While the home retains the acclaimed architect's concrete exterior, Ye removed the insides: "It’s priced to reflect the need for the interior finishes to be replaced," says Jason Oppenheim of the Oppenheim Group.

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).1

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.”
