DeAndre Jordan Acquires Stunning New Residence in Brentwood

The fact that former L.A. Clipper DeAndre Jordan has signed with the Philadelphia 76ers following his release from the L.A. Lakers after a single season does not indicate that the 6-foot-10 NBA all-star is not interested in maintaining a multimillion-dollar presence in Los Angeles. Indeed, the 2016 Olympic gold medalist has just spent $8.6 million on a brand-new contemporary residence on the affluent border of Brentwood and Santa Monica.

According to marketing materials, the three-story, 7,500-square-foot contemporary was “inspired by Mid-Century Modern architecture” and was completed last year. It has five bedrooms and seven restrooms and spans approximately 7,500 square feet over three floors. The property was listed with Lucas Cintra and Aaron Kirman of the Aaron Kirman Group at Compass; Joe Tourtelot of Compass represented Jordan.

The front door opens unceremoniously into a spacious open-plan living area with a double-sided wood-clad glass fireplace between the living room and library/office. The high ceilings and pale wood floors continue into the kitchen and family room, where there is a concealed prep kitchen and the family room opens onto the backyard via expansive glass walls. Each of the four guest rooms has a private bathroom with distinctive tiling, while the master suite has a custom-designed walk-in wardrobe and a small balcony off the enormous bathroom.

The finished basement’s expansive entertainment space includes a professional bar and climate-controlled wine cellar; the dramatically lit backyard features a swimming pool and spa, fire pit, and built-in barbecue; and, as a somewhat unexpected feature, the rooftop terrace provides panoramic views of the neighborhood.

The 33-year-old Jordan, a victor on the basketball court, has not had the same success in the SoCal real estate market. In 2016, he sold a 10,000-square-foot Pacific Palisades mansion at a loss of $1 million, and in 2017, he sold a nearly 9,000-square-foot Malibu mansion for more than $750,000 less than the $10 million he paid for it three years prior. If he decides to sell the three-bedroom high-floor condo in a luxury tower in Chicago’s River North neighborhood that he purchased for approximately $1.5 million almost a decade ago, he stands to make a handsome profit.
