It looks like Kanye West has struck a deal to sell his ground-floor loft in Belgium, a residence set within one of Europe’s most design-forward residential enclaves. The rapper’s home at Kanaal—the art-and-living complex created by visionary designer Axel Vervoordt near Antwerp—quickly went into contract after quietly hitting the market at the end of last year, according to sources familiar with the sale. An accepted offer is in place, though the final price and closing timeline remain under wraps.

West acquired the spacious apartment in 2021 and spent extended stretches there while working closely with Vervoordt and his team. At the time, local reports frequently placed him around Wijnegem—one of the most expensive municipalities in Flanders—where his presence became something of an open secret.

The images shown reflect the apartment when it was fully finished with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. It has since been stripped back to its structural shell—a status very much in keeping with West’s habit of gutting properties, from Malibu to Wyoming. Set on the second floor, the roughly 2,260-square-foot residence was offered in casco condition, leaving a future owner with a blank canvas of volume, light, and exposed concrete. Photos from the listing reveal the loft in its current, raw state. 

West’s connection to Vervoordt, of course, goes well beyond Belgium. During his marriage to Kim Kardashian, the designer and art dealer famously reimagined the couple’s Hidden Hills home as a monastically minimalist cream-colored exercise in restraint—one of the most closely watched celebrity interiors of the past decade. After their divorce, Kardashian bought West out and later expanded and renovated the property, largely preserving Vervoordt’s original vision.

Demolishing the interiors of homes has carried through many of West’s real estate experiments, though with mixed results. In 2021, he paid $57.3 million for a Tadao Ando–designed house in Malibu and took it down to its concrete shell before he sold it at a spectacular loss. Similar storylines played out elsewhere, including the slow unwinding of his Wyoming ranches once imagined as creative campuses and self-sustaining communities.
