SAN FRANCISCO — LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Build Group, Inc. announced today it has been selected to construct Apres Beverly Grove. This transformative new mixed-use development will bring luxury residences, curated retail, and community amenities to one of Los Angeles’s most promising corridors.
Located at the intersection of Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, and Los Angeles, Apres Beverly Grove will replace long-vacant storefronts with a vibrant new address designed to spark neighborhood revitalization. The eight-story development will feature 124 spacious luxury residences, including five penthouse units with private balconies, as well as ground-floor retail to re-energize the local business community. Amenities will include a resort-style pool, club lounge, fitness center, and a full-service spa with treatment rooms.
“We are grateful for the trust and excited to deploy our team’s expertise on a project that will revitalize an underused area into a destination that attracts residents, supports businesses, and creates good jobs. This is about building Los Angeles forward — shaping communities that reflect both the city’s heritage and its future,” said Andrew Clark, President, Southern California at Build Group.
Designed by Steinberg Hart, with interiors by Rodrigo Vargas Design (RVD & Associates) and landscaping by MJS Landscaping, Apres Beverly Grove combines world-class architecture with a deep sensitivity to place. The development will restore vitality to a once-dormant corridor along San Vicente and Third Street, where empty storefronts had become symbols of stalled growth.
A Catalyst for Housing and Economic Renewal
Apres Beverly Grove is part of a broader effort to reimagine key corridors across Los Angeles by transforming dormant commercial parcels into housing-centered, mixed-use destinations. The development underscores the city’s commitment to addressing California’s urgent housing shortage while also generating momentum for local retail and small businesses.
City planners and community advocates have increasingly pointed to projects like this as models for sustainable urban infill. By concentrating housing near established transit and employment hubs, developments such as Apres Beverly Grove can reduce commuting times, support walkable neighborhoods, and bring renewed foot traffic to legacy commercial streets.
Demolition on the site began in July, with shoring and foundation work now underway. The project is expected to be completed in mid-2027, delivering not just a new address but a renewed vision for the community.
Design, Jobs and Community Impact
Beyond its architectural presence, the project is expected to generate hundreds of construction jobs over the next two years and create permanent employment opportunities through its retail and hospitality components. Build Group noted that its self-perform capabilities will allow greater participation from local subcontractors and skilled trades.
The design team has emphasized pedestrian-friendly streetscapes, enhanced lighting, and landscaping intended to reconnect the corridor with surrounding neighborhoods. Community amenities such as the spa, fitness center, and club lounge are expected to serve as gathering spaces that integrate new residents with long-time neighbors.

Addressing a Critical Housing Need
Los Angeles continues to face one of the nation’s most severe housing shortages, with demand for high-quality multifamily units far outpacing supply. Apres Beverly Grove adds 124 residences to a market where new inventory has struggled to keep up with population growth. Local officials have repeatedly called for projects that combine density with thoughtful design—an approach this development seeks to embody.
By converting underutilized commercial land into a mixed-use environment, the project aligns with state and municipal goals aimed at increasing housing near job centers. Experts note that such developments can help stabilize rents over time while improving neighborhood safety through increased activity and street-level engagement.
Strengthening a Historic Corridor
The San Vicente and Third Street intersection was once a thriving retail district before years of vacancies diminished foot traffic. The introduction of ground-floor shops and restaurants is expected to draw both residents and visitors back to the area. Urban economists predict that surrounding property owners may follow with renovations of their own, creating a ripple effect of reinvestment.
Construction Approach
Build Group’s involvement brings extensive experience in complex urban infill projects. The company’s self-perform divisions—spanning concrete, exterior skin systems, and interior finishes—are expected to streamline scheduling and maintain quality control. Sustainability measures, including efficient building systems and drought-tolerant landscaping, are also being incorporated to meet California energy standards.
