Billionaire Uber Creator Garrett Camp Flipping $10M New Build in Hollywood Hills Following Recent $73M Purchase

After purchasing this Los Angeles-area 2018-built concrete-and-glass contemporary a few months ago for $9.6 million, Uber co-founder Garrett Camp has u-turned and tossed it back onto the market near his buy-in price.

The purchase represented an ‘in the neighborhood’ indulgence for Camp, who had been living in a beautiful architectural purchased in 2016 for $6.1 million in the same corner of the hilly landscape above the ’Strip. But earlier this summer the billionaire added a Trousdale Estates residential property to his portfolio for a whopping $73 million—a record-setting sale price—which may have made both homes in the Hills superfluous.

So up for sale goes the starkly unemotive contemporary, which is expressed as an imposing and somewhat forbidding home from the exterior. Within, it features a very effective balance of warm wood and industrial-luxe elements. The rooms are nicely composed, with the kitchen perhaps taking the prize for its mix of darker and paler wood and stone, and the potent sense of scale established by the floor-to-ceiling cabinetry.

The home is designed around the pool, spa, and outdoor lounge and kitchen area, and opens broadly onto this space of meditative relaxation and ebullient, upscale recreation at every opportunity via retractable glass walls. It’s a winning design, and a fairly large house: 6,400 square feet.

The occasional inlaid floor and marble or tile fireplace, and a series of tasteful hanging light fixtures comprise the ornament in the home. Floors are generally natural-toned hardwood, which gives the interiors a sense of balance and a bit of soul as well.

With the $73 million Beverly Hills house presumably earmarked as a primary residence, and this one for sale, one would expect to see Camp’s other house above Sunset for sale in the near future, unless it is repurposed as a guest house.
