Success of May 2026 London Global Sale

May 28, 2026

We are pleased to announce the success of its May 2026 London Global Sale, closing live over the course of two days at two of London's most celebrated venues. Day One saw bidding close 27 May at The Connaught in Mayfair, followed by Day Two on 28 May at Sotheby's London on New Bond Street—one of the world's premier destinations for fine art and luxury goods—and a fitting stage for the internationally curated collection.

Showcasing an exceptional portfolio of marquee properties spanning North America and Europe and livestreamed to the world via conciergeauctions.com, the sale saw over US$650M in aggregate bids placed. As one of Concierge Auctions' most anticipated events of the year, the sale attracted robust participation and competitive bidding from an international audience of qualified luxury buyers.

With hundreds in attendance, 35 property connoisseurs competed in person, on the telephone via a team of specialists, and online from North America, Asia, Europe, and the Isle of Man—including eight US states, as well as Canada, Portugal, Singapore, and Dubai. The auctions were conducted by Concierge Auctions’ Head Auctioneer Frank Trunzo and Sotheby’s auctioneer and Global Head of Whisky, Jonny Fowle.

The crown jewel of the sale was The Crown Bel Air, a billionaire-owned, 15.9-acre compound encompassing nine properties and seven homes across prime Bel Air and Hollywood Hills in Los Angeles, California. Together, the property represented one of the largest and most versatile residential offerings to come to market in Bel Air’s history.

“The strong performance of our live sales underscores the resilience of the global luxury real estate market and the sustained demand for truly irreplaceable, one-of-one properties,” said Chad Roffers, CEO and Co-Founder of Concierge Auctions. “When we bring serious, qualified buyers together around these once-in-a-generation opportunities, we consistently see the kind of spirited competition that drives exceptional outcomes. Today’s sophisticated buyers are engaged, selective, and prepared to move decisively when rare properties come to market. We look forward to presenting a slate of additional extraordinary offerings in the months ahead.”
