Project Challenges: An extensive approval process with the City of Beverly Hills took two years to complete.  To keep the project on schedule, the up/down method of structural installation allowed the 5 1/2 levels of parking to be excavated while the super structure and building enclosure was put into place.  125,000 square feet of high end retail and a cafe on the fifth floor all opened on schedule and on budget.
