The new megamansion in Beverly Hills, designed for LeBron James and his family.
NBA superstar LeBron James is progressing with the construction of his luxurious megamansion in Beverly Hills, a project that began after the demolition of the historic property he acquired in 2020. Encompassing 2.5 acres, the new residence aims to provide privacy and comfort for James and his family, featuring lavish amenities such as a resort-style pool, home theater, wine cellar, and even an indoor basketball court. The historical significance of the site only adds to its allure as the James family prepares to establish their dream home.
NBA superstar LeBron James is making significant strides in the construction of his new residence, a grand megamansion in Beverly Hills. James embarked on this ambitious project after purchasing the property for an impressive $36.8 million in 2020. The estate, formerly owned by television producers Lee Phillip Bell and William J. Bell, is steeped in history, having previously hosted multiple notable figures, including the legendary actress Katharine Hepburn, who leased the house from aviation pioneer Howard Hughes.
In 2023, James made the decision to demolish the original 13,000-square-foot Mediterranean-inspired structure that had stood on the property since the 1930s. This marked the beginning of the transformation of the site as James embarked on creating a new residence for himself, his wife, Savannah, and their three children: Bronny, Zhuri, and Bryce. The new construction has already seen considerable progress, with construction efforts focused on providing a luxurious family living space.
Spanning 2.5 acres of prime Beverly Hills real estate, the new megamansion is designed to ensure maximum privacy and comfort. According to several real estate sources, the compound will feature a multi-level main house surrounded by several outbuildings, crafting a secluded sanctuary for the family. The construction has taken shape with a grand, tiered structure that showcases the visionary design laid out for the property.
As expected of a residence owned by one of the biggest names in sports, the megamansion promises to boast lavish amenities catered to the family’s lifestyle. Some highlights of the anticipated features include:
The history of the property adds a unique dimension to its existing appeal. The former home served different purposes throughout its respectful lifespan, contributing to the excitement surrounding James’s new construction efforts. Notably, LeBron previously sold another property in Los Angeles in 2021 for $19.6 million, after acquiring it for a higher price in 2015. This previous sale signifies his intention to simplify his real estate portfolio while focusing on establishing his dream home in California.
James’s decision to build this new home in Beverly Hills underscores his commitment to Southern California, particularly following his move to the Los Angeles Lakers in 2018. As construction progresses on this stunning megamansion, it will surely become a hallmark of both luxury and comfort for the James family, reaffirming their place in one of the most coveted neighborhoods in the world.
