The Tadao Ando-designed space was gutted by the 47-year-old rapper in 2021, with the completion of the renovations never brought to fruition. CEO Bo Belmont , who runs the real estate crowdfunding firm Belwood Investments, recently purchased the residence from West for $21 million, millions less than the asking price. About Kanye's choice to remove the floors' glazed finish, he told the Los Angeles Times : 'That was a really dumb move.
Really no purpose.' 'This is not just a phenomenal real estate investment; it is an opportunity to revitalize and preserve an architectural gem by the renowned Tadao Ando, ensuring it remains a jewel of Malibu,' Belmont stated in a press release, per New York Post .
