Drake's Mansion is so unbelievable that some of its features can only be described as awful every bathroom in his house when you walk up to the toilet it opens and starts playing Tupac hit him made funnier by the insane legal battle Drake went through just to have it built the brick wall is an eyes sword to my clients in the neighborhood he first purchased the property for 6.7 million in September 2015 at which point it simply looked like this a 1963 Bungalow with a three-car garage and swimming pool although it was obvious that Drake was
focused on a different part of the property he never cared about like buying a big house he was just like I care about buying land Drake bought the house for its land and location being a two a lot amongst other mansions in the Toronto neighborhood of bridal paath the suburb ranked as the richest area in all of Canada with its residents having an average net worth of 22 million and an average home value of 5.1 million YouTube videos driving through the area show some of the craziest houses you might ever witness and as a result
it's no surprise that Drake decided to build there on the 18th of May 26 16 Drake's barely decipherable three-story Mansion plans were first released to the public which accompanied a planning notice at the front of the residence leading to annoying Petty problems before construction had even started Dr quickly discovered that the house he' bought to demolish had been designed by a world famous architect and as a result he'd be scolded by the media for wrecking a piece of history in one article titled Drake Take One Dance with that Bridal path home before tearing it down
the writer stated I'm pretty angry with you for considering it a tear down while the demolition notice had comments such as maybe a minor variance in zoning but one more sad step in Toronto's blindest interest in Heritage although these complaints were nothing compared to the issues caused by the new design as the proposed Mansion was so freaking huge it goes beyond what's permitted there for example the mansion's height of 17 M was well beyond the 11 M permitted by Council while his 34 M wide driveway was 3 and 1/2 times larger than the allowed width
of 9 M but the aspect that received the the most backlash was the height of Drake's new fences fences more than twice as high as would otherwise be allowed in part due to security concerns on his property everyone knows where he sleeps where he eats and and that has really freaked him out as mentioned Drake's extra high fences were proposed for security however his neighbors made an effort to push back immediately the brick wall is an ey sord to my clients in the neighborhood as it could be observed from every almost every single room of
my client's residence despite this councilors cited with Drake after learning his spent $1 million on trees for the property and as a result the building was finally approved roughly 2 months later Drake's Builder and architect Ferris rafy posted this image to his Instagram with the title let's get started this was followed by another post only 8 Days Later showing that the block had been completely flattened in the process creating a brand new problem Drake's lovely neighbors had launched another complaint against him claiming that trades were being cut down on the property before they'd received permission
to do so as a result Drake was now now facing a fine of up to $100,000 for every tree destroyed although his Builder maintained that they' done nothing wrong this was confirmed after a council investigation which stated there have been no violations there have been no large trees cut down I'm very glad that Drake and the company he has hired is obeying the law roughly 1 month later an archived satellite view of the property showed that construction was back underway which accompanied a new post on Ferris Instagram hinting at just how crazy the Mansion was
going to be this is how we build an official NBA indoor basketball court Shoring an excavation in process which was followed by another post 1 month later showing the speed at which the house was being built in the process Drake came by to check out the property which had begun framing only 4 months later a stage which was fully completed within a matter of weeks at which point the Builder revealed another crazy detail while the original plans put the Mansion at 21,000 s ft this number had since been doubled to 45,000 s ft which included
a 3200 s foot master bedroom suite for context the size of an average three-bedroom home is usually around 1,600 squ ft meaning Drake's bedroom was going to be the same size as two fully built middle class homes although Drake showed no remorse for his extravagance stating because I was building it in my hometown I wanted the structure to stand firm for a 100 years I wanted it to have a Monumental scale and feel it'll be one of the things I leave behind so it had to be timeless and strong it's overwhelming High luxury that message
is delivered through the size of the rooms I wanted to make sure people can see the work I put in over the years reflected from every Vantage Point as construction continued Ferris and Drake once again posed at the front of the property although this in combination with countless media articles listing his address accentuated an aspect that was already a massive problem security the attempts of getting into this property is daily and nightly as mentioned by Drake's representative the house was being broken into every single day and night only made worse when the house was given
a Geo tag as Drake's mansion on Google Maps as a result Drake had to high significant security dude his security is insane you ever seen security imagine more wow okay you're not getting to this guy no chance with this also being seen in a video by a YouTuber named walking lady don't go on the property again all right don't go what sorry on the property and echoed in this comment reading a drove past his house looking to take some pictures but there were these three to four big dudes standing out front guarding the place what
a life in one notable incident Drake's Toronto Mansion was stormed by a knife wielding woman who allegedly struck a security guard with a pipe while while there were obviously some security hurdles during construction there was no denying the house began to look incredible after laying the slab for the basketball court Ferris uploaded a video showing the Court's entire construction process which included a drag themed scoreboard drag themed onc Court branding and even Drake themed basketballs the video received comments such as this is the dopest indoor court I have ever seen a celebrity have Beats shacks
and Jordans but while the basketball court could only be described as awesome there were other aspects of the property that were better described as awesomely stupid for example Drake spent $700,000 on the world's most expensive bed created specifically for Drake's house the bed named Grand Vitus weighs 530 kg or 1,168 and took over 600 hours just to make a single one the bed has a whiskey and share campaign bar on the back side of the bed head and a dedicated team of employees who flip and clean the mattress every 3 months in addition to the
bed Drake had a £4,000 bathtub delivered to his onsuite which was made from one giant piece of marble at a cost of over $50,000 after finishing in the tub Drake can get dressed in his twostory walk-in closet which he since defended as being an important part of the property the bedroom is where I come to decompress from the world at the end of the night and where I open my eyes to seize the day the bed lets you float the shower lets you escape and gather your thoughts and the closet makes you want to talk
to yourself while getting dressed on the 5th of October 2019 roughly 3 years after construction first began Drake posted this video to his Instagram showing that the luxury Mansion was near in completion while providing a further Snak peek into some of its wild features there were the singing toilets we mentioned earlier as well as quite possibly the craziest indoor swimming pool you might ever witness however it wouldn't be until Drake moved into the home six months later that he'd also show off his separate outdoor pool as apparently the property needed two separate pools on top
of this Drake bought a custom bendor a piano for an estimated $500,000 which was shown for the first time in the 2C Slide music video where Drake would also display a room holding every award he'd ever won additionally Drake built an entire hallway for the sole purpose of displaying basketball jerseys and considering Drake also has suntanning beds in his bathrooms it's no surprise that even DJ khed prais the designer by stating amazing job I want you to build my next estate I've been thinking the name of the one we're going to build together because Embassy
is incredible champagne poy inspired me on another level I have more work to do although even if you include Drake's 12C car garage and $10 million car collection the mansion's often quoted value of 150 million is way over exaggerated the most expensive home ever listed in Bridal path was on the other side of Drake Street which had an asking price of 45 million in 2021 the home was built at the same time as Drakes and has a similar nine-bedroom 16 bathrooms 12C car garage and an indoor swimming pool the property failed to sell for 45
million and has since had its price dropped to 40 million so wild Drake's house is certainly more luxurious it probably wouldn't sell for 150 million or even half of that despite this Drake has certainly achieved his goal of building a Monumental property orbe it at the cost of his time money and even his safety
