From Germany to Mallorca: How a Brave Idea Helped Transform a Palma Neighbourhood: Christine Leja & Andree Mienkus’ Story

From Germany to Mallorca: How a Brave Idea Helped Transform a Palma Neighbourhood: Christine Leja & Andree Mienkus’ Story

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.
