Work Has Begun on Building Set To Be Tallest in Beverly Hills

Just west of the Beverly Hilton hotel in Beverly Hills, California, heavy equipment is hauling away soil in advance of a US$2-billion development that will create the tallest buildings in Beverly Hills, Urbanize reports. One Beverly Hills is being developed as a joint venture between Alagem Capital Group and Cain International. Plans call for the construction of a collection of mid-rise and high-rise buildings containing a combined total of 255 condominiums, 79 hotel suites, and approximately 30,000 ft² of commercial space. From a distance, the most distinctive elements of the project will be a pair of 31- and 28-story residential towers that will rank as the tallest buildings in Beverly Hills at completion. Along Wilshire, plans also call for a smaller 10-story structure which would feature the Aman hotel suites. A study conducted by the city shows that construction is expected to last 50 months.
