A-Team Agents on “The Case”
Kurt Rappaport and Stephen Shapiro of Westside Estate Agency, joined by Paul Lester and Sandro Dazzan of The Agency, along with Tyrone McKillen and Tal Alexander from Official, hosted an event on an early October evening at The Edge. This property is one of the five luxurious ocean-view homes currently on the market, meticulously crafted by the renowned designer Scott Gillen, the visionary behind The Case community.
The guests at the event were enthralled by the breathtaking views, innovative architecture, and exceptional atmosphere. The gathering, featuring Omakase-style catering by Nobu, held attendees’ interest well into the evening as they enjoyed the stunning sunset and panoramic ocean vistas.
The Edge, a cutting-edge blufftop architectural estate with a turn-key design overlooking the Malibu shoreline, distinguishes itself for its beauty and the outstanding team of agents exclusively representing The Case. This collaboration highlights the collective knowledge, networks, and expertise of top agents representing the most exquisite properties in Malibu – a recipe for success.
Named The Case, this enclave of five homes draws inspiration from the midcentury modern Case Study homes admired by Gillen. Each lavish residence in the development spans over 10,000 square feet and provides breathtaking ocean views. The Case initially gained attention during its pre-construction phase, spanning over eleven years, captivating real estate enthusiasts with its unique concept and prime location. This private, 24-hour guard-gated community consists of five newly constructed estates, perched above Malibu Colony Beach on 24 coastal acres of land. Each home offers a secluded blufftop sanctuary with unparalleled views. Situated just minutes away from Nobu and Soho House, The Case stands as the epitome of exclusivity in residential development nationwide.
Shapiro emphasizes the exceptional quality infused into each home, stating, “The craftsmanship in each home is unparalleled. Every wall, cabinet, bathroom, and closet must meet impeccable standards. Each residence features an outdoor kitchen, guesthouse, gym, media room, and wine room. Every detail has been meticulously considered.”
