Kanye West purchased the luxury home in 2021 after splitting from ex-wife Kim Kardashian. The original design for the mansion, created by Japanese architect Tadao Ando, was reconstructed, as the artist decided to dismantle windows, doors, electrical wiring, and plumbing.
The mansion has four bedrooms and five bathrooms. It is currently on the market for $39 million. Last year, Bellwood Investments bought the property with the intention of restoring the home’s original architecture. According to the Wall Street Journal, the firm entered into a contract with Andrew Mazzella, but the deal fell through.
Belwood founder and CEO Beau Belmont told the Journal that Mazzella was unable to secure financing for the deal. The architect denied the allegations, telling the publication that the project required significantly more money than he had originally estimated.
Belwood Investments had previously raised millions of dollars from investors to buy the property and restore it while preserving the original architecture that existed before the rapper turned the mansion into a concrete shell.
Belmont had previously told the Los Angeles Times that the goal was to make the mansion look “like Kanye had never been there.” However, the restoration of the mansion was suspended in April.
