The quarterly publication, once a catalogue of homes offered for sale worldwide, now features articles by internationally respected journalists, intimate views of the luxury lifestyles of renowned global personalities and vibrant photography all portrayed in a new and sophisticated design aesthetic.
The expanded magazine’s distribution includes Christie’s art house top clients, 125 affiliated brokerages globally, as well as high-end newsstands and bookstores, five star hotel lobbies and airports’ private lounges across the world. Customer publishing agency, August Media, was appointed to manage the re-design as well as bring in stronger editorial content with luxury features on Christie’s art, insider specialist advice and luxury property market news.
Contributors to the Christie’s International Real Estate summer issue include Alastair Clements and Claire Wrathall, writers whose work has appeared in The New York Times and Financial Times, among others. Fashion expert and global entrepreneur India Hicks wrote a piece on island living in the Bahamas, with other stories exploring vineyard ownership, vintage car racing, the buying power of the Russian elite, and a ‘Style Icon’ page paying homage to Christie’s client Yves St. Laurent.
The publication has increased in size to over 240 pages of similar lifestyle editorial, market trends, art insights, and global events to complement the more than 150 extraordinary homes listed for sale by the Exclusive Affiliates of Christie’s International Real Estate.

“We are thrilled with our new magazine,” says Neil Palmer, CEO of Christie’s International Real Estate. “The elegant design and powerful images coupled with feature stories, written by internationally-regarded journalists, are a perfect complement to the world’s most beautiful homes, represented by our luxury network.”
“A trust mark of the Christie’s brand is passionate expertise,” adds Neil. “Our new magazine certainly embraces that mandate with stories that are not only authoritative but exceptionally well written. For the first time, the magazine will be available in strategic locations in the Middle East and Asia to target the rapidly growing demographic of ultra-high net worth real estate purchasers in these regions. We have also expanded our reach further into Europe and Central and South America to ensure we are visible to a global audience. What we have created is a global view of prevailing luxury lifestyle trends which is engaging with a discerning international readership.”
The new magazine’s navigation is unique with defined geographical sections highlighting the luxury lifestyles in international cities such as Hong Kong, London, New York, Toronto and top destinations in South America. This creates the perfect editorial environment to fully appreciate the beautiful homes offered for sale worldwide, say the publishers.
