Looks like actor, producer, and screenwriter Matt Damon isn’t done with Los Angeles just yet. According to Robb Report, the Oppenheimer actor recently doled out $8.6 million for a fourth-floor unit in a West Hollywood luxury building. This, after Damon packed up his household of six—which includes his wife, Luciana, and their four daughters—in 2020, ditching their Pacific Palisades, California, home for a 6,200-square-foot spread in a lavish Brooklyn building. It is not likely that the Damons will be switching coasts any time soon to move into this new pad full-time, however, as the SoCal two-bedroom, two-bathroom aerie would likely be too small for the entire family.
The edifice itself holds a bit of design pedigree. Originally built as the Los Angeles International Design Center, the nine-story space became the hub of LA’s interior design and architecture community following its completion in 1964. First dreamed up by prolific midcentury modern architect Richard Dorman, the new residential community has been reimagined by AD100 architecture firm Olson and Kundig as a meticulously thought-out residential building in the lap of luxury.
As chef Joshua Weissman welcomes AD into his Austin home in the latest episode of Open Door, he jokes that he doesn’t actually live in a kitchen.
Damon’s never-before-lived-in unit offers unobstructed views of Beverly Hills, the Hollywood Hills, and the San Gabriel Mountains through floor-to-ceiling walls of glass. The abode comes with a massive 1,600-square-foot terrace and other custom touches, like handcrafted bronze and leather door handles, French white oak flooring, travertine walls, and a gourmet kitchen that looks out onto the hills. The building is also packed with alluring amenities like a fitness and yoga studio, an outdoor pool and spa, and 24-hour concierge and valet.

Damon’s 2020 move to Brooklyn caused quite a stir at the time, as reported by Page Six. Not only did the purchase mark Brooklyn’s priciest apartment sale when he bought the penthouse back in 2018, the Bourne actor also shut down an entire street in the Brooklyn Heights neighborhood to house all his trucks filled with furniture. A crane was used to hoist it all into his new place.
