Coldwell Banker Opens Its First Office in Belgium

Located in the prestigious residential neighborhood of Uccle, this opening represents a key milestone in the expansion strategy, and its location—in one of Brussels’ most exclusive and desirable areas—reinforces the commitment to providing exceptional real estate services in prime residential enclaves. The new office, situated at Chaussée de Saint-Job 546 – 1180 Uccle, will be led by Julian Tuchnaider and Christophe de Mahieu, two professionals with extensive experience in the high-end real estate sector. Accompanied by a team of five highly qualified advisors, this marks the beginning of a new chapter in Belgium, strengthening the brand’s presence in the heart of Western Europe.

Belgium represents a key strategic hub. It is much more than the political heart of Europe; it is a country with a rich history, a strong economy, and a high standard of living. Its multilingual and multicultural character makes it an ideal destination for both investors and international families seeking stability, connectivity, and world-class education. Furthermore, its excellent transport network allows travel to cities such as Paris, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, or London in just a few hours, reinforcing its position as a strategic center for business and international relations.

Coldwell Banker® Strengthens Its Presence in Puerto Rico with a New Franchise in San Juan

Coldwell Banker® expands its footprint in the Caribbean with the opening of a new franchise in Puerto Rico. Located in the financial heart of San Juan, in Hato Rey, the new Coldwell Banker Puerto Rico office is led by renowned entrepreneur Eric Maldonado, who serves as founder and president, alongside vice president Mike Azimi. Together, they head a boutique team of five advisors specializing in luxury properties and investment opportunities.

This franchise launch comes at a very favorable time for Puerto Rico’s real estate sector. The island has positioned itself as one of the most attractive markets in the Caribbean, not only for its landscapes and climate but also due to a series of economic and social factors that have driven the arrival of new residents and investors. In recent years, programs such as Act 60 have been key in attracting entrepreneurs, executives, and high-level professionals seeking to settle on the island thanks to its tax benefits. These incentives have fueled demand for luxury residences, waterfront properties, and exclusive developments—particularly from buyers coming from the United States, Europe, and Latin America.
