Kanye West’s Malibu mansion has survived the wildfires, according to its new owner, who is relieved and ready to resume renovations.
He bought the property for $21 million after West had stripped it down to its concrete frame. West originally bought it for a whopping $57.25 million back in 2021.
Belmont is now planning to restore the home, which was designed by Tadao Ando. He’s optimistic about the project, saying it’s easier than some of his past work.
The wildfires have caused a lot of damage in the area, but Belmont confirmed that his properties in Malibu and West Hollywood are safe. He’s ready to get the renovation crew back to work once it’s safe.
Belmont expressed his sympathy for those affected by the fires, emphasizing the importance of safety for his team. He’s excited about the potential of the mansion and aims to turn it into a profitable investment.
The house was built to withstand harsh conditions, so Belmont feels confident about the restoration. He’s teaming up with an architecture firm to bring the property back to life.
