On April 25, the Planning Commission convened a special meeting to review the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) of the proposed mixed-use development at 9600 Wilshire Blvd., drawing impassioned comments from more than a dozen community members, preservationists, hospitality professionals and labor representatives.
If approved, the proposal would rehabilitate the Saks Fifth Avenue Women’s Building and transform a currently used office building and an adjacent vacant lot into a massive development containing residential, retail, commercial and hotel properties split into two districts.
