Belwood Investments to Acquire Iconic Malibu Property Designed by Tadao Ando

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Aug. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Belwood Investments is thrilled to announce it is under contract to acquire the distinguished property located at 24844 Malibu Road, Malibu, CA. Originally constructed for art collector and financier Richard Sachs, this architectural masterpiece was designed by legendary Japanese architect Tadao Ando and completed in 2013. The property was sold in 2021 for $57 million. Due to unfinished renovations and subsequent damage, it was recently listed at a reduced price of $39 million. Following aggressive negotiations with The Oppenheim Group, Belwood Investments’ CEO, Bo Belmont, secured the property for under $22 Million.

“We are incredibly excited about the acquisition of this property,” says Belmont. “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. This acquisition exemplifies Belwood Investments’ commitment to transforming properties with historical and architectural significance while delivering exceptional returns for our investors.”

Belwood Investments plans to invest approximately $5 million in renovations to restore the property to its original state. Restoration will honor the unique materials and innovative design elements specified by Ando, many of which were imported from around the world. The renovation process is anticipated to take 12-16 months.

About Tadao Ando

Born in Osaka, Japan, Tadao Ando is a self-taught architect celebrated for his minimalist and innovative designs that are distinguished by the use of concrete, light, and space to create serene and contemplative environments.

Ando’s work is characterized by simplicity and clarity, emphasizing the beauty of raw concrete and natural light. He often integrates elements of nature into his buildings, creating a harmonious relationship between the built environment and the natural world. Notable works include the Church of the Light in Osaka, the Naoshima Contemporary Art Museum in Japan, the Pulitzer Arts Foundation in St. Louis, Missouri and Jay-Z and Beyonce’s Malibu estate. Among his numerous accolades are the prestigious Pritzker Architecture Prize (1995) and the American Institute of Architects Gold Medal (2002).

About the House

The property at 24844 Malibu Road is an architectural marvel constructed with over 1,200 tons of concrete and 200 tons of reinforced steel. It is built atop the sand, supported by 12 massive caissons driven 60 feet into the bedrock. The home spans just over 4,000 square feet, featuring 4 bedrooms and 5 baths. It blends modern minimalism with luxurious details, characterized by clean lines, open spaces, and an abundance of natural light.

The property offers breathtaking ocean views and seamlessly integrates indoor and outdoor living. High-end materials and finishes are evident throughout, with spacious living areas, a gourmet kitchen, and elegant bedrooms. Expansive glass walls provide panoramic vistas of the Pacific Ocean, creating a serene and sophisticated ambiance.

Richard Sachs, the original owner, aptly described it: “This is not just a house; this is like a Picasso, a cubist painting, very important and very rare.”
