NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Legendary real estate brokerage Douglas Elliman today announced the launch of a consumer focused re-design of ELLIMAN, the firm's luxury lifestyle publication. With stories and features with broad appeal, the magazine will now refocus and be dedicated to lifestyle, real estate and the regions in which the company serves. Covering Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Westchester, Long Island – with special spotlights on the Hamptons and the North Fork – Florida and California, the magazine will also focus on the international luxury marketplace as part of the company's new global brand alliance: Douglas Elliman Fine Homes/Knight Frank Residential. ELLIMAN now features a unique cover property specific to each region, and for the first time, will be distributed globally through Douglas Elliman Fine Homes/Knight Frank Residential's worldwide network of more than 412 offices in 52 countries.

"We're very excited to share the new look and feel of ELLIMAN with our readers," said Dottie Herman, President and CEO of Douglas Elliman. "This great new mix of news, interviews, profiles, and features offers our readers an intimate taste of the communities we serve while demonstrating the power of our new global reach."

ELLIMAN will appear two times a year, and the first consumer-focused issue will launch on October 23, 2014 in NYC and roll out to other markets throughout the following week, including Long Island and The Hamptons on October 24, Florida on October 31, and Los Angeles on November 1st. ELLIMAN will reach consumers in its various markets widely, with 298,000 copies set to be distributed for its initial national launch, with more copies to be displayed throughout Europe and Asia.

"We felt that there was a tremendous opportunity to capture the vibrant locale and lifestyle of each of the regions our company serves in a way that consumers would be able to appreciate and enjoy," said Nicole Oge, Global Chief Marketing Officer of Douglas Elliman. "The new focus in content and feature coverage gives our readers an up-close and personal look at each of these regions, and allows us to connect with our customers, and showcase our amazing properties editorially in way that no other real estate brokerage is doing."

ELLIMAN will not only cover fantastic properties on the market, but also the culture, style, culinary scene, happenings, and hot spots of each location. Each region also features a snap shot of the current market in terms of pricing, inventory and absorption rate.
