A Look at News Corp's New Luxury Real Estate Portal

Luxury real estate enthusiasts, rejoice! There's a slick, new website in town where you can indulge your tastes for high-end property listings.

Dow Jones, Move Inc.'s fellow News Corp subsidiary, launched a luxury property portal on Friday called Mansion Global. The site pairs high-end property listings from around the world with comprehensive news and data, a combination meant to aid buyers in making smart purchase decisions and engage luxury real estate fans.

Mansion Global will feature content from News Corp publications like The Wall Street Journal, Barron's, realtor.com, and more. The site will offer original editorial features as well, like:

• Indicator Insights - Market data relevant to global buyers
• Mansion Essentials - A look at high-end amenities that raise property values
• Mansions New to the Market - Zeroing in on the "most intriguing listings"
• Markets on the Verge - Advising property investors on up-and-coming markets

News Corp. also plans to offer enhanced listings data, video, interactive maps, personalization and more on Mansion Global in the coming weeks.

True to its global focus, the site will launch in English, Spanish and Chinese. "There has been an enormous surge of interest - and money - into international real estate over the past few years," said Trevor Fellows, Global Head of Advertising Sales for The Wall Street Journal, in a statement. Fellows' team will oversee sales for Mansion Global.

The portal will also act as a showcase to help new developments attract foreign investors. "New construction is a key element of the luxury home sector globally," said Fellows. U.S. real estate developer Extell Development Company is one of Mansion Global's launch partners, along with Sotheby's International Realty, and luxury appliance brands Sub-Zero and Wolf.

REA Group Limited in Australia and PropTiger.com in India, international portals in which News Corp owns a stake, will also provide select listings to Mansion Global.
