2025 Los Angeles Branded Residence Comparison
Aman Beverly Hills: Ultra-High Privacy. This is a true "botanical sanctuary" at One Beverly Hills. It offers a monastic, zen-like luxury with a 10-acre garden and the most discreet service model in the city. Best for the reclusive buyer who wants to be "invisible" in the heart of the city.
Project Milestone Timeline: One Beverly Hills (home to the Aman)
2024: Groundbreaking. Foundation work, utility installation, and the drilling of deep geothermal wells began.
Late 2025: Vertical Construction. The "Big Pour" of 3,800 cubic yards of concrete marked the transition from underground to above-ground. Buildings are now officially rising on the 17.5-acre site.
2026: Facade & Amenity Installation. Installation of the Norman Foster-designed glass facades and the initial planting of the 10-acre botanical gardens.
Late 2027: Phased Delivery Begins. The first owners of the Aman Residences and initial commercial retail spaces (including Dolce & Gabbana and Casa Tua) are slated for move-in.
2028: Grand Opening. Full completion of the Aman Hotel, the 100,000 sq. ft. Aman Club, and the opening of the 4.5 acres of public botanical gardens.
Four Seasons Private Residences: High Privacy & Global Polish; (9000 W. 3rd St): Standalone Sovereignty. Located in a sleek 12-story tower, this offers the classic, warm "Four Seasons" service that families and international buyers trust. It has a more social, community-focused vibe with a 19-seat IMAX theater and a resort-style pool. Unlike the historic Beverly Wilshire, these are brand-new (completed 2021), standalone residences located at the corner of 3rd and Wetherly.
The Design Pedigree: This building is a collaboration between architect CallisonRTKL and AD100 designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard. Bullard’s signature "Star-Power" interiors blend mid-century nostalgia with ultra-modern luxury, featuring wide-plank white oak floors and floor-to-ceiling glass walls.
Gourmet Ready: Every kitchen is outfitted with professional-grade Gaggenau appliances and custom cabinetry—a huge selling point for buyers who value a chef-caliber experience.
The Standout Feature: Beyond the design, it hosts a 19-seat IMAX Private Theatre Palais, which remains the first and only one of its kind in a Los Angeles residential building.
The Vibe: Sleek, Mid-Century Modern "California" cool. Perfect for the buyer who wants the brand name but values a quiet, low-profile entry.
The Distinction: This is a "paparazzi-proof" building—meaning it is 100% residential with no hotel guests in the lobby. You get the 5-star Four Seasons service (managed by a dedicated Director of Residences) without the public foot traffic.
8899 Beverly: Architectural & Boutique. An Olson Kundig-designed masterpiece in West Hollywood. It features massive Vitrocsa sliding glass walls and a "collector" feel. Best for those who view their home as a piece of modern art and want to be steps from the Design District.
Rosewood Residences Beverly Hills: Boutique & Exclusive. With only 17 residences, this offers an incredibly intimate experience. It features private elevator entries for every unit and a rooftop pool. Best for the buyer who wants the amenities of a mega-project but in a quiet, low-density setting.
Pendry Residences West Hollywood: High-Energy & Evolution. Located on the iconic former House of Blues site, these residences offer the boldest "Sunset Strip" lifestyle. While the original Britely club closed in 2024, the building has pivoted to a more curated, boutique hotel experience now known as The Sun Rose. Residents still enjoy elite perks including Wolfgang Puck’s Merois rooftop dining and the intimate Sun Rose music venue. The Vibe: It’s "Rock-and-Roll Glam" with massive terraces. Best for the buyer who wants an active urban lifestyle and front-row access to WeHo’s nightlife evolution.
Encore Brentwood (505 S. Barrington): The Westside Modernist. A boutique collection of 39 residences just steps from San Vicente. Unlike the massive hotel-branded towers, Encore offers a more intimate, private-club feel with a rooftop pool, outdoor pizza oven, and 24/7 concierge. Best for: The buyer who wants ultra-luxury finishes (Sub-Zero/Wolf, custom German closets) without the high-density environment of Beverly Hills.
