Holmby Hills, Los Angeles · Provenance Record

301 North Carolwood Drive, Holmby Hills

$100,000,000 · recorded 2016

Los Angeles, CA

A newly built estate on the former site of Barbra Streisand’s Mon Rêve, developed by Gala Asher of Dream Projects L.A. and acquired in October 2016 by Tom Gores, chief executive of Platinum Equity and owner of the Detroit Pistons, in a deal reported at $100 million.

The Real Deal and Dirt both describe the transaction as part cash and part trade of other properties held by the buyer rather than a straight purchase, so the $100 million figure represents reported total consideration. Ginger Glass, then of Coldwell Banker, carried the listing from its April 2016 debut at $150 million.
