Sustainability
The 9600 Wilshire project is designed through the lens of sustainability. The goal of achieving carbon neutrality will be achieved through the State of California 2030 – 2035 Carbon Neutrality Mandates. In addition, the project aims for a LEED Gold standard.
Some of the tools and strategies to achieve these goals include:
- An all-electric HVAC System
- All-electric kitchens in residences
- Landscaped and planted roofs to reduce the urban heat island effect, improve air quality and reduce greenhouse gas emissions
- Enhanced ventilation exceeding code by 30%
- Use of Mass Timber in the construction of the buildings, a sustainable, renewable material that inherently contributes to energy savings
committed to advanced water conservation
As stakeholders in Beverly Hills, we are committed to advanced water conservation policies and investment:
- Invest in water-saving measures for water reduction and reuse, including gray water and rainwater harvesting systems for irrigation and outdoor water features
- Use plants that are drought-resistant and create habitat for indigenous species
- Create hardscapes that capture rainwater and runoff
- Provide landscaped public areas that exceed code requirements to reduce the urban heat island effect
- At least 15% of the landscape area of the project shall be planted with edible plants unless prohibited by applicable government regulations
