Mendeecees Harris has unveiled The Harris Estate, a 13,000-square-foot property he says he developed and built himself, with locations in Harlem and Atlanta.
He shared the details on Instagram this week, posting the specs alongside a personal message about faith and persistence. “This all started with a vision and a dream,” Harris wrote. “I believed, even when others doubted. The power of the mind and faith turned this dream into reality. We built a home, we built a life, and we’re just getting started.”
The property backs all of that up. Eight bedrooms. Eleven bathrooms. Thirteen thousand square feet spread across two cities. Harris tagged both Harlem and Atlanta in the caption and listed himself as the developer, a title he’s clearly proud of.
He finished the post with the hashtags #GODISGOOD and #BLESSED.
Harris is perhaps best known from his years on Love & Hip Hop, the long-running VH1 reality series. He appeared alongside his partner Yandy Smith. But the Harlem native has been working in real estate for a few years now. The Harris Estate looks like his boldest project yet.
The dual-city footprint is a meaningful detail. Harlem carries deep personal significance for Harris. He grew up there and built his early name in those neighborhoods. Atlanta has become a top destination for Black entrepreneurs, creatives, and entertainment figures. It’s a natural place to plant a flag for a project with this kind of scope. Putting down roots in both cities feels like a deliberate statement.
What stands out most is how Harris frames his own role. He didn’t call himself a silent investor or a backer. He called himself the developer and the builder. That’s a specific claim. In real estate, financing a project and building it are two different things. Harris seems aware of that distinction.
The context makes it hit harder. Harris served roughly eight years in federal prison on drug-related charges before his release in 2020. He’s been public about the difficulty of that period and what it took to rebuild. He’s spent the years since focused on family, faith, and building a different kind of life. The Harris Estate is the most visible sign of that effort to date.
The personal language in the post sets it apart from a standard property announcement. Most real estate reveals focus on specs and pricing. Harris went in a different direction. This reads more like a statement of identity than a listing.
The project carries its own name, The Harris Estate. That choice serves double duty. It works as both a brand and a legacy marker. It’s a name built to mean something beyond the square footage and the floor plans.
Fan reaction on Instagram skewed warm and celebratory. The comments leaned toward celebration, with many treating this as a long-overdue moment. Harris had always been open about the road back. That openness made the moment feel personal to longtime followers.
“THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING,” he wrote at the end of the post. Given everything he’s built to get here, that’s not hard to believe.
