When Christine Leja and Andree Mienkus began working in Santa Catalina more than 20 years ago, the Palma neighbourhood was very different from the cosmopolitan lifestyle destination it is today. Drawn to its fisherman’s houses, wide streets, natural light and distinctive character, they saw potential where others still needed convincing.
In this episode, Helen speaks to the German couple behind bconnected about vision, courage, partnership and knowing when it is time to begin a new chapter.
In this episode, they discuss:
How Christine and Andree met and began building bconnected together
Their role in the transformation of Santa Catalina
Why the yachting community became their first important market
How Swedish buyers discovered the neighbourhood
The concept stores that brought new daytime energy to the area
Their bold decision to leave Santa Catalina during the pandemic
Reinventing bconnected from their new base in Bendinat
Combining real estate, architecture and interior design
How Mallorca’s property market has changed over three decades
Why the island continues to attract buyers from around the world
From the early days of Santa Catalina to bconnected’s evolution into an integrated property and design company, Christine and Andree share what it takes to recognise potential, remain true to your values and keep moving forward.
