Documents submitted earlier this year to the City of Beverly Hills reveal changes to developer Crescent Heights' proposed Builder's Remedy project at the former site of the Temple Emanuel Youth Center. 

When revealed in early 2024, the project at 8844 Burton Way was envisioned as a 20-story edifice featuring roughly 200 apartments. At the time, plans call for a tower up to 223 feet in height with approximately 480,000 square feet of floor area, 277 parking spaces, and 40 lower-income units.

New versions of the project submitted for review in March and July of 2025 maintain the same density, but opt for a taller building of 26 stories. Likewise, The amount of proposed parking has been increased to 318 stalls in the revised plan, while the amount of affordable housing has been revised to consist of 14 extremely low-income units and eight moderate-income apartments.

Large Architecture is designing 8844 Beverly, which would rise approximately 309 feet to its roof level and 321 feet to its absolute apex. Renderings portray a contemporary glass-and-steel tower with a large amenity deck. Parking would be provided in a two-level podium and a three-level semi-subterranean garage, with amenities to be concentrated on the fourth floor and upper levels.

A landing page on the Crescent Heights website describes 8844 Beverly as a "modern, contextual design seamlessly integrates with the impeccable Beverly Hills landscape."

The project was a result of an extended period in which the City of Beverly Hills found itself at odds with state regulators over its housing element, failing on multiple occasions to secure certification. While the City refused to process the numerous Builder's Remedy projects that originated during this period for more than one year, the 8844 Burton Way project is one of a handful which were eventually accepted for review.

Crescent Heights is no stranger to building high-rise on the Westside, having previously completed the 40-story Ten Thousand apartment tower in Century City. The company's L.A. portfolio also includes planned high-rise developments in Koreatown, Downtown, and Hollywood.

Though taller than its immediate surroundings in Beverly Hills, similar high-rise projects are in the works a few blocks to the east in the City of Los Angeles, including a proposed 19-story tower at 333 San Vicente Boulevard and a 16-story building at 333 La Cienega.
