Kanye West Lists Tadao Ando Beachfront House in Malibu for $53 Million – The Hollywood Reporter

Kanye “Ye” West, whose business empire suffered major repercussions amid the star’s ongoing antisemitic outbursts, is selling a Malibu property that he bought in late 2021 for $57.3 million in an off-market deal.

Designed by Pritzker Prize-winning Tadao Ando, the house features a concrete exterior in keeping with the acclaimed architect’s streamlined brutalist ethos. In the couple of dozen months that Ye has owned the property, the music performer and designer removed the home’s interiors, leaving it essentially gutted.

Now, instead of renovating the four-bedroom beachfront house on Malibu Road, Ye has decided to sell it, with a price tag of $53 million (he’s listing it at a loss).

“What’s missing are the interiors,” says Jason Oppenheim of the Oppenheim Group, who is listing the house exclusively, estimating that the new owner would need to spend several million dollars to redo the inside of the home. “It’s priced to reflect the need for the interior finishes to be replaced. On the positive, it can be brought up to 2024 standards — it was built about 10 years ago.”

What’s significant though, adds Oppenheim, is that the concrete exterior remains intact. “The architectural integrity of Tadao Ando’s work exists today,” says the Selling Sunset star real estate broker. “He’s largely known for his concrete work and the significant cost of this house is in the concrete work.”

The about 4,000-square-foot house is made from approximately 1,200 tons of concrete with 200 tons of steel reinforcement and 12 large pylons that are set 60 feet into the sand. It features 1,500 square feet of exterior decks and boasts ocean views from every room.

Ando — famed for his museum structures built on the Japanese island of Naoshima — has designed precious few houses in the United States. One, built by art collectors and producers Bill and Maria Bell, was famously purchased by Jay-Z and Beyoncé this year for $200 million, setting a record as the most expensive residential real estate deal ever recorded in California.
