There are some exciting changes in store for the Beverly Hills Skyline, particularly the intersection of Wilshire Boulevard and Santa Monica Boulevard where two long awaited projects are poised to rise.
A spectacular high rise condo and retail center has been approved for the eight acre site that previously housed the Robinsons-May department store. With the fashionable address of 9900 Wilshire and Getty Center architect, Richard Meier designing, this residence is destined to be a hot spot. According to the newly approved plans the complex will feature 235 ultra-luxury condos divided between two towers. One tower topping off at 13 floors the other at 15 floors. Plans also include a small amount of retail and restaurant space.
A mere stone's throw away the Beverly Hilton/Waldorf-Astoria project is poised to expand by also adding luxury condos to the newly renovated complex. The Montage Beverly Hills is under construction in the Golden Triangle commercial district and there are still other luxury condo projects in development stages. Stay tuned to LA Condo Lifestyles for all the latest news and updates.
Critics of these projects contend that traffic patterns will be disrupted. However Mayor Barry Brucker has cited that the 9900 Wilshire project alone will create close to $60 million in upfront fees for Beverly Hills, which can be used, among other things, for street improvements.
