KYLIE Jenner’s Hidden Hills mansion has made major construction progress, but exclusive photos suggest it’ll be years before it’s done.
Construction began back in 2021 and is far from being finished.

The U.S. Sun has exclusively obtained new photos of the home, revealing the progress thus far.
Photos show the wooden frame of the sprawling mega-mansion built, along with several smaller structures standing alongside it.
Behind the house is a line of well-manicured trees as well as what appears to be the makings of an elaborate garden of some sort.
Beyond that sits the mansion of Will Smith.
There is no roof on the home yet, nor is there a pool or any cement work outside aside from some retaining walls and what appears to be a small patio over a driveway leading to an underground garage.
The home is entirely plywood and metal at this point, showing no signs of what it will look like when it’s complete.
Kylie’s future home sits not far from her sisters Kim, Khloe, and Kourtney Kardashian, and mom Kris Jenner.
KYLIE’S COMPOUND
While the home doesn’t look like much at this point, it’s going to be a sight to behold when it’s finished.
The home is situated in the luxury gated community of Los Angeles’ Hidden Hills.
It will feature multiple rooms, lavish living and dining areas, and several bathrooms.
Additionally, there will be a 12-car garage, sports court, and at least one swimming pool.
Kylie paid a whopping $14,990,000 for the land she is building the home on back in April 2020.
The U.S. Sun was the first to show building work had begun in 2021, revealing photos of the steep slopes that had been excavated and leveled off.
Los Angeles realtor Tony Mariotti, CEO of RubyHome Luxury Real Estate, told The U.S. Sun at the time that building the home could take several years.
He noted that A-listers tend to want everything custom-made using unique and often hard-to-get raw materials, especially in the post-Covid era.
He explained that the project isn’t dissimilar to building a hotel.
Tony said: “They are bigger. I know that’s obvious, but bigger homes just take longer. For example, that foundation, with the subterranean garage is some serious business. Not only is it huge, but it is way more complex than a typical foundation.
“There’s more plumbing, more wiring, more air vents running through and around a foundation like that. Major systems, like heat and A/C, electrical, and roofing, are also more complex. The materials are heavy-duty.
“Interior materials are not off-the-shelf products found in your local hardware store. The marble or stone they use, and the carpet they use, are unique and most likely sourced from around the world.
“If you run out of something or have difficulty with the materials, that’ll cause a delay.
“There are a lot of custom dimensions. You can see in the framing of the home that there are several major support beams that took time to get right-sized and properly seated.“Notice the two white construction sheds. That’s a sign that there are multiple managers and foremen on the site.
“This is a project on the scale of a large restaurant or small hotel.
“They’ve got multiple sub-contractors coming and going, doing all sorts of work, all of which is going to be custom and detailed. Laying the stone or carpet in that house could take weeks instead of days.
“The city inspections that happen along the way will take longer. If the builders violate or overlook any building codes, it’ll take days or weeks to straighten things out.
“Builders who work on high-quality custom homes in the LA area get a reputation for how much attention they pay to detail. The builder responsible for this home will be riding every subcontractor’s ass to make things perfect.
“Builders of this caliber will always prioritize getting things right even at the expense of moving slower.
“This is just a big project. And the number of things that can go sideways is large.”
KYLIE’S PADS
This home will be the fifth in Kylie’s already-impressive real estate portfolio.
It’s not expected to be her main residence, as she has been spending much of her time in her $36.5million resort-style compound in the Holmby Hills area of Los Angeles, where she lives with her kids.
Kylie also owns a 15,500-square-foot mansion in Palm Springs that boasts five bedrooms, six bathrooms, and an infinity pool.
The prime piece of real estate is close to Kris’ vacation home in Palm Springs, as well as a two-acre vacant plot owned by Kim Kardashian.
