TMZ reports that Rick Ross, the hip-hop heavyweight whose mansion became a talking point during a brief feud with Drake, is now undertaking a massive $20 million renovation project on his Star Island estate.
Spearheaded by celebrity homebuilder Manny Angelo Varas, President, and CEO of MV Group USA, construction officially commenced last weekend on Ross’s lavish 37 Star Island residence.
The rapper made headlines last August when he acquired the sprawling 6-bedroom, 9-bathroom palace for a cool $35 million, with plans for significant upgrades slated for completion by year-end.
TMZ broke the story, highlighting the rapper’s ambitious real estate venture as it takes shape.
In a recent development, Ross, accompanied by his confidants Manny and Luc Belaire founder Brett Berish, conducted a comprehensive walkthrough of the property, closely monitoring progress.
The meeting comes on the heels of a publicized spat between Ross and Drake over their respective real estate holdings, adding an intriguing layer to the ongoing narrative.
Drake’s quips about Ross’s property, dubbing it the “slice of cheesecake” plot, and dismissing Brett’s involvement as insignificant, have been widely circulated amidst the renovation fervor.
Brett and Manny, renowned builders with a clientele that spans from billionaires to celebrities, are key players behind MV Group, a construction company known for its opulent residences across Miami and Miami Beach.
TMZ’s coverage sheds light on Ross’s ambitious renovation project and the involvement of industry heavyweights in bringing his vision to life.
With a track record of catering to an elite clientele, including numerous celebs and wealthy executives, MV Group’s role in Ross’s mansion makeover promises to elevate his real estate profile and potentially rewrite the narrative surrounding his property holdings.
