So who owns the property, who's the contractor and who's the architect?

Given that this property which was purchased for $117.5M is on 8 acres with a much lesser fraction of development than Larry Ellison's estate, I bet that the county wishes it could have a do over on Ellison's property tax appeal.

Essentially Ellison's attorney argued that Ellison's property was only worth a small fraction of what was put into it because nobody would ever be willing to pay to rebuild what he did. In other words, that only Larry was crazy enough to spend upwards of $200M to develop a residential property, so it would never sell at that price. So he succeeded in getting his assessment rolled back to about $70M. And yet here we have some other crazy billionaire who is not satisfied with his own $117.5M property....

A lot of people don't know that Ellison's $3M+ property tax refund was paid from every tax rate member in the county (ie, Menlo Fire District, Menlo Schools, Sequoia High Schools, Ravenswood Elementary, etc).

The architect of record for this project is Van Acker Construction.

Owner is reportedly Japanese businessman Masayoshi Son the CEO of Softbank. He went to high school in SouthSF and college at UC Berkeley.

I don't have absolute knowledge but my understanding of the sale price
on Mt Home Rd. was mostly artworks--only a small percentage was the real estate.

> Mt Home Rd. was mostly artworks--only a small percentage was the real estate

The owner paid the 2012 supplemental bill and the 2013 regular tax bill of $1,275,426.88 on the full $117.5M purchase price, so if it was artwork it was built into the structure.
