The Beverly Hills Planning Commission unanimously approved an extension of the Conditional Use Permit and Historic Incentive Permit for a planned hotel development at 9111 Wilshire Boulevard. The project will transform the historic structure into a boutique hotel just as the area becomes more accessible via the Metro D Line (formerly known as the Purple Line). Although the project first received approval back in January 2020, construction never began, necessitating the extension.
“Adaptive reuse is really something that we all strive to do when we’re looking at these…historically significant buildings,” said Commissioner Myra Demeter at the Feb. 25 hearing.
