Corcoran Magri Expands to Cortina
The Corcoran® brand’s first European affiliate grows its footprint in Northern Italy.
Corcoran Magri Properties has announced the opening of its newest office in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy, centrally located at Via Cesare Battisti, 65, Cortina d’Ampezzo, Bellumo 32043.
Cortina d’Ampezzo, often referred to simply as ‘Cortina,’ is a picturesque alpine town nestled in the heart of Italy’s Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Renowned as a premier destination for luxury and outdoor enthusiasts, it’s celebrated for its world-class skiing, stunning landscapes, and sophisticated charm. In winter, its slopes attract skiers and snowboarders from across the globe, while summer offers opportunities for hiking, rock climbing, and cycling. Cortina is also famed for its upscale boutiques, gourmet dining, and rich cultural events, offering a blend of natural beauty and cosmopolitan elegance. The town’s upcoming role as a host for the 2026 Winter Olympics will cement Cortina’s reputation as a world-class destination.
“The Cortina d’Ampezzo real estate market continues to thrive and attract significant attention from Italian, European, and international consumers,” said Maddalena Magri, Broker-Owner of Corcoran Magri Properties. “With its unmatched natural beauty, world-class amenities, and reputation as a high-end resort destination, Cortina offers exceptional opportunities for buyers seeking luxury and lifestyle. Our presence in this vibrant market ensures we can cater to the evolving needs of our clients, while remaining at the forefront of one of Italy’s most prestigious and dynamic regions.”
Founded as Immobiliare Magri in 1987 by Luigi Magri, a renowned agent who began selling Garda-area real estate in the 1950s, Corcoran Magri Properties is a family-run business. Maddelena Magri, Luigi’s daughter, acquired majority control of the firm in 2013, growing its reach and influence alongside co-owner Francesco Visentin. In March of 2023, the company became the first Corcoran brand affiliate in Europe, with an expansion to nearby Verona following soon thereafter.
The Cortina area offers a range of high-end properties that cater to discerning audiences. From elegant alpine chalets and historic villas to modern ski-in/ski-out apartments, the market reflects the town’s status as a premier destination for both vacation homes and investment properties. Over the past few years, Cortina’s market has evolved significantly, driven by increased interest from both domestic and international buyers seeking properties in one of the most scenic and prestigious alpine locations. This increase in demand has led to a surge in premium new developments and properties with thoughtful renovations, aimed at preserving the area’s unique architectural charm while introducing modern amenities.
Aligning with the planned opening of Corcoran Magri Properties’ new Cortina office is Cortina Fashion Weekend, scheduled to take place from December 6-8. This annual glamorous event celebrates innovative style and alpine elegance, featuring exclusive brand activations, pop-up stores, and fashion showcases throughout the city. Prestigious fashion labels often unveil limited collections and host unique experiences tailored to the town’s upscale audience, attracting a mix of global jetsetters, fashion enthusiasts, and local consumers for the festive fashion weekend.
