Along with big brother Nick, he formed Candy & Candy within which they began renovating flats and working their way up the property development ladder, eventually able to leave their regular jobs and work in real estate and design full time. Candy & Candy are the property barons behind pretty much every piece of high-profile, high-end real estate built in London during the past decade. Their trademark properties boast the style of a Mayfair hotel, the technology of a James Bond automobile and the lifestyle solutions—concierges, health clubs, etc.—of a top-end holiday resort. In the summer of 2013, Christian bought 19 East 70th Street, an Italian Renaissance-style mansion between Fifth and Madison Avenues for $35 million. A representative for Candy & Candy confirmed that they intended to convert the 17,000-square-foot house for residential use. The eight-bedroom home was last used as an art gallery. The spokesperson also said they (Candy & Candy) do not plan to live in the home, suggesting that they are likely to sell it once renovations were complete.
