WE HAVE A PROBLEM Kim Kardashian faces major obstacle in Palm Springs ‘spaceship’ mansion’s construction as building permit expires
KIM Kardashian has faced a major obstacle in her Palm Springs mansion’s construction as her building permit application has expired, The U.S. Sun can exclusively reveal.
On June 29, Kim’s building permit application for the new home she plans to design in the shape of a spaceship expired for the second time. The U.S. Sun first broke the news Kim, 42, filed to build on the $6million piece of land in the winter of 2021.
Despite taking to Instagram to confirm the ambitious project in April 2023, Kim’s application has faced more delays.
Kim’s road to break ground was first postponed in February 2022 when The U.S. Sun reported that the City of La Quinta requested more information to meet fire safety and pool codes before the construction commenced.
Because the application expired, Kim could not pick up where she last left off and had to start back from square one.
After Kim renewed the application, the City of La Quinta gave the star’s architecture team until June 29, 2023, to comply with their updated plans.
It appears Kim’s building permit application has expired again, for as of today, it has not been marked as “approved” on the city’s website.
OUT OF THIS WORLD
The U.S. Sun previously reported Kim’s new 41,817-acre home will include a pool, spa, and a circular outdoor courtyard right in the center of a triangular-shaped home.
The design from the original sketch showed her home shaped like a rounded-edged triangle with a hole in the center of it, intended for the outdoor courtyard.
Her courtyard has plans for a fountain and pond. The former blueprint also included bathrooms, a garage, laundry rooms, utility rooms, a kitchen, and more.
Some of the luxury features included automatic sensor lights, solar panels on the roof, and even an indoor elevator for the two-story home.
‘ROUND THE WORLD!
Back in April, Kim traveled all the way to Japan to meet with the architects and shared pH๏τos from inside the design process. In prototype pictures, Kim confirmed the spaceship-shaped design, and the interior hallways appear to be made from concrete.
The front of the home is triangular and the exterior walls appear to be the same grey, cement color.
Kim captioned her update on the project: “Met with the master himself, Tadao Ando to review and discuss a dream project we have been working on for the past two years.”
She elaborated: “I visited his office in Japan so that we could make the finishing touches before we break ground.”
Kim concluded: “So deeply honored and incredibly humbled to have the opportunity to work with him and finally see this special project come to life.”
Despite the City of La Quinta not yet approving Kim’s plans, it appears she is still hoping to break ground soon.
EARTH TO KIM!
Kim and her ex, Kanye West, 46, bought the land before their divorce was filed, and now Kim has continued her plans to build the bachelorette pad solo over the past two years.
The Kardashians are taking over this exclusive area in La Quinta, The Madison Club, as Kim’s property is down the street from Kris, 67, and Kylie Jenner, 25.
Kim’s plot of land lies along a golf course, and Kim and her four children will be surrounded by views of mountains and trees.
The California spot is just a little over five miles from Empire Polo Club, Indio, which is where Coachella takes place each year.
Before their divorce, Kim and Kanye also purchased vacation homes together in Wyoming for $28.5 million.
