DeAndre Jordan, a former Los Angeles Clipper who was let go by the Los Angeles Lakers after only one season, has signed with the Philadelphia 76ers, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t want to continue to earn big bucks in Los Angeles. In fact, the gold winner from the 2016 Olympics has just spent $8.6 million on a brand-new modern home on the affluent outskirts of Brentwood and Santa Monica.
The three-story, 7,500 square foot contemporary was finished last year and, according to marketing materials, was “inspired by Mid-Century Modern architecture”. It occupies about 7,500 square feet over three storeys and contains five bedrooms and seven bathrooms. Jordan was represented by Joe Tourtelot of Compass; Lucas Cintra and Aaron Kirman of the Aaron Kirman Group listed the property.

Unceremoniously, the front entrance opens into a large, open-concept living space that separates the living room from the library/office with a double-sided wood-clad glass fireplace.
The family room extends onto the backyard through large glass walls, and the high ceilings and light oak floors continue into the kitchen and prep kitchen. The master suite includes a custom walk-in wardrobe and a tiny balcony off the large bathroom, while each of the four guest rooms has a separate bathroom with unusual tiling.

The dramatic lighting in the backyard, the swimming pool and spa, the fire pit, and the built-in barbecue are all features of the finished basement’s ample entertainment area. An unexpected feature is the rooftop terrace, which offers panoramic views of the neighborhood.
Basketball champion Jordan, 33, has not fared as well in the Southern California real estate market. He lost $1 million on the sale of a 10,000 square foot property in Pacific Palisades in 2016, and more than $750,000 less than the $10 million he spent for a roughly 9,000 square foot mansion in Malibu in 2017. He stands to make a big profit if he decides to sell the three-bedroom high-floor condo in a luxury skyscraper in Chicago’s River North area that he bought for roughly $1.5 million almost ten years ago.
