Beverly Hills released a 22-page development projects list on Oct. 1 showing a pipeline of multi-story residential and mixed-use buildings working through the city's planning process.

The largest projects on the list include a 14-story, 210-unit residential tower proposed at 211-217 S. Hamilton Drive and a 19-story mixed-use development with 165 apartments and a 73-room hotel at 125-129 S. Linden Drive. Both are filed under the state's Builder's Remedy provision, which allows developers to bypass some local zoning rules when a city lacks a compliant housing plan.

The Hamilton Drive project, owned by Flamingo Investments and 18 Hamilton LLC, includes 42 affordable units. Its application has been on hold at the applicant's request since a Nov. 15, 2024, public hearing notice, with no new hearing scheduled, according to the city's Builder's Remedy project page.

The Linden Drive project has a more complicated history. An LA Superior Court judge ruled on Aug. 14, 2025, that Beverly Hills violated state housing law by failing to process the application, according to the tracking site Who Killed the Building. The developer subsequently revised the proposal from 19 stories to 36 stories, though the city's Oct. 1 list still describes the project at 19 stories. The city's Builder's Remedy page lists the project's status as "in process following litigation" with no hearing scheduled.

A seven-story, 68-unit building is also moving through review at 214-224 S. Arnaz Drive. Owned by Arnaz Court Associates LP and represented by attorney Dale Goldsmith, the project was deemed incomplete on July 9 after revised plans were submitted in June. Planner Sevag Sassounian is assigned to the application.

Other active projects include a six-story, 70-unit senior housing building at 416-418 N. Maple Drive, currently on hold at the applicant's request, and a seven-story, 40-unit development at 149-153 S. Maple Drive and 9225 Charleville Blvd. that received a notice of pending application on Sept. 16.

The list also includes commercial projects. A four-story building with rooftop dining at 422 N. Camden Drive was deemed incomplete again on Sept. 30. A zone change and three-story addition at 499 N. Cañon Drive was also deemed incomplete on Sept. 25.

A 10-unit project at 208 N. Crescent Drive received a public hearing notice on Oct. 2, making it the only project in the extracted portion of the list with a hearing notice this week.

State housing laws are reshaping what gets built in Beverly Hills. City Manager Ryan Gohlich said in July, commenting on the separately approved 34-story tower at 8300 Wilshire Blvd., that "it's a result of state law, and it's something that we don't have discretion over," as reported by the Beverly Press.

The Planning Commission, chaired by Lou Milkowski and currently operating with one vacancy, meets next on Thursday, Oct. 8, and Thursday, Oct. 22, at 1:30 p.m. The full projects list and meeting information are available on the city's Planning Commission page.
