Dow Jones launches luxury real estate site

Dow Jones & Co. announced Friday the launch of Mansion Global, a standalone, global luxury real estate site that includes high-end property listings from around the world with news and data.

Mansion Global is a Dow Jones product and is independent from The Wall Street Journal and its Mansion real estate section.

Mansion Global’s content will be buyer-focused, providing news for home hunters, emphasizing market data and trends. The site will also include relevant articles from The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s, The Times of London, The Sunday Times, The Australian and Realtor.com.

The site will include recurring, original editorial features, such as Indicator Insights: The market data that matter for global property buyers; Mansion Essentials: Which high-end amenities raise property values; Mansions New to the Market: Inside the most intriguing listings on Mansion Global; and a Special Report – Markets on the Verge: Where property investors should be looking next.

It is unclear who will produce the original editorial content.

In the coming weeks, Mansion Global will feature enhanced listings data, video, and interactive maps.
