This 1962 West Hollywood office building will be converted into a mixed-use building complete with well-appointed luxury condominiums overlooking LA’s urban landscape. Adaptive reuse became the strategic approach in keeping the building’s nine-story above-grade height. In comparison, newly constructed commercial buildings in West Hollywood are limited to only three stories according to current zoning rules.
8899 Beverly Blvd.'s street-level retail business, Madeo Restaurant, will remain operational during construction.

Structural engineers contribute to civilization and society by designing safe and appropriate design for shelter, but the expertise can go way beyond just the basics."
