Leading luxury real estate brand Christie’s International Real Estate announces its expansion into Spain’s capital city with the launch of Christie’s International Real Estate Madrid. The new firm looks to capitalize on the growing interest in high-end real estate in Madrid, where luxury property prices have shown sustained increases driven by a robust economy, labor market stability, and significant foreign investment.
Leadership at Christie’s International Real Estate Madrid
Christie’s International Real Estate Madrid will be led by owner/CEO Hans Veenhuijsen and Managing Director/partner Olga García Hernández, industry leaders with deep connections in the country’s luxury real estate market. As the current owner of Christie’s International Real Estate Costa del Sol in Marbella and Málaga, Veenhuijsen brings both an expert understanding of the Spanish real estate market and the Christie’s International Real Estate network to his role. García Hernández brings more than two decades of experience in Madrid’s luxury real estate sector, including founding a boutique relocation firm with offices in Madrid and Paris. She also serves on the Board of Directors of Women in Real Estate Spain (WIRES).
Prime Luxury Neighborhoods
The brokerage will focus on Madrid’s most prestigious neighborhoods, including Salamanca, Retiro, Chamberí, Chamartín, and Justicia, where property prices range from €8,000 to €22,000/m² ($8,850/sqft to $24,340/sqft).
Global Reach and Unmatched Exposure
As an affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate, the Madrid office will offer both national and international exposure for its listings through the brand’s global network, with affiliates in nearly 50 countries. Clients will also benefit from exclusive marketing partnerships and a connection with Christie’s auction house for the sale of fine art and luxury goods.
Flagship Office in Recoletos
Christie’s International Real Estate Madrid’s flagship office will open in September at No. 12 Núñez de Balboa Street, located in the upscale Recoletos neighborhood. The office will provide a personalized experience for clients across three levels, featuring elegant decor and ample natural light, with dedicated event spaces and private meeting rooms.
Madrid’s Thriving Luxury Real Estate Market
With increasing demand for high-end properties driven by population growth and foreign investment, particularly from Latin America, Madrid has proven resilient to global economic fluctuations. The luxury market continues to experience year-on-year price growth, with many transactions conducted in cash.
Future Growth and Market Leadership
“Madrid’s luxury real estate market is primed for continued growth, thanks to strong economic and demographic trends,” said Veenhuijsen. “Christie’s global brand recognition and exclusive offerings will help us quickly establish a leading position in this market.”
Elevating the Luxury Real Estate Experience
“Our unmatched exclusivity and refined client experience will elevate luxury real estate in Madrid,” said García Hernández. “As one of Europe’s most dynamic cities, Madrid attracts buyers and sellers seeking the level of service only Christie’s International Real Estate can provide.”
