A presentation to the Beverly Hills Architecture and Design Review Commission offers a fresh look at plans for a new multifamily residential development just south of Santa Monica Boulevard.

The project, previously seen before the Beverly Hills Planning Commission in October 2025, would replace existing rental housing at 9945 Durant Drive. Plans call for the construction of a six-story building featuring 29 one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments over parking for 52 vehicles.

Project entitlements include density bonus incentives to allow for a larger structure than otherwise permitted by zoning rules. In exchange, three of the apartments are to be set aside for rent as affordable housing at the very low-income level.

LOHA is designing 9945 Durant, which would consist of an H-shaped building featuring courtyards, a rooftop deck, and balconies for residents.

"The design of the project respects that context and similarly creates a street facing courtyard framed by two masses," reads a narrative included with the presentation. "This strategy helps to gradiate between the large multifamily frontage to the west and the small duplex facades to the east. Facade materials were chosen to suit the context of the streetscape while elevating the design through refined, contemporary finishes."

City records list the project's developer as YK 9441 Durant Drive. The same ownership group previously worked with LOHA on a project on La Cienega Boulevard in nearby West Hollywood.

The proposed project, while larger than its immediate surroundings, is easily eclipsed by the scale of a different development now taking shape to the north - the massive One Beverly Hills complex.
