The Weeknd Buys $25 Million Dollar Los Angeles Beverly West Penthouse
Abel Tesfaye, the singer-songwriter better known as The Weeknd, has bought one of the remaining penthouses at the Beverly West, a boutique condominium tower in Westwood, in one of the highest condo sales ever recorded in the Los Angeles area.
The “Can’t Feel My Face” and “The Hills” singer paid $21 million — or about $2,555 a square foot
Hilton & Hyland’s Bill Simpson, who is an exclusive listing agent for the Beverly West, said people are starting to recognize and appreciate the perks, privacy and location afforded by high-rise living.
And it’s not just older homebuyers who are buying into the lifestyle.
Tesfaye’s penthouse was one of four that hit the market in August and carried a price tag north of $23 million. Occupying the top floors of the 22-story high-rise, each penthouse was designed to fit a certain personality and features a unique design with curated materials and distinct color palettes.
The penthouse Tesfaye purchased is called the “Mogul” and boasts a dark, masculine palette of deep navy blue complemented by walnut wood paneling. The 8,215-square-foot residence also has a designer kitchen, imported wide-plank oak floors, high-end fixtures and direct elevator access. Walls of floor-to-ceiling windows frame sweeping views in nearly every direction.
The Beverly West has no common areas besides the amenities floor,” he said. Every owner goes up on their short elevator ride to their own airspace.”
The Beverly West building, developed by United Arab Emirates real estate company Emaar Properties, has 35 units and features a 24-hour concierge, a gym and a saltwater swimming pool. On the rooftop is a helipad.
Jeff Hyland and Susan Pekich of Hilton & Hyland shared the listing with Simpson. Angel Salvador of The Agency represented Tesfaye in the sale.
