London’s Belgravia and Westminster: A real estate haven of timeless elegance and unmatched prestige

Belgravia

Belgravia, a picturesque neighbourhood in the core of London, has long captured the hearts of those seeking refinement and tranquility. Renowned for its exquisite architecture, charming villages and seamless connectivity to the vibrant West End and central London, Belgravia has become a cherished residential oasis. To delve deeper into the allure of this remarkable district, we turn to Christian Warman, Partner at Tedworth Property, and Guy Bradshaw, Director – Sales, United Kingdom Sotheby’s International Realty who offer their valuable insights.

Christian explains, “People love Belgravia because of its architecture, its villages, and its connectivity to the West End and central London.” The allure lies in its tranquil residential environment, offering a serene atmosphere distinct from the mixed-use nature of neighbouring Mayfair. Belgravia showcases uniform Thomas Cubitt architecture and picturesque garden squares, with Belgrave Square being a well-kept secret cherished by those “in-the-know.” Spanning an impressive 200 × 200 metres (4.9 acres), Belgrave Square offers amenities such as a tennis court, a children’s play area, and a dog-friendly space, all surrounded by beautiful plants and statues.

The main property types in Belgravia predominantly consist of period homes, preserving the neighbourhood’s timeless charm. Christian Warman

points out that while there are a few new developments such as Ebury Square, Grosvenor Crescent, and the Peninsula, most properties embrace the classic elegance of the area. South Belgravia boasts smaller cottages like the charming Chester Cottages, alongside mews houses like Chesham Mews and grand townhouses. The trend of converting properties into apartments is prominent, especially in sought-after locations like Eaton Square and Eaton Place. Lateral apartments that span multiple buildings, such as the illustrious Chesham Street, are highly coveted by discerning buyers.

When it comes to the budget required for a two-bedroom or larger property in Belgravia, Christian provides valuable insight. He states, “The minimum budget for a two-bedroom property in Belgravia is £600,000, but this will be for a short lease in Eaton Square. For a

long lease, property prices start at £1 million and can exceed £12 million, even for two bedrooms.” Such price ranges reflect the exclusivity and desirability associated with this esteemed neighbourhood.

For those seeking places to unwind, Guy recommends two popular destinations in Belgravia. “Motcomb Street and Elizabeth Street” are renowned for their vibrant atmosphere and offer an array of options for indulging in fine dining experiences. Christian says, “The culinary landscape includes renowned restaurants like Olivocarne, Olivetto, Motcombs, Alfred Tennyson, and Thomas Cubitt.” Furthermore, the recent addition of The Beaverbrook on Sloane Street, The Pantechnicon, and the forthcoming opening of Costes in Sloane Square will undoubtedly elevate the culinary scene and provide residents and visitors with a wide range of exceptional choices.

Regarding the future prospects of properties and property prices in Belgravia, Christian emphasises the preservation of the area’s aesthetics and heritage. The Grosvenor Estate, the primary landlord, along with the Westminster local authority and English Heritage, actively collaborate to safeguard the neighbourhood’s distinctive character. The designated conservation areas and stringent planning processes ensure that Belgravia will retain its familiar ambiance for many decades to come. Collaborative efforts are also underway to regenerate areas like Newson’s Yard and Eccleston Yards, breathing new life into the neighbourhood.

Guy adds to the optimistic outlook, highlighting the impact of the soon-to-open Peninsula Hotel on the local area. This exciting addition is expected to enhance the desirability and elevate the appeal of Belgravia, further solidifying its status as one of London’s premier residential destinations.

Westminster

Westminster, a district steeped in history and elegance, holds a magnetic appeal for residents and visitors alike. Yolanda Jacob, Sales Director at Berkeley St Edward, highlights the area’s captivating attributes: “Westminster is renowned as London’s seat of power, politics, and royalty,” she says. The district’s remarkable landmarks, including The Palace of Westminster, Banqueting House, and Westminster Abbey, exude a sense of grandeur and heritage. The allure of Westminster extends beyond its history, with its proximity to the River Thames and desirable neighbourhoods like Belgravia, Knightsbridge, and Mayfair.

Westminster’s property landscape reflects its rich past, with historic Edwardian and Victorian mansion blocks transformed into apartments. Yolanda describes the area’s diverse offerings, stating, “You will also find a number of low-rise mews houses and terraced streets, alongside a handful of new-build high-rise apartment blocks overlooking the river.”

When it comes to unwinding, Liam Monaghan, Managing Director at London Central Portfolio, points out the district’s popular hotspots: “Some of the most popular dining destinations include The Cinnamon Club, Roux at Parliament Square, and the newly opened Nordic restaurant, Ekstedt.” For relaxation, residents can indulge in the exceptional spa at The Corinthia, hailed as one of Europe’s finest.

Looking towards the future, Yolanda sheds light on the property development and prices in Westminster: “Due to the housing density and high-profile nature of the area, future development opportunities in Westminster are slim.” With limited available land, the demand for housing is expected to drive property prices higher. Knight Frank’s housing market

forecast supports this, projecting a growth rate of 8.5% in Prime Central London over the next five years. Liam’s analysis emphasises the desirability of Westminster as a prime location within Central London: “It is home to iconic sights such as Parliament, Big Ben, and Buckingham Palace.” The district’s appeal spans across different buyer profiles, from pied-à-terre seekers to those drawn to its rich history and Georgian architecture. Liam adds, “Westminster is a great option with its close proximity to the Westminster political village, the financial district, and the West End.”

Regarding property types, Liam highlights the prevalence of large lateral apartments and townhouses in heritage buildings. Desirable streets such as St John’s Smith Square and Lord North Street witness high demand. For apartment hunters, a budget of around

£1 million is advisable, while those seeking houses should prepare a budget of £3 million or more.

In terms of property price trends, Liam shares valuable insights: “House prices in Westminster rose by +0.1% over the last 12 months but are around 5.5% below 2015 peak prices.” Apartments experienced a slight drop, presenting opportunities for buyers looking for prime real estate at discounted prices.

As the market gains momentum, both domestically and internationally, upward pressure on property prices is expected due to increased demand and limited supply. Liam highlights the positive indicators, including stabilising mortgage rates and the return of city workers to their offices, driving a renewed interest in London living.

Westminster’s enduring appeal, rich heritage, and prime location make it a captivating choice for property buyers. With its iconic landmarks, exceptional dining options, and proximity to key areas, Westminster stands as a timeless jewel in London’s property market, poised for a promising future.

Saudi Arabia’s exquisite property market unveiled

Saudi Arabia, a country renowned for its rich history, dynamic culture and economic prowess, has firmly established itself as a key player in the global luxury property market. With a flourishing economy and a rising population of affluent individuals, the Kingdom is witnessing an unprecedented demand for extravagant residences that redefine the concept of luxury living.

Erick Knaider, Managing Partner, Saudi Arabia Sotheby’s International Realty gives us more insight into the facets of Saudi Arabia’s luxury property market…

“Saudi Arabia is currently going through major internal redevelopment plans and gearing up towards major change that is coming as a result of the country’s Vision 2030 plan. The country is diversifying away from its oil economy and real estate sits at the very heart of this strategy with the projected demand for real estate to grow significantly in the years to come.

“The red sea coastline is certainly getting a lot of attention with projects like Neom, Trojena and The Line coming up, but investors are also looking at major developments in the capital and major cities in the Kingdom. The country is at a turning point as far as real estate investments are concerned. An opportunity like this doesn’t present itself every day.

Branded and luxurious properties are in short supply and with the Kingdom’s plan to transform the country into a major economic

and financial hub, we only see the popularity of this type of properties increase.

“Currently, there are restrictions for foreigners looking to purchase a property here. They are allowed to buy properties in the Kingdom with a few exceptions in terms of areas but have to go through an approval process.

“A lot of developers are clearly gearing up towards a more modern, upscale type of development as this is where demand seems to be going, and in terms of the future of the property market here, residences are currently in short supply with an outlook on demand that looks very promising. We think the outlook for

Saudi Arabia’s ascent in the global luxury property market is undeniable. With its flourishing economy, diverse locations, and ambitious Vision 2030 plan, the Kingdom is poised for transformation and is attracting significant attention from investors around the world.

As Erick Knaider, Managing Partner at Saudi Arabia Sotheby’s International Realty highlights the demand for properties is on the rise, and with the Kingdom’s vision to become a major economic and financial hub, the popularity of such properties is only expected to grow.

A-interiors unveils the Ammariyah Farm Villa in Riyadh

raditional with a twist epitomises A-Interiors’ latest project as award-winning designer Anoud Bint Khalid playfully balances modern minimalism with warm earthy textiles to create a farmhouse on the fringe of Riyadh’s desert. It is sleek without feeling stuffy and welcoming without feeling worn.

The sheer scale of the interior, light and airy as the rooms stretch both outwards and upwards, is exaggerated by the use of white on the walls and floors. This carte blanche allows every artfully selected piece to stand out in its own glory. Deep reds interwoven in carpets, reflecting the rich sands of the Sahara, draw the eye downward, inviting you to bask in their hand-made intricacy. Woven palm baskets, sourced from across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the continent of Africa, along with colourful hand-crafted goods, thoughtfully occupy shelves and walls, paying tribute to the owner’s Arabic roots.

Expansive white couches create a sense of peace as the eyes find moments to rest while gliding across the rooms. Natural materials further ground the farmhouse, with deep woods, lush greens, and vintage-aged furniture and doors that serve as anchors, tipping the design from being overly bright to just right.

Hanging lanterns and basket lighting effortlessly illuminate the living and dining areas, subtly reinforcing the

sense of traditionalism while maintaining the contemporary core. Crisp, clean white lines juxtapose with dark, rounded circles, proving that when executed correctly, opposites can complement rather than contradict. This clever balance extends to the guest bathrooms, where an exposed natural stone wall proudly stands next to a modern double sink.

Imposing yet delicately etched ‘mashrabiyas’ span the space, from windows to hangings, creating shadows that filter sunlight into mesmerising rays and patterns on the walls. Sadu textiles embrace cushions and delicately adorn dining chairs, further paying homage to the farmhouse’s Saudi origins.

Mirroring the fusion of contemporary and traditional, interior designer Anoud playfully brings the exterior indoors as palm trees loom to the side of the living space, cheekily providing shade in a bathroom. Inspired by the house’s location amidst nature, surrounded by mountains, palm trees, and farms, Anoud carefully respects the environment and integrates it into the design, creating a symbiotic relationship.

This continuous intertwining of opposites defines Anoud’s design ethos, and the farmhouse stands as a testament to her distinctive style—constantly seeking to redefine the old, making it something new while enduring the test of time.

hen it comes to residential interiors, finding the perfect balance between functionality and aesthetics is a challenge that every designer faces. In the case of this particular project, the inspiration behind the design stemmed from the architectural brilliance, soaring ceiling heights, and expansive spaces that lay the foundation for a truly remarkable living experience.

Approaching the design process required a meticulous and methodical approach. The journey began with a deep study of the basic concept, delving into its intricate details and identifying the key elements that would shape the overall style. By understanding the merits of the project, M Interior were able to take a comprehensive approach in selecting the most suitable furniture, accessories, and painting companies to bring this vision to life.

One of the most important aspects M Interior wanted to highlight in the design was the grand entrance. With its soaring ceiling height and central location within the house, it serves as the focal point that effortlessly draws attention. The placement of rooms on the ground floor, all overlooking this magnificent entrance, adds an element of grandeur and ensures a cohesive flow throughout the interior.

Incorporating the client’s personal taste and preferences was paramount in creating a space that truly resonates with their vision. Through detailed discussions and a carefully

A residential interior designed to impress

crafted questionnaire, M Interior gained valuable insights into the client’s desires and requirements for each corner of the project. This allowed M Interior to tailor the design to the clients’ unique style and create a personalised sanctuary they can call home.

Achieving a cohesive flow between the different areas and spaces within the interior was a top priority. By standardising colours and materials, M Interior established a harmonious connection that seamlessly connects one space to another. This not only creates a sense of continuity but also enhances the overall aesthetic appeal of the interior.

The carefully selected colour palette played a significant role in shaping the ambiance of the residence. Drawing inspiration from the natural colours found in the external facade, M Interior embraced the beauty of earthy tones and relied on the richness of stone to set the tone. This brought a sense of warmth and tranquility, creating an inviting atmosphere throughout the entire space.

In the end, this residential interior stands as a testament to the brilliance of design. From the initial stages of inspiration to the final touches, every aspect has been crafted to create a living space that harmoniously blends functionality, aesthetics, and the unique personality of its inhabitants.

AFUSIONStunning

esigned by Lori Morris, Regency Renegade’s design inspiration centred on a timeless black and white theme, symbolising elegance, stability, and longevity. To infuse vibrancy, a colour palette of greens, golds, and greys, complemented by various metals, was carefully interwoven – a distinctive trademark of Lori Morris – to create a captivating dance of subtlety and sparkle.

The primary goal was to fashion a contemporary and entertaining residence seamlessly tailored to the client’s lifestyle and functional needs. From the moment one steps into the exquisite entry area, the house unfolds as a captivating journey through the piano lounge, cocktail lounge, stunning office space, kitchen and beyond. Each space was meticulously designed to maintain a harmonious balance of aesthetics and functionality, creating a cohesive experience throughout.

The design team recognised that true happiness within a space lies in its ability to meet the family’s requirements. Therefore, equal importance was given to both functionality and aesthetics. Every aspect of the design was meticulously considered to ensure not only visual appeal but also effective utilisation of space.

The dominant black and white colour scheme served as a consistent backdrop, providing a canvas for integrating exquisite art pieces featuring diverse glasses, metals and fabrics. The result was a symphony of textures and visual interest that embodied the desired luxurymeets-deco aesthetic.

Female artists are in the limelight. Andrea Marechal Watson looks at major shows in Metz, New York, Bilbao and London

Suzanne Valadon:

A WORLD  ONE ’ S OWN

The title of the new exhibition at the Centre Pompidou Metz is a reference to Virginia Woolf’s 1929 opus A Room of One’s Own, which commented on the restrictions imposed on female artists by the lack of a private space in which they could work.

French artist, Suzanne Valadon (18651938), had already broken free from suchlike restraints, not only in defining her own space but also the material suitable for a female to paint. In 1912 she began to paint a series of large outdoor nudes – an area previously reserved for males – which caused some consternation at the time. Valadon’s career – she was first a model before turning to painting – as well as her independence from avant-garde movements, held her reputation back. She was an ‘outsider’ but many critics applauded her work and one Bernard Dorival described her as the “most virile –and greatest – of all women painters”.

This large retrospective assembles paintings, drawings and other material from world collections to offer as complete an overview of Valadon as possible.

It is remarkable that institutions that formerly obscured the work of females such as Valadon are now so active in promoting the very works they buried. The resolutely raw and uncompromisingly painted nudes seen here are one result.

Although free and independent, she was part of the artistic constellation of her time, bridging one century and the next. She

adopted her friend Degas’s etching technique and borrowed Renoir’s iridescent effects in pastel. She was also influenced by the symbolist work of Puvis de Chavannes, whose refusal to bend to the tide of realism echoed her own spirit.

Valadon’s strength was this artistic independence: she could embrace abstraction and Cubism but also championed figurative painting.

The 200 works in the exhibition (50 from the Musée National d’Art Modern alone) include loans from the Musée d’Orsay and Metropolitan Museum of Art. Such rich provenances bear witness to the eclecticism of her work.

Until 11th September at the Centre Pompidou Metz, France

JAUNE QUICK-TO-SEE-SMITH: Memory Map

his is the first time in its 92-year history that New York’s Whitney Museum has organised a retrospective for a Native American. It has now tried to make up for this exclusion by mounting a giant show that fills its two floors. Memory Map brings together 50 years of work by Jaune Quick-toSee Smith including drawings, prints, paintings, and sculptures. It is the largest and most comprehensive showing of her career to date.

The result is this so-called Memory Map – a lifetime collection of works in which Smith explores Indigenous themes.

Her paintings, collages and other works are forged from ideas of race, land, culture and history but also, curiously, are infused with the influences of white male artists, notably Jasper Johns and Paul Klee.

“I began with the premise that the map didn’t belong to Jasper Johns, the map was an abstract image of stolen land in this country, so how could I turn the map into a new story?” she has said.

Jaune – meaning yellow – was given the soubriquet Quick to See by an aunt because she was very bright.

expected to do farm work – not paint. She was told, according to one source, that women could not be artists and that “Indians do crafts, not art”.

Monet in Full Light

Despite a difficult start her spirit enabled her to overcome the prejudices and obstacles she faced. She was Accompanied by his friend and colleague Pierre-Auguste Renoir, the French impressionist Claude Monet first visited Monte Carlo in 1883. Coming from the north, he was smitten by the city, and in particular with the dynamic light created by the Mediterranean sun and sea. Marking the 140th anniversary of his first momentous visit – one that was to have a lasting impact on his work – the Grimaldi Forum Monaco has devoted its major summer exhibition to the master. There are more than 100 works to see culled from across the world, with many coming from private collections.

It is a great chance to follow Monet’s work at a pivotal moment in his life. The exhibition includes works never seen in public before. The highlight is a collection of 25 works created in the area which can be seen for the first time near the landscapes where they were painted. These include several views of Monte Carlo seen from a distance which evoke landscapes, townscapes and views of more intimate local scenes such as pine and olive groves that remain timeless and little altered.

From July 8th until September 3rd at the Grimaldi Forum Monaco

Nevertheless Smith, who is a citizen of the Salish and Kootenai Nation based in Montana, forged a career in this very field. Smith’s first painting structured on the map of the United States was Indian Map 1992 and it takes pride of place here. The irony is obvious in this collage of newspaper headlines, advertisements and clippings steeped in blood red paint. Until August 13th at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, USA

The Royal Academy Summer Exhibition

Every year a new curator is given the task of arranging the multitude of images that pour into the Royal Academy for the biggest open submission art show in the world. This year the task has fallen to David Remfry RA. He has chosen to opt for plain coloured walls and rather bland works to match connected it seems by nothing more that the chosen theme – Only Connect. Over the next two months thousands of visitors will attempt to work out why these items have made the final cut.

Mixed media and textiles play a big part in the mix and for the Wohl Central Hall Renfrey has chosen a vast mobile covered in blue drapes that look like unwanted curtains. The most controversial piece may not be Allen Jones’s stripper but the poke at Hockey’s pool series by Brummie comedian Joe Lycett entitled I Drink a Crisp, Cold Beer in a Pool in Los Angeles While Gary Lineker Looks on in Disgust. Priced at a presumably joke (or is it?) £1,354,999 Lycett will certainly be laughing his way to the bank if it sells. And this is the really good part of the Summer Exhibition. Most everything is for sale from about £200 upwards. If you have the stamina to assess the 1,613 works and don’t care too much about the future of your ‘investment’ this is a great hunting ground.

Yayoi Kusama: 1945

TO NOW

Little wonder that Yayoi Kusama is mad about polka dots. Since girlhood she has relied upon the motif to inspire works as diverse as ceramics and immersive videos – her so called Infinity Rooms. A painting of dots propelled her into third place as the world’s most expensive female artist and more recently Sotheby’s sold one of her (very many) polka dotted pumpkins for £6million.

Kusama (b. 1929) has lived and worked in a mental asylum since 1973 when she had a nervous breakdown. At least she is safe there from any negative reviews of works such the Infinity Rooms: “about as artistic as a lava lamp” said one critic although the public will queue for hours to get a selfie inside these swirling lamps.

The Guggenheim show gives us a chance to look beyond the commercialised and crowdpleasing Kusama and understand her origins. Ordered chronologically and thematically, the show investigates the themes – repetition, celestial bodies and the experience of the infinite that Kusama means to explore.

The 200 paintings, sculptures, moving images and installations include some of the first drawings she made as a teenager during World War II. Kusama’s morbidly fascinating back story, plus the backing of gallerists David Zwirner and Gagosian, has given her iconic status but it says rather a lot that a recent show of Kusama’s giant yellow polka dotted balls in Chicago shared its space with the gift shop.

Lamborghini organised a spectacular 60th birthday party for the brand, featuring the launch of their latest supercar, the Revuelto, at Silverstone on the 29th of April.

They also showcased every single one of their models since the inception of their supercar production. Owners and fans from across the UK and overseas flocked to the event to partake in the birthday celebration and catch a glimpse of the Revuelto, which was unveiled in the grand auditorium of the Wing grandstand at Silverstone.

Lamborghini Chairman and CEO, Stephan Winkelmann, took the stage as the first speaker, accompanied by Chief Technical Officer Rouven Mohr and Head of Design Mitja Borker. The Revuelto is the world’s first super sports V12 hybrid plug-in HPEV (High Performance Electrified Vehicle), capable of exhilarating anyone who drives it and surpassing all other road cars on the market.

I arrived early to find the vast Silverstone paddock zone already filled with hundreds of Lamborghinis, with cars continuously being guided to rapidly disappearing parking spaces.

Based on my estimation, there were over 600 owners and their guests in attendance, setting a world record for the number of Lamborghinis gathered. A remarkable fleet of 390 cars lined up on the Silverstone starting grid for a parade lap. At the designated moment, the multitude of brightly coloured vehicles, boasting nearly 5000 cylinders, ignited in a deafening roar, following the pace cars around the circuit. The sound equalled that of 20 Formula 1 grids starting simultaneously.

I doubt that Silverstone has ever witnessed such a simultaneous ignition of 200,000 petrol-fuelled horsepower, and it may never witness such a spectacle again-unless Lamborghini decides to repeat it in celebration of their 70th anniversary.

TRACKDAY CAR The

MOUNAINS

Conquering terrain and tarmac with elegance and power

Words by Stuart Shield

Ihave driven a number of rare breed 4x4 cars that are as far removed from utility vehicles used by farmers to feed their herds on the Scottish Highlands as you could possibly get. They are designed to combine elegance, luxury, and performance to give owners a versatile everyday car. The all-weather tyres may never see mud, snow, or ice, and even if they did, it wouldn’t be a problem. But the only car capable of handling rough terrain and pristine tarmac race tracks with equal measure would be the Lamborghini Urus.

Even though it is a large car, the sleek bodylines make it appear closer to the ground than it actually is. My first drive was on tarmac but not on the motorway; it was on the back roads of Essex, empty of traffic, with seating lofty enough to see across the hedgerows, giving me a clear view of the corners I was tackling.

The very wide tyres and fourwheel drivetrain took the Urus around bends at high speeds safely, without any detectable body roll, while still maintaining a comfortable ride. Essex is not known for its hills, but I had a date with the Goodwood Members Race meeting in Chichester, which meant driving over the beautiful and wild South Downs, a 260 square mile (670km²) area stretching across Sussex and Hampshire.

Where there are downs, there are ups, and the downs include 10 peaks, with the highest being Butser Hill, at 270 metres above sea level. I made East Lavington, my waypoint, a little closer to sea level at 255 metres. Roads traversing hills or mountains often include many curves, with trees and steep sides preventing the sun from drying out the road. Hazards such as mud and leaf matter can make bends treacherous. Take one of these too quickly, and you would find yourself disappearing into the scenery, but that was my intention. Finding a suitable spot with no fence or barrier, I left the road, and within minutes, I was in the wild. I

increased the ride height and terrain settings and quickly gave the shiny silver-painted Urus designer mud splashes on its flanks.

When I later rejoined the road, passing drivers stopped to marvel at the sight of the Urus emerging from the undergrowth, looking ever so slightly more military.

It had been raining for a number of days, so when I arrived at Goodwood, the parking fields next to the circuit were full of cars that had churned the ground into a paste. The Urus felt at home, and if only it had a tow bar, I could have helped an unfortunate Ferrari driver extract his 812 Superfast from the mire.

The sun came out, and Goodwood was glorious. Since I was spending two days in the area, I headed to my hotel in Hayling Island and stopped at a marina by a slipway used to launch boats from trailers. The tide was out but on the turn, and the early evening sun provided an excellent photo opportunity, so I drove the freshly washed Urus onto the wet seashore, hoping the car wouldn’t sink and become the front-page headline in the local newspaper. Now, the people drinking on the Ship Inn pub terrace had something else to gaze at. Pictures taken and the tide heading inshore, I noticed the tyres were no longer on the surface. After a heart-stopping moment while the wheels found grip, I drove the car back onto the slipway to see the Ship’s customers raising a glass to the Urus.

Chasing the dream of Le Mans

In a fascinating interview with Freddie Hunt, the son of Formula One World Champion James Hunt, we delve into his journey in motorsport, the challenges he faced, and his relentless pursuit of the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans race. Freddie’s story is one of determination, self-discovery, and an unwavering commitment to honouring his father’s legacy.

Freddie’s path in motorsport began unexpectedly, as he initially ventured into the world of polo. However, due to financial constraints, he had to abandon the sport at a young age. It was during a fortuitous encounter at the Goodwood Festival of Speed that Freddie’s life took a thrilling turn. Invited to drive a Maserati GT4, he immediately fell in love with the power, the noise, and the adrenaline rush of motorsport. Encouraged by a friend who recognised his talent, Freddie embarked on a new journey, entering the British Formula Ford Championship in 2007.

Reflecting on his early days in racing, Freddie shares, “I was old to start racing, most drivers these days start between five and ten years old, but it wasn’t impossible to make it to Formula One,

toll on his mental well-being. Freddie candidly admits, “I struggled with the pressure... I didn’t realise just how famous and loved he was, and the fact that his son was starting motorsport was a big deal for the media.”

Overwhelmed by the expectations and the spotlight, Freddie’s performance suffered, and he struggled to secure sponsorships. After a series of setbacks, he made the difficult decision to step away from motorsport in 2009. This period of self-discovery led him to pursue his passion for wildlife, outdoor adventures, and farm life.

The release of the movie ‘Rush,’ which depicted the legendary rivalry between his father and Niki Lauda, coincided with Freddie’s decision to return to motorsport. Although the film didn’t directly inspire him, it helped reignite interest in his father’s achievements, opening doors for potential opportunities. Freddie’s personal and professional growth during his time away laid the foundation for his comeback.

In 2022, Freddie’s determination and aspirations led him to sign with Reiter Engineering, embarking on the “Hunt for Le Mans” project. His dream is to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans by 2026, which coincides with the fiftieth anniversary of his father’s F1 world championship. Looking forward, Freddie is focused on the path ahead, taking it one race at a time, while keeping his eyes firmly fixed on the ultimate prize: victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. With each lap he completes, each challenge he overcomes, Freddie Hunt is determined to forge his own legacy while paying homage to his father’s remarkable achievements. The “Hunt for Le Mans” continues, and motorsport enthusiasts around the world eagerly await the day when Freddie’s name will be etched alongside his father’s in the annals of racing history.

With a shared vision for something truly unique, they poured their hearts and souls into turning that vision into a reality.

“It was a time of great growth and learning for us, both personally and professionally,” Suzanne and Max reflects. “We discovered the power of collaboration, the importance of communication, and the value of perseverance in the face of adversity. We remained committed to our goal of creating a brand that was innovative and inspired by the natural beauty of Barbados.”

Their dedication paid off, and Mullins Grove became a symbol of their success. The attention brought by Channel 4’s ‘The Caribbean - Billionaires Paradise’ showcased their properties to the world. To ensure that the expectations set by the show were consistently met, Suzanne and Max explain, “Developing vacation homes is a responsibility we don’t take lightly. We prioritise an upfront selection of materials and furnishings to ensure that the final product exceeds our clients’ expectations. Our reputation for delivering exactly what we promise is critical for off-plan projects.”

Their success as the fastest selling developers in Barbados can be attributed to their meticulous approach. Suzanne and Max attribute it to visionary thinking, strategic planning, clear communication, and a deep understanding of sociological trends. By carefully curating a database of potential homeowners and creating a waiting list for upcoming projects, they consistently sell out their developments within a short timeframe.

To ensure their developments align with the changing needs of the market, Suzanne and Max emphasises the importance of continuous learning. “Staying updated with global news, visitor demographics, and travel trends is imperative. We invest in understanding our buyers and the market, which allows us to improve our products, services, and marketing strategies,” they say.

Building dreams and redefining luxury in Barbados

When sourcing locations for their developments, Suzanne and Max emphasises their deep understanding of the local market. “We know our patch better than anyone out there. We have established relationships with realtors and landowners, which enables us to access available properties before they hit the market. Our criteria include proximity to the beach, well-shaped plots without encroachments, and a preferred location on the West Coast.”

Maintaining a balance between being hands-on with projects and delegating tasks is crucial for Suzanne and Max. They collaborate with likeminded architects and land planners to create lasting structures. “We can’t delegate projects in the early stages,” Suzanne and Max explains. “Our in-house creativity is necessary during that phase. However, as the development process moves into the construction phase, we are able to delegate tasks to our capable team.”

Suzanne and Max’s future plans in Barbados involve expanding their hospitality division through partnerships and developing hotels, focusing on blending residential and luxury resort lifestyle in their next project. They also aim to branch out into larger residences for highnet-worth individuals and consider future expansion beyond the island, following the success of their recent project, Ocean Grove.
