Grammy-nominated music producer Alex Da Kid, born Alexander Grant, has officially placed his sprawling Hollywood Hills mansion on the market for a staggering $85 million, offering a rare glimpse into one of Los Angeles’ most ambitious privately built luxury estates. The custom-designed residence, located in the coveted Bird Streets enclave, represents more than a decade of vision, investment, and architectural collaboration.
According to listing details shared with californialuxuryhouses, the sale reflects a lifestyle shift rather than market pressure, as Grant has increasingly centered his personal and professional life on the East Coast.
From Mediterranean Home to Architectural Statement
Grant’s journey with the property began in 2012, when he purchased a Mediterranean-style home on Cordell Drive for $4.1 million. Rather than renovate, the producer opted to raze the structure entirely, envisioning a modern compound that would match both his creative ambitions and the dramatic topography of the Hollywood Hills.
“The original house simply didn’t reflect the scale or intent Alex had in mind,” a representative familiar with the project told californialuxuryhouses. “This was always about creating something iconic from the ground up.”
In 2020, Grant expanded the footprint further by acquiring the neighboring residence downhill for $7.6 million, later transforming it into a standalone guesthouse that seamlessly integrates with the main estate. After more than thirteen years and several million dollars invested, the completed compound now spans multiple parcels and delivers a level of scale rarely seen even among Los Angeles’ most elite offerings.
Designed in Collaboration with Architect Paul McClean
Completed in 2025, the main residence was designed in close collaboration with renowned architect Paul McClean, whose firm is known for sculptural modernism and seamless indoor-outdoor living. Constructed from steel, glass, and limestone, the five-level structure encompasses approximately 24,000 square feet, with four bedrooms and seven bathrooms arranged across a dramatic vertical layout.
Walls of glass frame panoramic views of the Sunset Strip, downtown Los Angeles, and the Pacific horizon beyond. Inside, knotty light oak floors, dark-stained rift oak and suede-clad walls, and refined marble and limestone accents create a palette that is both restrained and theatrical.
“This home was conceived as a living gallery,” the listing agent told californialuxuryhouses. “Every material choice and spatial transition was meant to evoke movement, light, and emotion.”
Resort-Scale Amenities Redefine Luxury Living
The estate’s amenities rival those of a private resort. Eight pools—ranging from infinity-edge lap pools to plunge and reflection pools—are distributed throughout the property, creating visual continuity across levels. A sculptural staircase flanked by a digital art wall anchors the interior, while expansive living and dining spaces open directly onto outdoor terraces.
Entertainment takes center stage with a plush private theater, a two-lane bowling alley, and an indoor half basketball court. A rooftop terrace crowns the home, complete with a retractable movie screen and sweeping city views that stretch from Downtown Los Angeles to the coastline on clear days.
At the lower levels, a full-floor wellness center wrapped in hemlock wood offers a hot tub, cold plunge, sauna, massage room, and even a cryotherapy chamber. According to information shared with californialuxuryhouses, this wellness suite was designed to function as a private spa, minimizing the need to leave the property altogether.
Nightclub, Guesthouse, and Vertical Drama
One of the home’s most striking features is a private nightclub, where guests arrive via a 65-foot glass elevator that doubles as an automotive display, offering views of luxury vehicles as they ascend or descend. From the gym, a separate staircase leads to the adjacent five-bedroom, 6,100-square-foot guesthouse, providing independent accommodations for extended stays, staff, or visiting creatives.
“The guesthouse allows the estate to function as a true compound,” the agent explained to californialuxuryhouses. “It’s ideal for hosting, privacy, and flexibility—qualities today’s ultra-high-net-worth buyers value deeply.”
Lifestyle Shift Behind the Sale
While the $85 million price tag positions the property among Los Angeles’ most expensive listings, the decision to sell appears rooted in geography rather than timing. According to The Wall Street Journal, Grant has relocated his primary residence to SoHo in Manhattan, where he now conducts much of his business. The move also places him closer to family in London.
“My mum is getting older,” Grant said in a recent interview. “I want to be closer to her.”
Industry observers note that such personal considerations increasingly drive transactions at the top of the market, where owners are less influenced by short-term fluctuations.
A Coveted Address in the Bird Streets
Perched above the Sunset Strip, the Bird Streets neighborhood remains one of Los Angeles’ most prestigious residential enclaves, prized for its privacy, security, and proximity to West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and major studios. Residents enjoy quick access to fine dining, high-end shopping along Sunset Plaza, and cultural destinations throughout the city, while still maintaining a sense of seclusion high above the urban core.
Californialuxuryhouses attempted to reach Grant for additional comment regarding the estate’s design process and future plans but did not receive a response. Still, the listing stands as a testament to what can be achieved when time, resources, and creative freedom converge—offering a singular opportunity for a buyer seeking a landmark residence in Los Angeles.
