The Aflalo family has unveiled the look of an eight-story apartment complex and supermarket in Beverly Hills slated to replace a Pavilions market.
Their Aflalo Family Trust and Moshe and Laura Aflalo have released plans via a post from Ottinger Architects for the 110-unit building atop a supermarket at 9467 West Olympic Boulevard, Urbanize Los Angeles reported.
Locally based Aflalo Equities and broker Sammy Aflalo filed plans in April for the Beverly Hills project and another site with a combined 350 apartments on properties co-owned with Harkham Family Enterprises, led by Uri Harkham.
Sammy is the son of Moshe and Laura Aflalo, whose Aflalo Family Trust grew a portfolio of stores in L.A.’s Garment District in the 1990s.
The Pavilions project at Olympic and Beverly boulevards was filed under the builder’s remedy, a loophole in state housing law that lets developers skirt zoning rules in cities that fail to certify their state housing plans, as long as they include at least 20 percent affordable housing.
Plans call for an eight-story building with 110 apartments, 22 of them affordable for low-income households. The apartments would be built above a 16,000-square-foot market, presumably for Pavilions.
The project, designed by Venice-based Ottinger, would include large square windows framed by what appears to be concrete, with inset and exterior balconies, according to renderings. The homes would be set back from the market, allowing a first-floor terrace along Olympic Boulevard.
“Residents will enjoy access to rooftop decks, community rooms, a gym, and coworking spaces, supporting a vibrant, active lifestyle in an urban setting,” reads the Ottinger Architects social media post.
Aflalo has filed plans to build a 140-unit apartment complex with 30,000 square feet of ground-floor shops and restaurants at 333 and 337 South Beverly Drive. It’s not clear if it was filed under the builder’s remedy housing provision.
The developer also plans to build two 10-story residential buildings at 9430 and 9441 West Olympic Boulevard, with 45 and 63 units respectively. The project is a joint venture with Fisch Property, a property management arm of Aflalo.
