Intric Global, Henley & Partners launch cross-border housing and residency collaboration

Intric Global and Henley & Partners have formed a collaboration to help internationally mobile families make real estate, residency and education decisions together. The first phase focuses on Indian high net worth families, with research, podcast episodes and advisory briefings rolling out through the second half of 2026.

Why it matters: - Internationally mobile families often make residency, education and property decisions in the same year. - Intric Global and Henley & Partners are trying to bring those choices into one advisory process instead of splitting them across separate specialists. - The collaboration targets families weighing where to live, where to invest and how to preserve optionality across borders.

What happened: - Intric Global and Henley & Partners announced a collaboration on Aug. 26, 2026. - Intric Global is a Singapore-based private network for cross-border real estate investment. - Henley & Partners advises on residence and citizenship by investment. - The partnership combines Henley & Partners’ residence and citizenship advisory with Intric’s intelligence and developer curation across 70+ residential markets. - The firms said the programme will run through the second half of 2026.

The details: - Joint research will begin with The Global Indian Family, a co-authored briefing on how Indian high net worth families are structuring capital, residency and education decisions across the United States, Portugal, the United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom. - Additional briefings covering other corridors are planned. - A podcast series on Own the World, hosted by Abhii Dabas, will support the collaboration. - The first podcast episode features Yudhi Mapara, Associate Director at Henley & Partners India, discussing non-resident Indian capital and the global Indian family. - The second episode features Tess Wilkins, Head of Education at Henley & Partners, on studying abroad and the U.S. education pathway. - The collaboration also includes co-authored articles, with Abhii Dabas contributing to Henley & Partners and Henley & Partners contributing to the Intric Intelligence Library. - Joint briefing sessions for advisors and families across the firms’ shared markets are set to begin. - The Global Indian Family briefing is available on the Intric website. - The first podcast episode is available on podcast platforms. - Media references to the research should go through the media contacts listed by the companies.

Between the lines: - The first phase centers on Indian high net worth families, one of the fastest-growing internationally mobile cohorts. - The firms are framing the effort around different family goals, not a single investment thesis. - The United States is positioned mainly as an education route, with EB-5 used by families focused on university placement and long-term optionality for children. - Portugal remains a European route through the qualifying investment fund subscription after the property acquisition option closed in 2023. - The United Arab Emirates continues to attract Indian families through the Golden Visa framework, supported by proximity, tax position and an established Indian community. - The United Kingdom remains an education and capital preservation anchor, but property purchase there does not provide residency or visa rights. - Abhii Dabas said families often begin with children, taxes or business geography, and the jurisdiction follows from those priorities. - Yudhi Mapara said Indian families are thinking more holistically about where they live, educate children, invest and build long-term optionality. - Abhii Dabas has evaluated real estate investment conditions in more than 40 countries over two decades and hosts the Own the World podcast for global investors. - Henley & Partners says it operates across more than 60 countries with 70+ offices worldwide and a government advisory practice.

What's next: - Further research briefings are planned beyond the initial four corridors. - More podcast episodes are expected as the collaboration expands through the second half of 2026. - The firms will continue joint briefings for advisors and families in shared markets.

The bottom line: - The collaboration is designed to put residency and real estate decisions in the same conversation for globally mobile families, starting with Indian high net worth clients.
