As international wealth continues to shape the world's leading residential markets, REDD CEO Russell Smithers' recent visit to New York reinforces the importance of global relationships and understanding the evolving expectations of international buyers.
During his visit, Russell attended UPFRONTS New York, an exclusive, invitation-only luxury real estate summit held at The Frick Collection on Fifth Avenue. Hosted by The Wall Street Journal, the event brought together leading international developers, brokers, architects and investors to showcase exceptional properties and explore the future of global luxury real estate.
London and New York remain two of the world's most influential centres for wealth, investment and prime residential property. Both attract an international audience seeking exceptional homes, prestigious addresses and long-term value.
For REDD, maintaining relationships across these key markets is central to understanding the priorities of ultra-high-net-worth individuals and family offices, whose property interests increasingly span multiple international locations.
While London and New York offer distinct residential markets, buyers share many of the same expectations: outstanding architecture and design, privacy, security and seamless property management. These priorities are reflected in REDD's approach to developing and managing exceptional homes across prime central London.
A prime example is One Palace Green, our recently unveiled landmark development on Kensington Palace Gardens. Following five years of meticulous restoration, the Grade II* listed Arts & Crafts mansion has been transformed into six exceptional residences.
Russell's visit reinforces the importance of maintaining an international perspective, understanding evolving buyer expectations and strengthening relationships across the world's leading wealth centres.
For us, the ambition remains unchanged: to create, develop and manage exceptional homes for an increasingly global private client audience.
