Beverly Hills
Revised plans for the mixed-use development at 8844 Burton Way have been submitted to the city, increasing the building’s height and overall square footage. The newly proposed design will elevate the structure from 20 stories and 223 feet to a towering 26 stories and just over 309 feet.
Development is spearheaded by Crescent Heights, which retains the total residential density of 200 units comprised of apartments ranging from studio to three bedrooms. Additionally, the number of affordable housing units has garnered an increase, going from 20 to 22 units. Of those, 14 units will be set aside for extremely low-income households and 8 units will serve moderately low-income households.
The revised plans introduce more amenities, which include 318 parking spaces—an increase from the previous proposal—and 24 bicycle parking spots. The developers have also proposed a total open space of 42,226 square feet, which encompasses a rooftop deck to provide residents with leisure activities amidst urban living.
The complete floor area of the building will amount to 492,029 square feet, showcasing a design spearheaded by LARGE Architecture. The development will feature several community amenities, such as private theaters, yoga studios, and clubhouses, designed to enhance the living experience for future residents.
These revised project plans mark a significant step in the construction timeline, having been submitted initially in March and revised again in July. This development is one of 14 Builder’s Remedy projects currently under review in Beverly Hills. However, the city’s landscape for these types of developments is complex, as several of these projects are embroiled in lawsuits against the city, while others have applications deemed incomplete.
The current housing situation in Beverly Hills has been accentuated by a court ruling that requires the city to process applications under California’s Housing Accountability Act. This legal framework directly influences the trajectory of various proposed developments across the area and has prompted other developers to also revise their plans for greater height and density. For instance, a separate project at 125-129 South Linden Dr. recently increased its proposal from 19 stories to 36 stories, reflecting a trend of elevating building heights within the city.
With the revised plans for 8844 Burton Way, Crescent Heights is optimistic about its contribution to affordable housing in the region. The adjustments aim to provide a significant opportunity for various income groups while meeting the increasing demand for housing in Beverly Hills.
As discussions surrounding urban development and housing continue to unfold, the complexity of Beverly Hills’ housing market will remain a focal point for both city officials and developers. The approval of the revised plans at 8844 Burton Way represents a crucial move towards addressing housing needs while adhering to regulatory requirements set forth by the court’s recent ruling.
