Shaq, Martha or Nicky for your next home?
By: Zillow Team Zillow.com | November 17, 2006
Earlier this year, Martha Stewart garnered a ton of press with the rollout of her Martha Stewart-branded homes and communities with KB Homes in North Carolina and Georgia.
Now it seems many celebrities are hopping on the branded-residence bandwagon. Inman News (subscription req.) and Forbes.com both have published stories in the past few weeks on the increasing number of celebrities who are lending their names (and sometimes their fortunes) to housing and condominum projects.
Shaquille O’Neal and Nicky Hilton are both building condos in Miami (will Shaq build high ceilings befitting of his 7′1" frame?). Newly-retired Andre Agassi and wife Steffi Graf are developing time-share properties. And Mick’s daughter Jade Jagger is designing a 12-story Manhattan condo building.
If this trend continues, who do you think will be the next celebrity to jump on the bandwagon?

P diddy branded an Escalade, so why not homes?
Seriously, Zillow should brand homes, and make little zillow communities. zillities or commulows…
just throwing around some thoughts.

those KB homes of Martha’s are close to my home here in North Carolina, and they are U-G-L-Y in my opinion!

I know that Martha got quite a bit of press out of her KB Homes, but I read a story in Forbes about Kathy Ireland Doing it first in Florida or Alabama somewhere. I would want to buy one her hers. I love her home products. I am sure they are beautiful.
