ENHANCING OUR PLACE IN BEVERLY HILLS
Since 1936, the Saks Fifth Avenue store in Beverly Hills has been a luxury retail fixture along Wilshire Boulevard and has served as the retailer’s West Coast flagship. The store has grown along with Beverly Hills, all the while bringing the prestige and elegance our customers have come to expect, and has since moved to a new location at 9570 Wilshire Boulevard.
Our initial concept was put into motion years ago, born from our commitment to being at the forefront of the rapidly changing retail landscape.
In 2022, we took our first public steps toward executing our vision for our enhanced environment in Beverly Hills. The concept was simple – bring a curated collection of uses that complement Saks Fifth Avenue’s longstanding retail presence, make way for the revitalization of our historic building and create a unifying place for all of Beverly Hills to enjoy.
In 2022, we hosted an introduction to the project attended by over 100 community members. Here is a summary video of our public presentation of the concept plan. This public event showcased the proposed preservation efforts, the planned (and now executed) relocation of the Saks Fifth Avenue Beverly Hills women’s store and the introduction of all new public space.

Toggle back and forth to see how the reimagination of surface parking lots and their conversion into vibrant public spaces lined by community-scaled development makes for an attractive, cohesive and walkable environment.
