The One is a private residence in Bel Air, Los Angeles. It is a compound of a main residence and three smaller houses in the modernist style and was developed by Nile Niami. The property is 105,000 square feet (9,800 m²) on 3.8 acres (1.5 ha). Construction began in 2014 and was completed in 2021. Niami initially sought to sell the mansion for $500 million, but his company fell into bankruptcy and the building sold at auction for $126 million, a record auction sale price in the United States.

Design and construction

Nile Niami purchased the 3.8-acre (1.5 ha) lot on a hilltop in Bel Air, Los Angeles, for $28 million in 2012. The plot has a 360-degree view of the Pacific Ocean, Downtown Los Angeles, and San Gabriel Mountains. The property had a 10,000-square-foot (930 m²) house, which Niami demolished.^[1]^[2] Construction began in 2014.^[2] Workers removed 49,000 cubic yards (37,000 m³) of dirt from the property in 5,000 truckloads,^[3] a process which took two years to complete.^[4] Residents of Bel-Air who opposed the project formed a homeowners alliance, which was led by Fred Rosen, the former chief executive officer of Ticketmaster, who insisted that it should be permitted as a commercial development.^[3] In December 2016, the Los Angeles City Council approved rewriting city ordinances to more strictly regulate the size of new homes being built in single-family neighborhoods and areas with hills.^[5] Niami intended to have The One completed by 2018,^[4] but construction experienced delays and it was not completed until 2021.^[2]

The One was designed by Niami and Paul McClean, who was also the architect, and Kathryn Rotondi, the interior designer.^[2]^[6] Niami named it "The One", as Niami insists that there is no house like it, and said that he wanted to list it for sale at $500 million.^[1] The One is a private residence designed with modernist architecture.^[7]^[8] The property is a total of 105,000 square feet (9,800 m²), including a 74,000-square-foot (6,900 m²) main residence and three smaller guest houses.^[6] The One has 21 bedrooms and 42 bathrooms, with a 5,500-square-foot (510 m²) primary suite. The One also has a 10,000-square-foot (930 m²) skydeck, putting green, a 30-car garage with two display car turntables, four-lane bowling alley, movie theater, nightclub, hair salon, a "philanthropy wing" designed to host charity galas with up to 200 guests, and a "Monaco-style" casino.^[2]^[9] The property has a 400-foot (120 m) jogging track and five swimming pools, including a moat with an infinity edge.^[2]^[7]^[10] Fortune estimated the mansion would require 50 HVAC systems and cost $50,000 a month in electricity costs to cool during the summer.^[11] The One contains custom art pieces made by Niclas Castello, Mike Fields, Stephen Wilson, and Simone Cenedese.^[7]^[2]

Loot, an Apple TV+ series, was filmed at The One in 2021.^[12]

Financial troubles and sale

Niami acknowledged that he had to halt construction at times due to a lack of financing.^[13] Niami borrowed $82.5 million from Don Hankey's investment fund, Hankey Capital, in 2018. The debt grew to over $110 million by March 2021, when Hankey served Niami with a notice of default, giving Niami 90 days to repay the debt.^[14] Crestlloyd, Niami's limited liability company, defaulted on a total of $165 million of debt stemming from the property in March 2021.^[15] Crestlloyd went into bankruptcy under Chapter 11 in an attempt to prevent The One from falling into foreclosure,^[16] but the Los Angeles County Superior Court put the property into receivership in July.^[17] Niami sought to create a cryptocurrency called The One Coin that would be backed by the house to raise funds to pay off the debt, but the plan did not succeed.^[18]

Concierge Auctions listed the compound for sale at $295 million in January 2022.^[19] It did not receive an offer and went to a bankruptcy auction in March 2022, where it sold to Richard Saghian, the chief executive officer of Fashion Nova, for $126 million^[20] plus a 12-percent commission to the Concierge Auctions that raised his total investment to $141 million. The sale set the record for the largest property sale at auction in the United States, topping the Hearst Estate in Beverly Hills, which sold for $63.1 million in 2021.^[21] The house lacked a certificate of occupancy and required an estimated $20 million in additional construction costs at the time of the sale.^[7]

Niami attempted to contest the sale, looking to raise $250 million from investors before a bankruptcy court could approve the sale, while other creditors objected to the sale due to the lower than expected price.^[22] However, a judge approved the sale.^[23] Creditors filed lawsuits over the proceeds of the sale.^[24]
