"Kanye West's Gutted Malibu Mansion Hits Market for $53 Million"

Kanye West is listing his Tadao Ando-designed house in Malibu for $53 million, after purchasing it for $57.25 million two years ago. The beachfront property requires significant renovations, including windows, doors, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and interior finishes. The three-story house, made of concrete and steel, features four bedrooms and expansive windows facing the water. The original finishes were removed, but the architectural integrity remains. West has faced legal issues related to the property, including allegations of mistreatment by a contractor. Despite a decline in Malibu's median home sale price, the market remains relatively strong, with Beyoncé and Jay-Z recently purchasing an Ando-designed mansion for around $200 million.
