Kanye West's Malibu Estate Returns to Market for $34.9M After Major Renovation

Kanye West's former home returns to market for fourth time in five years.

anye West's former Malibu mansion, a concrete masterpiece designed by Tadao Ando, has relisted for $34.9 million after a deal with luxury developer Andrew Mazzella stalled. The property was previously listed in March for an undisclosed sum upwards of $30 million and had entered into contract just months after being put on the market.

    West purchased the four-bedroom home, dubbed "Little Ando," for $57.25 million in 2021 but gutted it soon after, reportedly seeking to turn it into a personal "bomb shelter" or "bat cave." The rapper abandoned the project, leaving the concrete shell exposed to the elements between 2022 and 2023.

    Mazzella had entered into contract with Belwood Investments, the crowdfunded firm that bought the property for $21 million in 2024, but negotiations have reportedly stalled. Mazzella described the project as "a very complicated construction project" and said he would continue to look for other investment opportunities if the deal falls through.

    The property's history has been marked by controversy and uncertainty, with West's original purchase and subsequent abandonment of the home sparking headlines in 2022. The restoration efforts led by Belwood have also faced challenges, with the firm listing the semi-restored property earlier this year before entering into contract with Mazzella.

    As of Wednesday, the three-story home remains up for grabs, with Jason Oppenheim of the Oppenheim Group and Mauricio Umansky of the Agency holding the listing.
