around 30-40 million ppl face eviction rn in america, but yaknow, this is a cool allocation of resources too. over 66k homeless in los angeles, alone. but yaknow, the condo is sooo cool. the views from the loft!!!

anyway, here's the article, fuck the paywall

The developer of a new condominium in the West Hollywood area of Los Angeles said he plans to list the project’s roughly 20,000-square-foot penthouse for $100 million or more, a price that could shatter the record for a Los Angeles condo sale.

Designed by Tom Kundig of architecture firm Olson Kundig, the penthouse will list for “nine figures-plus,” said one of the building’s developers, Tyler Siegel of Townscape Partners, noting that the price will be dependent on the level of customization and the build-out of the space. “Whether that’s $100 million, $125 million or $160 million, I just don’t know right now,” he said.

That pricing is justified in part by the penthouse’s sheer size, Mr. Siegel said; research by his listing agency, Douglas Elliman, shows that the apartment could be the largest single-floor penthouse in the world, topping high-end units in New York, London and Monaco. It could be configured as eight or 10 bedrooms, depending on the buyer’s needs. The unit has operable glass panels that open up to nearly 4,000 square feet of wraparound terrace space, nearly 14-foot ceilings and views from Malibu to downtown L.A.

The home has a private elevator, and the purchase comes with four private parking spaces in the garage downstairs.

Mr. Siegel added that the building is located in a sought-after location, within walking distance of celebrity hot spots such as Craig’s and The Ivy.

i just gotta point out this part. "It could be configured as eight or 10 bedrooms, depending on the buyer’s needs". imagine a space so big, that you can just shrug and be like, 'i dunno how many rooms. like 8? maybe 10?' lol
