The Most Expensive Luxury Home Ever Demolished

📍 1071 N Ocean Blvd, Palm Beach, FL 33480
This magnificent Palm Beach estate boasts 242 feet of direct ocean frontage and is designed in the French Normandy style. It features 6 bedrooms, 7 baths, and 10 powder rooms, including two separate full guest apartments. Spanning 35,000 square feet, the estate offers ample space for luxurious living.
Among its many amenities are a library, theater, wine room, bowling alley, and exercise room. The formal Grand Salon is adorned with a detailed fireplace and columns, offering stunning direct ocean views. Outside, the manicured backyard includes a column-lined loggia, summer kitchen, and an infinity pool and spa leading to the beach.
The former Estée Lauder mansion in Palm Beach, purchased by an LLC linked to William P. Lauder, is being torn down to presumably make way for a larger estate. Built in 2016 and spanning over 35,000 square feet, the opulent mansion boasted luxurious amenities like a home theater, library, wine room, and fitness center. The demolition, billed as the town's most expensive tear-down, has stirred controversy among residents, with some deeming it a waste and an eyesore. The property changed hands in 2019 before being acquired by Reiwa Holdings LLC, controlled by Lauder. Plans for the lot's future have yet to be submitted to the town, leaving its fate uncertain. Additionally, Lauder owns a vacant parcel of land adjacent to the property through a different LLC.

Nah, they would save the materials for use in other homes.

It's true and i agree

[@Savage-One]

I bet they are going to replace it with some cubes and windows all around it and call it ''modern mansion''

[@Legendary_Productions]

No current plans have been submitted to the town. Looks like the current owner, the CEO of Estee Lauder, is just selling it as land and will leave the building to the next owner.

Unfortunately society today does not appreciate classical architecture.

[@orestisvas7277]

It wasnt an old building, it was just never lived in or bought

[@loganandroid]

Screw the architecture. Think about how many man hours and how much material was wasted.

[@ArmandoWheatcliffe]

Instead of purchasing homes with the intention of demolishing them, people should consider buying vacant land and preserving existing homes with beautiful architecture for others to enjoy.

[@RealityTrailers]

Usually, if there are very important non-public secrets within a certain location, then the most optimal way to help keep those secrets, "a secret", is to change or evolve that same location into something which will no longer help keep those same secrets in anyway, shape or form.

[@Legendary_Productions]

Thing is this place was built and no one ever lived in it. I can't imagine there is anything to hide

[@RealityTrailers]

@@Legendary_Productions Maybe the owner(s) lost a bet which included total demolition? Obviously someone decided that the place had to be totally gone. Why? If you really want to know you could hire professional remote viewers and/or others alike. Make a new video about whatever they discover and it may even surprise or shock you and your viewers. That is one option, at least. Or just leave it a mystery, don't give it another thought.

110 million went from the Company to the seller, so the company got punished already, lol. Seller bought it for 40 million in 2019. Let's hope seller will put the money to good use, unlike the buyer. lol. The buyer is struggling to sell the property now, he had to cut the price by 20 million already.

[@moisesaguilar9724]

Amazing house

[@Legendary_Productions]

Yea, it really was

[@pookatim]

I am not familiar with Florida law specifically but in most municipalities, you cannot simply tear down a taxable property and leave an empty lot. No demolition can proceed without a permit and the permit will have to include the purpose and future use of the property. So, perhaps someone got a permit to tear this down to build something that would benefit the community with increased taxes and then went broke? It won't be vacant land for long. There is too much potential for tax revenue.

[@Legendary_Productions]

Yes, I'm sure they obtained a permit. The purpose isn't really known but I can tell you it's the CEO of Este Lauder and he is not broke. Far from it. I assume he will somehow make money from this but I also don't see how.

Mr. Lauder is the executive chairman of beauty giant Estée Lauder Companies. He recently listed two parcels in Palm Beach with about 360 feet of ocean frontage for a combined $200 million. He bought one of the properties, a roughly 1-acre parcel, for just under $25.4 million in 2020, records show. He purchased the second property, spanning about 1.8 acres, for an undisclosed price in 2021. Both lots had houses that were demolished.
