BREAKING: LeBron James Turns His $37 Million Beverly Hills Purchase Into Two Mega Mansions A Double Dream Home Project Fit for a King
LeBron James Transforms Beverly Hills With Bold Construction Move
LeBron James is redefining what “King-sized living” really means. The NBA legend has begun construction on not one, but two luxury megamansions on his Beverly Hills property — the same estate he bought for $37 million in 2020 and later demolished.
Once a glamorous 1930s home, the property has now turned into a sprawling construction site perched on a hilltop with panoramic views of Los Angeles. Planning documents obtained by Realtor.com confirm that the 2.72-acre plot has been split into two distinct parcels, each hosting its own lavish residence.
The larger of the two homes will span nearly 16,000 square feet, complete with a 7,700-square foot underground garage and a two level above ground parking area. It’s a design worthy of a superstar who’s spent two decades dominating the basketball world.
Two Mega Mansions, One King-Sized Vision
According to official blueprints, LeBron’s new compound will share a single private driveway, protected by a 209-square foot guard house and surrounded by 10-foot-high security fencing. Security cameras, alarm systems, and a private entry gate will ensure that the world’s most famous basketball player and his family enjoy unmatched privacy.
Each mansion will have its own address when completed, but the entire property will function as one secured compound a small fortress on the hills of Beverly Hills.
The first residence, the larger of the two, will include a backyard pool, spa, solar panels, and an outdoor kitchen for entertaining guests. Its hilltop position promises spectacular views stretching across Los Angeles the kind that only money, fame, and vision can buy.
The second home will be a 6,550-square foot single story estate, featuring its own basement level movie theater, a private courtyard, and both hot and cold plunge pools for wellness and recovery.
The Architects Behind the Dream
LeBron isn’t doing this alone. He’s enlisted Crest Real Estate, known for handling high-end development projects, and Walker Workshop, one of Los Angeles’ most celebrated modern architecture firms.
Walker Workshop’s design philosophy “to craft homes with the care of a museum or sacred space” aligns perfectly with the luxurious, artistic direction LeBron seems to be taking. Their projects are often described as modern sanctuaries, and this Beverly Hills compound appears to be their next masterpiece.
From the elegant outdoor terraces to the sprawling water feature that will connect both mansions, every detail of LeBron’s estate screams precision and purpose. Even the driveway will include a central motor court with a water feature, creating an entrance as breathtaking as any NBA highlight reel.
A Home Fit for a Family and a Legacy
Originally, reports suggested that the Beverly Hills estate was meant to be LeBron’s primary family residence shared with his wife, Savannah, and their children. But the decision to build a second home on the same property has sparked new speculation.
Some insiders believe the second home could be for his eldest son, Bronny James, who recently joined the Los Angeles Lakers. It wouldn’t be the first time LeBron blended family and future in his plans. The James family has always been close knit, and this project might symbolize both success and generational legacy.
The construction, which began in 2023, is still ongoing. Photos of the site show cranes, steel frames, and the early outlines of the two estates taking shape. Though far from completion, the vision is clear: a family compound unlike anything Los Angeles has ever seen.
From Rubble to Royalty
LeBron’s decision to demolish the previous estate a classic 1930s four-bedroom mansion raised eyebrows at the time. But for a man used to reimagining the game of basketball itself, tearing down the old to build something greater feels symbolic.
Back in 2020, the site was a pile of rubble. Today, it’s evolving into one of California’s most ambitious residential builds. The massive garage spaces, spa facilities, and entertainment rooms are all being designed with the same level of planning that LeBron brings to the basketball court.
It’s not LeBron’s first time doing something like this. When he was just 18 and drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers, he bought a property in Akron, Ohio, for $2.1 million and immediately tore it down to build a home from scratch. That property now spans over 30,000 square feet, with amenities like a bowling alley, recording studio, and barbershop.
A King Preparing for His Next Chapter
While LeBron continues to play at an elite level in his 23rd NBA season, the timing of this project has fueled retirement rumors. At 40 years old, he’s the oldest active player in the NBA. Yet, he insists he’s not done just yet.
“I’m excited about the opportunity to be able to play the game that I love for another season,” he told reporters before the 2025–26 season. “I know the end is sooner than later, but I’m still giving everything I have to the game.”
In April 2025, LeBron became the first 40-year old player in NBA history to record at least 20 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 assists in a playoff game. ESPN still ranks him among the top 10 players in the league a rare achievement for someone two decades deep into his career.
It’s that combination of endurance and ambition that makes this mansion project so fitting. For LeBron, who’s never been afraid to aim higher, the Beverly Hills compound might represent the next stage of his journey a physical symbol of longevity, discipline, and legacy.
Building a Legacy Beyond Basketball
Even as speculation about his future swirls, LeBron’s influence off the court keeps growing. His investments, real estate ventures, and philanthropic work continue to expand his impact far beyond basketball.
These two Beverly Hills mansions aren’t just luxurious homes; they’re monuments to a man who has mastered both sport and success. Whether they serve as family residences, a retreat, or part of his long term legacy plan, they stand as proof that LeBron James is still building in every sense of the word.
