were read against the register. Thirty-five carry the same name as a record; fifteen more are records held under another name — Bulgari Resort & Residences Dubai is spelled Bvlgari here, Six Senses Grenada is Six Senses La Sagesse — confirmed against brand, city and district, because brand alone matched Four Seasons Nashville to The Surf Club. The rest form an intake queue by country. A place in the queue is not a finding that the register lacks the project.

Four American records written: Washington, Georgetown, Boston, Los Angeles
The Ritz-Carlton's West End building in Washington — a hotel and two residential towers on one block, 2000 — is given as 161 and 162 homes, and its club under three names from three operators. Georgetown, from the same 1998 franchise deal, turned out to be a separate development: twenty-eight homes in a converted incinerator whose smokestack became a dining room, now its own record, with its address, its building date and its developer each published two ways.
Henry N. Cobb's One Dalton in Boston opened in May 2019 with 160 residences above a Four Seasons; six years on, the developer still held about eighteen. In Los Angeles, Four Seasons' first standalone residences in North America: its penthouse was shown at USD 75 million in 2022 and asked USD 50 million in 2025 — recorded as two figures with two dates, not as a reduction.

Investment migration: the rule and the facts it turns on
The register swept every jurisdiction where buying a residence can bear on a passport or a residence permit — the Caribbean citizenship programmes, Türkiye, Egypt, the Gulf, the European golden visas and their closures — and first recorded a verdict on each development. The House ruled against the verdict: eligibility attaches to a sale, not to a building, and the register is not immigration counsel. A development in Limassol conferred residence on its first buyers and confers nothing on the next.
So each jurisdiction's rule now lives once, on its country page and on Investment migration, with the date it was checked and where the sources disagree; each record carries only the facts the rule turns on — entry price, seller, first sale, fractional sale, construction status — each dated and sourced. Forty-two rules are filed. The reader adds them up.
