The Weeknd may have sung Can’t Feel My Face, but one look at his new $55 million mansion will leave your jaw numb. The Grammy-winning singer-songwriter, who grew up in a small Scarborough apartment with his mother and grandmother, is in contract to buy a waterfront Gables Estates home in Coral Gables, Miami.
Set on a V-shaped peninsula at 41 Arvida Parkway, the sprawling 19,000-square-foot mansion sits on a 1.2-acre point lot surrounded by glistening Biscayne Bay. The property was previously owned by oil recycling mogul Steven Lempera, who purchased it for $25.5 million in 2019. Now, it’s poised to become The Weeknd’s first real estate purchase in South Florida.
From his modest beginnings in Canada to his lavish Bel-Air compound, The Weeknd’s real estate journey reads like a chart-topping rise. This Miami estate follows the same pattern of perfection, featuring a pool, hot tub, and outdoor kitchen that open to tranquil water views. Its highlight is an enormous dock large enough to berth a 200-foot superyacht, a fitting addition for a global star who’s constantly on the move.
That’s the thing about The Weeknd’s homes: there’s always a standout feature. His $70 million Bel-Air residence came with a hammam, a dramatic outdoor waterfall, and a studio-ready footprint, while his $19 million Beverly West penthouse offered a full-floor aerie above the L.A. Country Club with a marble waterfall island bar and wall-to-wall wine room.
The Coral Gables mansion continues this tradition of grandeur. Surrounded by water on three sides and lined with manicured rows of palms, it features 574 feet of prime waterfront and a 140-foot private dock on protected waters.
The eight-bedroom, nine-and-a-half-bathroom retreat is a vision in white, with a mosaic-tiled pool, intimate lounges, a sleek media room, and a sprawling living area complete with a wet bar and grand bifurcated staircase. Sunlight floods the interiors, bouncing off pale marble floors and floor-to-ceiling windows that blur the line between indoors and paradise outside.
It’s easy to see why the Blinding Lights singer was drawn to the radiance of the primary suite, a kingly sanctuary with its own spa bathroom, private lounge, and expansive dressing room overlooking the bay, according to Realtor.
