Aston Martin International Property Development


Luxurty British automaker Aston Martin is extending its brand license agreement to international property developments. Incorporating the three elements of the brand – power, beauty and soul – into every building in this development, Aston Martin is set to raise the bar on luxury living.

“Aston Martin has an inherent beauty that stems from a basic requirement to be streamlined and aerodynamic,” said Alvaro Hidalgo of First Logic, an international property development consultant agency that’s identifying suitable worldwide locations for Aston Martin. “It is this design expertise, and an understanding of aesthetics combined with functionality, that will differentiate Aston Martin developments. Each Aston Martin property development will be unique. The properties will be built to suit a selection of first class leisure destinations such as marina, beach, ski, golf and polo resorts.”

Aston Martin will be branding a series of villas, apartments, residences, hotels, sports clubs and accompanying exclusive leisure facilities.

47 View Street – Luxist Estate of the Day


Today’s luxury estate post from Luxist features a home in Los Altos, California.  With over 12,000 square feet of space it is huge, as is the asking price – $27 million (approximately $2,220 per square foot.)  A bit pricey in my opinion, but I don’t have nearly the need for that much square footage in a home, nor the available funds to purchase something anywhere in that price range.

Let’s dream anyway.  More information (including a PDF and video of the property) can be found here.


Today’s estate takes us back to Los Altos Hills, the home of many Silicon Valley executives. This beautiful home, created by R.J. Dailey Construction is exquisitely done. It sits on an acre of land and has a three-level floorplan with over 12,000 square feet of space. There are five bedroom suites including the master which includes a fireplace, gorgeous curved windows, a predictably massive bathroom and an adjacent paneled library. The home is wired for the latest technology and has radiant heating and programmable lighting. The home also includes a home theater with a bar, a wine cave and a fitness room. There is also a one-bedroom guest apartment, swimming pool and spa, four-car garage and a generator for auxiliary power. It is listed at $27 million.
