Aman Under Construction - A View from Rosewood Residences

If you've been following Los Angeles real estate—or if you're just someone who appreciates truly exceptional architecture—you've probably heard whispers about One Beverly Hills. This 17.5-acre development brings Aman's first West Coast property to LA, and it's not just another high-rise project. It's a complete rethinking of what urban living can look like in Los Angeles.

Located at the intersection of Wilshire and Santa Monica Boulevards (less than a mile from Rodeo Drive), One Beverly Hills is dedicating half its footprint to botanical gardens and green space. Yes, you read that right. In one of the most valuable real estate markets on the planet, more than half the property will be gardens.

The development seamlessly integrates the existing Beverly Hilton and Waldorf Astoria with Aman's 78-suite hotel, two residential towers, a 100,000-square-foot private club, and luxury retail including Dolce&Gabbana, Los Mochis, and Casa Tua Cucina.

As someone who specializes in Los Angeles branded residences, I've been tracking this project closely. Let's break down what makes One Beverly Hills worth paying attention to.

What Is Aman (And Why Does It Matter)?

For those unfamiliar, Aman is one of the world's most exclusive hospitality brands. The name comes from the Sanskrit word for "peace," and the properties—from Bali to Utah—are known for exceptional design, privacy, and a focus on tranquility over flash.

Aman Beverly Hills marks the brand's entry into the Los Angeles market, and it's significant for a few reasons:

It's bringing high-rise luxury to a city that's historically resisted it. LA has always favored sprawling estates over vertical living. This project challenges that assumption—and judging by early sales, buyers are responding.

It's not just a hotel. Aman Beverly Hills includes 78 all-suite hotel rooms, two residential towers, and a 100,000-square-foot private club. It's a full lifestyle ecosystem, not just a place to stay or live.

It's redefining what "urban sanctuary" means. The property dedicates eight acres to lush botanical gardens designed by RIOS, featuring over 200 species of native and adaptive plants. This isn't token greenery—it's a deliberate celebration of California's biodiversity.

🌿 The One Beverly Hills Vision: A Complete Campus

One Beverly Hills spans 17.5 acres at the western gateway to Beverly Hills, adjacent to the Los Angeles Country Club. The site has history—it was once home to the Beverly Hills Nursery, a horticultural landmark that supplied Southern California with plants for decades.

That legacy isn't being erased. It's being elevated.

The Complete Development Includes:

Aman Beverly Hills - The star attraction with 78 all-suite hotel rooms, 138 residences across two towers (28 and 31 stories), and a 100,000-square-foot private club

The Beverly Hilton - Completely restored and upgraded, maintaining its legacy as one of LA's premier event venues (home of the Golden Globes)

Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills - Seamlessly integrated into the campus

Luxury Retail & Dining - Including Dolce&Gabbana, Los Mochis (coastal Mexican), and Casa Tua Cucina (Northern Italian)

10 Acres of Botanical Gardens - More than half the property dedicated to green space, with 4.5 acres publicly accessible

The landscape design, led by RIOS, draws inspiration from California's diverse ecosystems:

Shaded oak ridges
Bright coastal meadows
Pollinator gardens with butterflies and hummingbirds
Two miles of walkways, trails, sitting areas, and water features
Over 200 species of native and adaptive plants

This isn't just aesthetics. It's a statement about what luxury development can—and should—prioritize.

The masterplan also creates new pedestrian walkways and bike lanes throughout the campus. It's rare to see a project of this scale that values connectivity and green space as much as it does built density.

The Architecture: California Modernism Goes Vertical

Designed by Kerry Hill Architects, Aman Beverly Hills celebrates the simplicity and elegance of California's modernist design tradition. Think clean lines, neutral palettes, natural materials, and an emphasis on indoor-outdoor flow.

The two residential towers rise 28 and 31 stories—modest by New York or San Francisco standards, but significant for LA. Floor-to-ceiling glass frames views from the Hollywood Hills to downtown, Century City to the Pacific Ocean.

But here's the standout detail: every residence includes expansive terraces with private pools.

Yes, private pools. In the sky.

It's the kind of amenity that bridges California's love of outdoor living with the convenience of high-rise life. You're 300 feet in the air, but you can still dive into your own pool surrounded by greenery.

Foster + Partners led the overall masterplan, seamlessly integrating the site with the Beverly Hilton and Waldorf Astoria. The result is a campus that flows—walkable, bikeable, and designed for both residents and the public.

The Residences: What You're Actually Getting

Let's talk numbers and layouts, because this is where it gets real.

Residences range from:

3,100-square-foot two-bedroom homes
Up to 10,500-square-foot sky mansions
Penthouses reaching 25,000 square feet

To put that in perspective, many single-family estates in Beverly Hills don't offer that kind of square footage.

What makes these different from typical luxury condos:

Private pools on every terrace. Not a shared amenity—your own pool, your own outdoor space.

Lofty interiors with floor-to-ceiling glass. Natural light, views, and that essential California indoor-outdoor connection.

Artisan craftsmanship throughout. High-quality finishes, natural materials, and thoughtful design details.

Hotel-level services. Maintenance, concierge, valet—everything is handled. For buyers splitting time between multiple cities, this is a huge operational advantage.

Access to the Aman Club. Dining, wellness, cultural programming, and a private social space reserved for residents and select Aman partners.

The residences are designed to feel like sanctuaries. Whether you're watching the sunset over the Pacific or seeing downtown LA light up at night, the views are undeniably LA.

The Aman Club: 100,000 Square Feet of Private Membership

This isn't just a gym with a yoga studio. The Aman Club is a 100,000-square-foot private members club designed exclusively for residents and select Aman partners.

What's included:

Curated dining experiences. Reflecting California's farm-to-table ethos and LA's position as a global culinary destination.

Holistic wellness programming. Beyond typical fitness—this is Aman's approach to health and well-being.

Cultural programming. Art exhibitions, screenings, lectures, and events that celebrate creativity and connection.

Private social spaces. Both intimate lounges and larger venues for gatherings and celebrations.

The Club is where community happens. It's the living room for the entire development, designed for residents who value access, curation, and privacy in equal measure.

The Market Reality: Record Pricing, Strong Demand

Here's where my real estate expertise comes in, because the numbers tell an interesting story.

Pricing starts at $20 million.
Average cost per square foot: $7,000 — a Southern California record.
First tower: Already 60% under contract and in reservation.

Construction began in February 2024. The project is opening in phases starting in 2027, with full completion expected by the 2028 Olympics.

What does this tell us?

The market for ultra-luxury, high-rise living in LA is not just strong—it's hungry. For years, conventional wisdom held that Angelenos wouldn't embrace vertical living the way New Yorkers or San Franciscans have. Aman Beverly Hills is proving that assumption wrong.

Understanding what drives California luxury buyer psychology in 2026 helps explain why this project is resonating so strongly with UHNW buyers.

Why buyers are responding:

Timing. LA is experiencing a renaissance ahead of the 2028 Olympics, with billions being invested in infrastructure and new luxury developments transforming the skyline.

Turnkey luxury. Unlike a traditional estate, these residences come with hotel-level services, maintenance included, and the option to participate in Aman's rental program when you're not in residence. For buyers splitting time between multiple cities, this is a huge advantage.

Location. You're less than a mile from Rodeo Drive, adjacent to the Los Angeles Country Club, and positioned at one of Beverly Hills' most prestigious addresses. The convenience factor alone is worth millions to buyers who value their time as much as their square footage.

Scarcity. There are only so many residences being built, and they're already selling at a pace that suggests demand will outlast supply. In a city where new luxury inventory is limited by geography and zoning, scarcity drives value.

Timeline: Building Toward 2028

Construction began: February 2024
Phased opening: Starting in 2027
Full completion: Expected by the 2028 Olympic Games

LA is preparing to welcome the world, and developments like Aman Beverly Hills represent the city's evolution into a truly global destination for luxury living. The 2028 Olympics will showcase a Los Angeles that has invested in infrastructure, embraced thoughtful density, and created destinations worthy of a world-class city.

For buyers, this timeline creates opportunity. Early reservations lock in pricing and selection, and you're buying into a development that will benefit from the billions being invested in LA's infrastructure ahead of the Games.

🌅 What It Actually Looks Like to Live at One Beverly Hills

Let me paint you a picture.

You wake up in your Aman residence, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame views of the Pacific catching morning light. You step onto your 2,000-square-foot terrace and dive into your private pool before most of LA has hit snooze for the second time.

After a workout in the Aman Club's facilities, you take a morning walk through the botanical gardens—two miles of walkways, native sage, lavender, and California breeze. You grab coffee at one of the ground-floor cafés, then head back upstairs to take a call with Tokyo or London. The views make even business feel aspirational.

For lunch, you meet a friend at Los Mochis for coastal Mexican cuisine or Casa Tua Cucina for Northern Italian. You could also walk over to the Beverly Hilton for a business lunch—it's all part of the same campus. The afternoon might include browsing Dolce&Gabbana's boutique or reading by your pool while hummingbirds visit the flowering plants cascading from your terrace.

Evening brings options: a private screening in the Aman Club's cinema, a wine tasting featuring California vintners, or dinner at the Club's main restaurant before friends come over for cocktails on your terrace, where the city lights create their own constellation beneath you.

This is the promise of One Beverly Hills—luxury without pretense, community without compromising privacy, and a lifestyle that's unmistakably Californian.

The Investment Perspective: Beyond the Price Tag

I'm often asked whether developments like Aman Beverly Hills represent good investments. The answer isn't simple, but here's my take.

What you're buying:

A piece of one of the most ambitious developments in LA history
A location that cannot be replicated
A brand (Aman) that commands premium valuations worldwide and has demonstrated strong value retention in other markets

If you're wondering how Aman compares to other luxury brands in LA, I've written a comprehensive comparison of Aman vs. Pendry vs. Four Seasons that breaks down the differences in detail.

Scarcity factor: There are only so many residences being built, and they're selling at a pace that suggests demand will outlast supply. In a city where new luxury inventory is limited by geography, zoning, and development costs, scarcity drives value.

Operational advantages: Unlike a traditional estate, these residences come with hotel-level services, maintenance included, and the option to participate in Aman's rental program when you're not in residence. For buyers splitting time between multiple cities or countries, this represents real monetary value.

Lifestyle dividend: Some investments you make purely for financial return. Others pay dividends in quality of life, community, and daily satisfaction. Aman Beverly Hills offers both.

That said, ultra-luxury real estate is not a liquid asset, and market conditions can shift. If you're considering a purchase at this level, it should align with your lifestyle goals as much as your financial strategy.

🌴 Why This Development Matters for LA

Aman Beverly Hills represents something bigger than luxury real estate. It's a statement about what Los Angeles can be—and what developers can prioritize when they're willing to think long-term.

It celebrates nature without sacrificing density. Half the property is dedicated to gardens and green space. You don't have to choose between building and preserving—you can do both thoughtfully.

It honors California's architectural legacy. The design pays homage to modernist principles—indoor-outdoor flow, natural materials, clean lines—while pushing the language into new territory.

It creates community while respecting privacy. The Aman Club offers connection. The residences offer sanctuary. Both matter.

It proves high-rise living can work in LA. For years, developers assumed Angelenos would never embrace vertical living. Aman Beverly Hills is changing that narrative with design that feels distinctly Californian—not imported from New York or Miami.

This is what evolution looks like. LA doesn't have to lose its soul to grow. It just has to grow intentionally.

Final Thoughts

One Beverly Hills—with Aman as its centerpiece—is ambitious without being arrogant, luxurious without being ostentatious, and distinctly Californian in its celebration of nature, light, and connection.

Whether you're a potential buyer, a real estate enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates great architecture, this is a development worth watching. It represents not just the future of luxury living in LA, but a vision of what urban life can be when developers prioritize beauty, sustainability, and community alongside density and profit.

And as someone who believes Los Angeles is just beginning to realize its potential as a world-class city, I'm excited to see what happens when One Beverly Hills opens its doors in 2027.
